|
**Administrator:** Université PSL (Paris Sciences et Lettres)

|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Red Team Defense was a French military strategic foresight program that commissioned science fiction scenarios to stress-test defense assumptions and explore future conflict scenarios. Unlike traditional red-teaming or scenario planning, the program explicitly used narrative generation as a strategic planning tool.

## Key Scenarios Produced
|
|
|
|
- Bioterrorism attacks
|
|
- Warfare based on mass disinformation
|
|
- "Pirate nation" scenario
|
|
- **Space Rush:** Escalating conflict as multiple actors compete for space resources
|
|
- **Facing the Hydra:** Implant technology enabling instant skill acquisition for military purposes, fighting adaptable civilian-sourced forces
|
|
- "After the Carbon Night"
|
|
- "Ecosystem War"
|
|
|
|
## Mechanism
|
|
|
|
The program COMMISSIONED new science fiction specifically designed for strategic planning rather than scanning existing fiction for predictions. This represents narrative as strategic INPUT rather than narrative as historical record or cultural artifact.
|
|
|
|
## Validation
|
|
|
|
President Emmanuel Macron personally read the Red Team Defense reports (France24, June 2023), demonstrating presidential-level validation and consumption of the program's outputs.
