Resilient Supply-Demand Networks (RSDN)

By providing situational awareness and stress testing, RSDN will enable DoD and commercial partners to appropriately address systemic risk in procurement and acquisition and to identify and mitigate systemic fragilities before they cause disruptions. The RSDN program will achieve these capabilities by developing a data integration platform and analytical toolkit for supply-and-demand networks. RSDN will use data on supplies of pharmaceuticals, military metals, and military food to implement these novel capabilities in realistic environments and to facilitate transition to operational partners. RSDN’s capstone will be a stress-testing framework, to check for strategic vulnerabilities and explore possible mitigations.
