From Taiwan’s cyber-drill to Russia’s Zapad exercises, war games are redefining strategic deterrence. AIC unpacks how simulation is now a weapon of policy.
Global War Games 2025: When Simulation Shapes Strategy
The boundaries between exercise and operation are blurring. Taiwan’s Han Kuang 2025 drills featured cyber and infrastructure attack simulations, while Russia’s Zapad 2025 tested combined arms and deception operations at continental scale. Each is a signalling event — a simulation meant to influence as much as it trains.
Modern war gaming fuses live data with predictive AI modelling, enabling leaders to simulate escalation chains, assess deterrence stability, and refine hybrid defence doctrine. The shift from kinetic dominance to informational superiority is complete: the new battlefield is as much digital as physical.
AIC’s simulation and data-fusion technologies reflect this paradigm — crafting synthetic exercises that blend cyber, electronic, and physical dimensions to mirror the multi-domain reality of modern conflict.
