leadership) required to control risk and

consequences to acceptable levels,

including counter-proliferation;

intelligence, warning, disruption;

tactical detection and protection (active

and passive); consequence management;

dissemination and how the two need to

be merged; analyze methodology to

correlate large data flows spatially

temporally and functionally (Low SNR);

and assess the robustness of today’s
