....into how the bad guy does things, and how to predict what they'll do.

Public posting:
The Department of National Defence, Defence Research and Development (DRDC), Toronto, Ontario has a requirement for the provision of Scientific & Technical support for behavioral, cognitive, and social sciences research in various security environments and operational contexts. Examples of such contexts include command, communications, computer intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance; collection, analysis and dissemination of intelligence products; effects-based operations; all with an explicit focus on human performance at the individual group and organizational levels.
Now, a bit more detail from the Statement of Work here:
“DRDC Toronto is now actively building its capacity for human sciences in a new research domain: Understanding, prediction and influence of adversaries’ intent …. DRDC requires contractual support for research in this new area. In particular, the Adversarial Intent Section (AIS) of DRDC Toronto anticipates a requirement for significant research effort that addresses the following general topic:

(a) eludication of contemporary security concepts such as Effects-based Approaches to Operations (EBAO), Defence Development and Diplomacy (3D), and the Comprehensive approach (CA) and their use in military capability development and doctrine;

(b) understanding the social, organizational, and cognitive determinants of human capabilities for the effective production of military and civilian intelligence pertinent to domestic and international issues;

(c) influence processes that play a role in conflict-ridden environments characterized by complex interactions among adversaries, allied forces, and bystander groups; (and)

(d) methods and tools for structuring, portraying and analyzing complex contemporary security environments.”
I've "plain languaged" it a bit here.
