- Our training starts here!
- What is Cognitive Warfare?The Treadstone 71 series of Cognitive Warfare courses study practices, methods, tools, technologies of information operations, examples of hybridization, including approaches of countering this type of warfare. The militarization of the information space changes the need for forceful geopolitical takeovers. We continue to experience a genuine technological revolution in waging information warfare. We study complex and elaborate schemes using a methodology of system analysis that identifies and convert an informal description of a process or a procedure into an algorithm starting with machine learning with the goal of mature artificial intelligence.
The Cognitive Warfare Training Course
Our courses are detailed description of the main forms, schemes, elements of modern-day information operations. We demonstrate the use and intent of fake news with examples of specific information operations. Cognitive warfare uses fake news for strategic operations of information wars. The course covers Chinese, Russian, and Iranian methods covering operational warfare of foreign intelligence services. Our content includes the aggressive plots and results of real-world cognitive warfare operations used by:
- Hostile governments
- Proxy groups
- Foreign intelligence agencies.
We see cognitive warfare as much more than an aggressive attack on or refutation of the opinions or principles of some other group or institution. Adversarial intelligence services continue to build and enhance their cognitive warfare battalions coupled with specific technologies that force multiple their capabilities. Possible Goals of Cognitive Warfare that we cover include methods of destabilization through:
- Increasing social and political polarization
- Igniting movements to cause chaos and confusion
- The delegitimization of government institutions and leadership
- Isolating target groups and individuals
- Disrupting visible economic activities
- Causing critical infrastructure disruption and
- Confusing normal communications
