U.S. Army Concept for Cyberspace and Electronic Warfare Operations: 2025-2040
"TRADOC [U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command] Pamphlet 525-8-6, The U.S. Army Concept for Cyberspace and Electronic Warfare Operations expands on the ideas presented in TRADOC Pamphlet 525-3-1, The U.S. Army Operating Concept: Win in a Complex World (AOC). This document describes how the Army will operate in and through cyberspace and the electromagnetic spectrum and will fully integrate cyberspace, electronic warfare (EW), and electromagnetic spectrum operations as part of joint combined arms operations to meet future operational environment challenges. Cyberspace and EW operations provide commanders the ability to conduct simultaneous, linked maneuver in and through multiple domains, and to engage adversaries and populations where they live and operate. Cyberspace and EW operations provide commanders a full range of physical and virtual, as well as kinetic and non-kinetic, capabilities tailored into combinations that enhance the combat power of maneuver elements conducting joint combined operations. This concept serves as a foundation for developing future cyberspace and electronic warfare capabilities and helps Army leaders think clearly about future armed conflict, learn about the future through the Army's campaign of learning, analyze future capability gaps and identify opportunities, and implement interim solutions to improve current and future force combat effectiveness."

Military Guide to Terrorism in the Twenty-First Century [Updated August 15, 2007]
"A Military Guide to Terrorism in the Twenty-First Century is a reference guide prepared under the direction of the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), TRADOC G2 as a capstone reference guide on terrorism. TRADOC G2 Handbook No. 1, A Military Guide to Terrorism in the Twenty-First Century is prepared by the TRADOC Intelligence Support Activity (TRISA)-Threats. Understanding terrorism spans foreign and domestic threats of nation-states, rogue states with international or transnational agents, and other actors with specific strategies, tactics, and targets. This terrorism guide addresses foreign and domestic threats against the United States of America in a contemporary operational environment (COE). This informational handbook supports institutional training, professional military education, and operational missions for U.S. military forces in the War on Terrorism (WOT). This document provides an introduction to the nature of terrorism and recognition of terrorist threats to U.S. military forces. A common situational awareness by U.S. military forces considers three principal venues for armed forces: forces that are deployed, forces that are in transit to or from an operational mission, and forces that are primarily installation or institution support. Compiled from open source materials, this handbook promotes a 'Threats' perspective and enemy situational awareness of U.S. strategies and operations in combating terrorism. Neither a counterterrorism directive nor antiterrorism manual, this handbook complements but does not replace Army training and intelligence products on terrorism. This handbook exists primarily for U.S. military forces; however, other applicable groups include interdepartmental, interagency, intergovernmental, civilian contractor, nongovernmental, private volunteer, and humanitarian relief organizations, and the general citizenry."

Computer Viruses: Testing Will Never Be the Same
"Virus prompts partial EPA shutdown was the headline in the November 11, 1996 edition of Federal Computer Week. The article below the headline described the infection of over 600 workstations with a resultant loss of information and a significant denial-of-service as personnel stopped all productive work to deal with the infection. For almost a decade similar headlines have appeared throughout the Federal Government and in particular Department of Defense activities. Computer viruses in the development and test arena continue to destroy test data, to delay the completion of work, and to divert personnel resources away from mission-essential tasks. Ironically software tools to address the viral phenomenon are almost as old as viruses themselves. Yet individual agencies either refuse to utilize such tools, or make questionable decisions in the selection of antiviral software. For those who wish to make an informed decision, it seems reasonable to ask what criteria may be important in acquiring and in using these tools."

Tulane/Xavier Vaccine Peptide Program
"The objective of this project is to develop novel formulation strategies for delivery of Flufirvitide-3 and other therapeutic peptides. Therapeutic peptides can be delivered in a non-invasive manner through the nasal mucosa and through the lungs. A wide range of factors, including mode of inhalation and particle size, influence the deposition of aerosols within the respiratory tract. Chemical modification of the Flufirvitide-3 will be evaluated to optimize its functional activity. The use of micro- and nanotechnology will also be explored through the fabrication of particles encapsulating the peptide that are specifically suited for nasal and pulmonary delivery. The micro- and nano-particle carriers to be considered include a dry powder formulation, microemulsions, nonspherical liposomes, ceramic shell vesicles, and nanometer-sized silk particles. Nasal administration of soluble Flufirvitide-3 both pre- and post-exposure to influenza virus has been shown to be effective in preventing infection in an 'in vivo' animal model. However, multiple doses, pre- and post-exposure were required for efficacy. We hypothesize that the proposed techniques will enhance the efficacy of the therapeutic peptide itself, thereby reducing the required dose, number of doses, and thus the cost of treatment, and improve distribution and release within the upper respiratory tract, thus expanding the duration of bioavailability and efficiency of peptide delivery."

