Hi! We are Grey Dynamics

New: Grey Dynamics After Action Report 📡 #116

Published 3 months ago • 3 min read

Dear subscriber,

Three major launches are transforming how we deliver intelligence:

1. Human Intelligence Course (HUMINT)

The announcement you've been waiting for.

Former CIA senior operations officer Ray White joins Grey Dynamics. He's not just any instructor he helped design and implement the CIA's largest enterprise training program.

Coming this fall: Our most comprehensive course yet.

What makes this different?

  • Taught by someone who actually recruited assets in the field
  • Real-world scenarios, not theory
  • Guest speakers from different intelligence communities
  • Vetted by agency review board

2. OPSEC Podcast & Guide

Your operational security just got an upgrade.

Meet "Allen"—our in-house OPSEC/ISR expert. He's launching the bi-monthly OPSEC Podcast under the Grey Dynamics brand.

What's coming:

  • Practical security tips for professionals
  • Protection strategies for your family
  • Solutions we use for clients in high-risk areas
  • A comprehensive OPSEC guide for intelligence professionals

Note: Our full OPSEC package for austere environments? It's not cheap. But it's kept our clients safe in some of the world's most dangerous places.

3. In-House Training Expansion

Got a team? We'll come to you.

Multiple organisations asked. Now we're delivering.

Available training modules:

  • Human Intelligence (HUMINT)
  • Open Source Intelligence (OSINT)
  • Operational Security (OPSEC)
  • Custom programs for your specific needs

Important: Country restrictions apply. Contact us for details.

My Take: Why Political Risk = Opportunity

Stop calling it just "risk."

Almost every conflict we study—Ukraine, Sudan, DRC, Kashmir—revolves around resources. That's not just risk. That's market intelligence.

Consider this:

  • Critical minerals drive most modern conflicts
  • Supply chain disruptions create new markets
  • Gold prices soar as conflicts multiply
  • First movers gain massive advantages

The brutal reality: While we analyse threat, we also track investment opportunities. That's the world we live in.

Dig in,

Ahmed
CEO Grey Dynamics

New Intelligence Courses, OPSEC and Political Risk with Ahmed Hassan - Episode 66

The Grey Dynamics Podcast welcomes you back. Today, we are doing another solo episode with important announcements. These include new school course focused on Human Intelligence (HUMINT), as well as new podcasts and guides on Operational Security (OPSEC). Both initiatives are being spearheaded by veteran intelligence officers and operators.

Leadership Analysis

General Dan Caine: Who Is the New Head of the US War Machine?

On 21 February 2025, President Donald Trump nominated General Dan Caine for the position of Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (CJCS). The announcement, made via Truth Social, came about concurrently with Trump’s decision to fire Air Force General CQ Brown Junior, who had served in the role for 16 months.

For some, this appointment seems a somewhat controversial choice. Not only does General Dan Caine have a rather unusual background for the role at hand, but the political context of his appointment is also atypical.

Update: India-Pakistan Conflict Enters Uncharted Territory

Grey Dynamics, on 30 April, published a report regarding the terrorist attack in Indian administered Kashmir and the subsequent escalation in India-Pakistan tensions. Both sides have since traded missile strikes and drone attacks in a manner not seen since the 1999 Conflict.

On 10 May, a tenuous ceasefire was announced, and both sides claimed violations by the other shortly after. Since then, Prime Minister Modi has publicly stated that New Delhi had “only suspended” its military operation.

China's New Microwave Weapon: The Future is here

China has unveiled its most advanced high-power microwave weapon (HPM) to date, the Hurricane-3000, signalling a leap forward in electromagnetic warfare capabilities. Mounted on an 8Ă—8 military truck, the Hurricane-3000 uses directed microwave pulses to disable drones and electronics over distances of up to three kilometres.

Developed by state-owned Chinese defence firm NORINCO, the system was first revealed at the Zhuhai Airshow in November 2024 and has since undergone successful field testing. While it is not yet in operational service, its design, featuring gigawatt-level pulses, electronic beam steering, and a radar-optical targeting suite, positions it at the forefront of counter-drone technology.

Bayraktar Kızılelma: Turkey's 5th-Gen Unmanned Fighter Jet

The Bayraktar Kızılelma, also known as Red Apple in English, is a jet-powered unmanned combat aerial vehicle (UCAV) that is currently under development by the Turkish defence company Baykar. Known for producing the Bayraktar line of drones used both in Ukraine and across conflict zones all over the world, the company has developed this advanced fighter jet as part of Project MIUS (Muharip İnsansız Uçak Sistemi, which translates as Combatant Unmanned Aircraft System).

Expected to be introduced into active service with the Turkish Air Force in 2025, this advanced UCAV jet’s fielding will also represent the first time an active service military deploys an unmanned fighter jet alongside its forces in operations.

The Intelligence You Can't Google Just Got Better Decision Maker, While everyone else is arguing about headlines, you've been getting the ground truth. But here's what's changing, and why you should care. The Problem With "Intelligence" Today Every day, 2.5 quintillion bytes of data get created. Executives drown in noise. Analysts chase shadows.

Dear Decision Maker, While your risk assessment teams debate quarterly projections, the real threats to your operations are evolving in real-time across three critical domains that most corporate intelligence briefings completely miss. The first is leadership transition risk. This week's appointment of Major General Mohammad Pakpour as Iran's new IRGC chief isn't just a personnel change. it's a strategic shift that will reshape Middle Eastern energy security and defence procurement patterns...

Dear Decision Maker, Three source reactions that perfectly illustrate why headlines fail decision-makers. One: A source in Lagos describing how Nigeria's banditry has evolved beyond kidnapping into something resembling organised warfare. The sophistication would surprise most Western analysts still calling it "rural crime." Two: A source in Phnom Penh explaining how Cambodia's scam centres aren't just stealing from individuals. They're building industrial-scale fraud operations that dwarf...
