Making the Nation Safer:
GENERAL STRATEGIES AND RESEARCH NEEDS
•Biological Research, prepare, distribute response to pathogens
•Chemical/Explosives Sensors & filters
•Info Technology Network security/ER communications
•Energy SCADA controls/adaptive grid/vulnerabilities
•Cities/Infrastructure Emergency responder support
•Transportation Layered system security

Making the Nation Safer:
The Role of Science and
Technology in Countering Terrorism (cont.)
• Predict: Intelligence and surveillance of targets and
means
• Prevent: Disrupt networks, contain threats
• Protect: Harden targets, immunize populations
• Interdict: Frustrate attacks, manage crisis
• Response & Recovery: Mitigate damage, expedite
cleanup
• Attribute: Identify attacker to facilitate response

TRB Special Report 270 released July 2, 2002
Deterrence, Protection, and Preparation:
The New Transportation Security Imperative
Research Needs
· Technology—faster, better, cheaper, smaller,
usable in the real world
· Systems Approach—understand how the
system works—factor security into design
· Human Factors—recognize that even perfect
systems are run by imperfect people
· Unconventional Thinking—what is in the
terrorist’s mind? How do we stay ahead?
