The manoeuvrist approach is, at its most elemental, a mode of thought for overcoming military challenges. By analysing historical and contemporary contexts and incorporating insights from emerging technologies, a manoeuvrist perspective can enhance strategic foresight, agility, and innovation. This study posits that the principles of the manoeuvrist approach underpin cognitive superiority, particularly in information manoeuvre within the OODA decision-making model; combined with appropriate strategic thought, it enables the assertion of interests in the 21st century.
