MISSION PROBLEM STRATEGY WARGAMES ADVISORY READINESS MODERNIZATION S.01 S.02 S.03 S.04

Concentrate expertise where the mission needs it most.

SWARM fields small, high-density teams of intelligence, cyber, and mission-operations SMEs on the problems that matter most. Where standard advisory shops assign generalists and leave you with slide decks, SWARM sends operators who’ve lived the mission — and stays until the answer is executable.

What SWARM delivers

Sphinx SMEs embed directly inside your planning, exercise, and modernization workstreams — not a detached assessment, but operators on your side of the table. Each engagement is scoped to a specific mission outcome: a strategy that will hold up in budget defense, a wargame that surfaces the real decision gaps, an advisory that accelerates an acquisition, a readiness review that names what will fail first, or a modernization roadmap the workforce will actually adopt. SWARM teams draw from the Defense, Intelligence, and Cyber mission communities and engage at the tempo the problem demands.

Built For

  • D&I mission owners redefining their threat posture or operational concept
  • DoD acquisition PEOs and program offices under modernization pressure
  • Federal CISOs and security leaders building multi-year security roadmaps
  • Critical infrastructure operators stress-testing continuity and crisis plans
  • Fortune 500 enterprise security leaders preparing for board-level decisions
  • Any organization that needs strategy developed with mission operators, not for them

Five disciplines. One converged approach.

Engage any single discipline or the full SWARM. Each is delivered by a dedicated team of SMEs drawn from the Defense, Intelligence, and Cyber mission communities — and each maps to a specific decision point where the wrong call is expensive.

Strategy
Mission-Calibrated Planning

Translate ambiguous directives, policy changes, and emerging threats into defensible plans that survive budget review and program milestones.

Wargames
Adversary-Aware Exercises

Red-team planning, decision-forcing scenarios, and after-action synthesis that expose the gaps standard tabletop reviews leave untouched.

Advisory
Embedded SME Support

Fast-turn analysis, independent review, and operator-grade input across acquisition, policy, and technical decisions where a misstep is costly.

Readiness
Program & Posture Review

Program, personnel, and infrastructure readiness assessments. Name what will fail first, quantify the gap, and hand leadership the case to fund the fix.

Modernization
Capability + Workforce

Sequenced plans that align acquisition authority, organizational change, and adoption — so modernization actually gets to the operator.
