Effects-Based Counter Terrorism Operations

The objective of this Phase I effort is to apply concepts in social network analysis to support effects-based plan development at the strategic level for counter-terrorist operations. We will exploit Dr. John Lemmer's CAT (Causal Analysis Tool) tosupport plan assessment. Mr John Beyerle, an EBO expert and Mr. Craig Robinson, a 20 year decorated DIA senior counter-intelligence analyst shall serve as subject matter experts. 21st Century Technologies is uniquely positioned to support this effortbecause the company has substantial internal experience and development contracts in both counter-terrorist and EBO efforts from DARPA and Rome Laboratories, respectively. Federal domestic funding for homeland security is expected to top $42 billion inFY 2003. That substantial sum will be routed through not less than 14 different federal agencies. The proposed EBO based plan development system for counter-terrorist operationscan support such homeland defense applications.
