Science and Technology Directorate
(S&T) MISSION:
Conduct, stimulate, and enable research,
development, test, evaluation, and timely
transition of homeland security capabilities to
federal, state, and local operational end-users.
• Anticipate, prevent, respond to, and recover from
terrorist attacks
• Transfer technology and build capacity of federal,
state, and local operational end-users
• Provide the nation with a dedicated and enduring
S&T capability

Critical Infrastructure Protection
The National Strategy for Homeland Security identifies 14
sectors and key assets that will be protected:
 Agriculture
 Information and
Telecommunications
 Food
 Energy
 Water
 Transportation
 Public Health
 Emergency Services
 Banking and Finance
 Government
 Chemical Industry and
Hazardous Materials
 Defense Industrial Base
 Postal and Shipping
 Key Assets: National Monuments and Icons, Nuclear Power
Plants, Dams, Government Facilities, Commercial Key Assets
Most of US Infrastructure is privately owned
Critical Infrastructure Protection
 Interdependency
modeling
 Protection of facilities
and capabilities
• Self-correcting systems
• Self-defending systems
• Automated response platforms
• Video motion detection
• Multi-senor warning systems
• Defeat insider adversaries
 National Critical
Infrastructure Protection
R&D Plan
16
Standards
 Minimum performance specifications and test and evaluation
protocols
 Developed primarily within voluntary consensus standards
framework to ensure effectiveness:
• CBRNE, Human,
and Cyber/IT
