Vision:
To establish itself as a leading scientific and research authority in the field of cognitive warfare at national and regional levels by 2031, influencing high-level defense and security policymaking, enhancing cognitive literacy among elites, and steering strategic research toward the development of sciences and technologies related to cognitive warfare.
Objectives:
- To advance specialized knowledge in the domain of cognitive warfare and elucidate emerging concepts in this field.
- To foster connections among diverse scientific disciplines (including neuroscience, psychology, artificial intelligence, linguistics, philosophy of mind, security and defense, sociology, and cyberspace) through interdisciplinary research.
- To empower policymakers and decision-making institutions by providing strategic, data-driven analyses in the areas of soft and hybrid warfare.
- To identify and introduce emerging cognitive technologies with applications in security, defense, media, and virtual spaces.
- To establish a scientific platform for analyzing and countering cognitive threats posed by adversaries in the realms of hybrid warfare, psychological operations, and perceptual influence.
- To encourage the nation’s scientific elites to engage in targeted activities in security-focused cognitive sciences, leveraging domestic capabilities to enhance cognitive deterrence.
- To monitor global developments in cognitive warfare and analyze the strategies of competitors and adversaries in this domain.
- To support indigenous research and guide it toward addressing real-world challenges and national needs in the context of hybrid and cognitive warfare.