Synthetic Jammer in Seamless and Interactive Environments: A Study and Demonstration
"U.S. Army Test and Evaluation (T&E) is facing several complex and challenging issues: UNREALISTIC THREAT ENVIRONMENT -- Current threat representations do not provide a dynamic and free thinking threat that can act against and react to Blue systems and forces under test, especially in the key areas of Electronic Warfare (EW) and Information Operations (IO). DISCONNECT ACROSS SIMULATION DOMAINS -- No approach currently exists to support a realistic threat environment within the constructive domain that will adequately augment the live and virtual components of T&E. REAL TIME CASUALTY ASSESSMENT (RTCA) -- Current RTCA models and systems do not support real-time or near real-time feedback and assessment of Blue and threat force dynamic interchanges during T&E. RANGE RESTRICTIONS -- Many DoD test ranges preclude open air RF jamming; federal restrictions such as safety issues with regard to GPS jamming. RESOURCE CHALLENGES -- Availability of military units to participate in test events; simply can't fit a Unit of Action (UofA) or Unit of Employment (UofE) on existing test ranges. BECAUSE the live, virtual, and constructive arenas continue to merge into a cohesive environment for the support of testing and training, it is critical that threat realism, as related to EW and IO, is able to transition across all three. THERE EXISTS AN IMMEDIATE NEED for Electronic Attack (EA) models which support EW within the constructive testing environment and which will augment the live and virtual components of T&E; AND we need to integrate this capability in a manner that provides seamless interoperability across the simulation domains."

Akamai Network for Diagnosis, Treatment and Management to Support Telepresence
"The Akamai Project corresponds with the Joint Science and Technology Plan (JSTP) for Telemedicine, published by the Director, Defense Research and Engineering. A telemedicine needs assessment protocol has been developed to support future programs. Telemedicine capabilities are applied to urgent care, hemodialysis, pathology, radiology, surgery and nuclear medicine. A telemedicine evaluation protocol has been fully implemented. Telemedicine is more than patient care and technology; the potential social impact and questions of data security and patient confidentiality have been assessed. The latter have been studied extensively and a new testing environment is underway. Technologies under development include a multimedia database and a virtual reality application for spine surgery, biopsy and breast palpation. These advanced concepts will play significant roles in telemedicine corresponding to the JSTP statement."

Antimicrobial Peptides for Use in Biosensing Applications
"Current pathogen detection systems lack the stability, sensitivity, and time-independent functionality required for real-time biosensing in the field. Antibodies exhibit specificity for pathogenic bacteria but lack the sensitivity to detect reduced pathogen levels and the stability needed for detection in harsh environments. We are investigating naturally occurring antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) for pathogen detection due to their intrinsic stability in harsh environments, ease of synthesis, and broad range of activity and affinity towards microorganisms, including gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. The focus of our research is the tailoring of AMPs not for antimicrobial activity but for selective binding to target pathogenic bacteria. We envision these tailored peptides will replace existing molecular recognition elements in current pathogen detection platforms."

Attack on Bombs: U.S. Air Force Program Weaves Surveillance and Intelligence to Find Roots of IED Attacks in Iraq
The U.S. Air Force is reexamining the way airpower has been applied to the war against insurgents in Iraq, in particular the battle against hidden bombs and suicide bombers. Planners are abandoning the narrow search for single technology solutions to finding and disabling improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and have begun searching for a broader approach that will target enemy planners, organizers, suppliers and bomb makers in their homes and workshops, well before attacks can be put into play. In planning for more than a year, the Air Force last month launched an effort to fuse intelligence around the basic building block of ground moving-target indicator (GMTI) data gathered by aircraft. While some fighters, bombers and unmanned aircraft carry sensors with moving-target detection capability, the primary source of such data is USAF's E-8 Joint Stars long-range radar surveillance aircraft (AW&ST May 16, p. 64).

Role of Defense in a National Emergency (Hurricane Katrina) [powerpoint]
This presentation provides an outline on the role of Defense in a national emergency like Hurricane Katrina. We learned the importance of having a Common Operating Picture (COP), high-tech and low-tech integration communications is critical, and efficient use of abundant resources. A Common Operating Picture (COP) provides an overall understanding of what is happening. High-tech solutions are great however they do not help much if they cannot talk to those in need or those trying to help. Additionally, backward compatibility is important. Efficient use of abundant resources is important. Help came from everywhere, in all shapes, sizes, configurations and modes of transportation, but it needed to be sorted through efficiently. COP and communications allow for efficient use.

Identification of Genomic Signatures for the Design of Assays for the Detection and Monitoring of Anthrax Threats
"Sequences that are present in a given species or strain while absent from or different in any other organisms can be used to distinguish the target organism from other related or un-related species. Such DNA signatures are particularly important for the identification of genetic source of drug resistance of a strain or for the detection of organisms that can be used as biological agents in warfare or terrorism. Most approaches used to find DNA signatures are laboratory based, require a great deal of effort and can only distinguish between two organisms at a time. We propose a more efficient and cost-effective bioinformatics approach that allows identification of genomic fingerprints for a target organism. We validated our approach using a custom microarray, using sequences identified as DNA fingerprints of Bacillus anthracis. Hybridization results showed that the sequences found using our algorithm were truly unique to B. anthracis and were able to distinguish B. anthracis from its close relatives B. cereus and B. thuringiensis."
