Wargaming and Simulation as Tools for CONOPS Development
From the thesis abstract: "The purpose of this thesis is to use wargaming and simulation to gain insight into the effective employment of a new Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) system, the Adaptive Joint C4ISR Node (AJCN). The AJCN provides the supported commander with several capabilities, to include: range extension, waveform bridging, signal intelligence, electronic warfare, and information operations. Two methods are used to gain insight to the support generation of the concept of operations for the AJCN's employment. The first method is wargaming. The wargaming method utilized a class of NPS students and the JCATS combat simulation model. The wargaming generated insights concerning the AJCN's employment. The second method is the use of a constructive simulation model, POA 2. Insights gained from the two methods include: the need for commanders to differentiate the AJCN and its supporting platform; the need for effective information processing techniques; the importance of maintaining at least two-tiers of AJCN coverage to enhance situational awareness of the supported units."

Small Power: The Role of Micro and Small UAVS in the Future
From the thesis Introduction: "Advances in commercial and military technologies are rapidly increasing the capabilities of low cost micro and small UAVs, [unmanned aerial vehicles] enabling them to carry out missions comparable to the larger UAVs at considerably less cost and risk. In addition, new concepts of operation, such as cooperative behavior protocols or 'swarming,' will open the door to numerous missions once thought impossible for small low-cost, low-tech UAVs. In the future micro and small UAVs will be able to conduct missions across the full spectrum of conflict, from intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), suppression of enemy air defenses (SEAD), and electronic warfare (EW) to attack/strike operations. Given their inherent low cost, flexibility, and expendability, micro and small UAVs will play a major role in the success of tomorrow's Air Force. To determine the utility of these smaller UAVs, this paper will analyze three main areas: the drivers, the enablers, and the missions. The drivers are the forces that sculpt the future requirement for smaller UAVs. The enablers, on the other hand, are the technologies and concepts of operation that give these smaller UAVs the capability to fulfill the future needs of the USAF [U.S. Air Force]. Finally, given the need and capability, the last section of this paper will discuss the missions that micro and small UAVs will fulfill in future conflicts"

Anti-Terrorism Authority under the Laws of the United Kingdom and the United States [September 7, 2006]
"This is a comparison of the laws of the United Kingdom and of the United States that govern criminal and intelligence investigations of terrorist activities. Both systems rely upon a series of statutory authorizations: in the case of the United States primarily the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act; in the case of the United Kingdom, the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, the Police Act, the Intelligence Services Act. Among other differences, the U.S. procedures rely more heavily upon judicial involvement and supervision, while those of the UK employ other safeguards. The UK procedures afford greater latitude to arrest, detain and supervise suspected terrorists than those available in the United States."

CRS Issue Statement on Civil Liberties and National Security [January 13, 2010]
From the Document: "Tactics employed to detect national security threats continue to implicate individuals' civil liberties. Electronic surveillance of communications to and from foreign intelligence targets can also capture innocent conversations and chill the exercise of First Amendment rights. New technologies may more effectively screen for explosives or other weapons, but simultaneously produce more revealing images of passengers' bodies. The broadened use of national security letters can provide investigators with a fuller picture to better allocate resources toward more serious threats, but also subject a larger universe of private financial or personal documents to disclosure. As Congress attempts to strike an appropriate balance between the need to detect and thwart activities that pose a threat to U.S. national security and the need to safeguard the civil liberties of U.S. persons, the following issues are likely to remain of interest."

USA PATRIOT Act Reauthorization in Brief [August 10, 2005]
"Both Houses have approved proposals to reauthorize USA PATRIOT Act sections scheduled to expire at the end of the year. […] This is a sketch of those bills and how they differ. Their common provisions deal mostly with expanded federal authority under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA). The bills make permanent all but two of the temporary USA PATRIOT Act sections. They postpone the expiration of the two, dealing with FISA roving wiretaps and the so-call library or business records authority. In these two, the national security letter statutes, and some of the other USA PATRIOT Act provisions make sometimes parallel and sometimes individualistic adjustments. H.R. 3199 contains a number of features not found in S. 1389 including a first responder grant program, new capital offenses and adjusted capital punishment procedures, sections that in large measure replicate the seaport crimes portions of S. 378 (as reported), a substantial expansion in federal forfeiture authority in terrorism and money laundering cases, and expansion of federal wiretapping authority to embrace investigations into twenty crimes for which the authority did not previously exist. A more detailed version of this report is available as CRS [Congressional Research Service] Report RL33027, 'USA PATRIOT Act: Background and Comparison of House- and Senate-approved Reauthorization and Related Legislative Action'."

Health Communication during SARS
Experience with the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) has reinforced the importance of a multipronged approach to preventing disease transmission. Timely health communication, along with surveillance, quarantine, isolation, and travel restrictions, figured prominently among the tools the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) used to help contain the outbreak. During the SARS response, health communication was shown to be an integral element by ensuring that knowledge about prevention measures reached the public, healthcare providers, the media, and other stakeholders. Disseminating information and educational materials is a key element of CDC's response to disease outbreaks that affect international travelers. Electronic media greatly expedite the process of dissemination and enable prevention messages to reach an expanded audience. The SARS response may be compared with a situation approximately 10 years before, when an outbreak of plague occurred in India. This document examines the challenge in today's situation; controlling a disease outbreak that has potential for rapid international spread; and provides guidance tailored for specific audiences.
