Possible Applications of Bacteriological Warfare to Public Water Supplies
"It is the purpose of this review to evaluate the various means of bacteriological contamination of water supplies by an enemy, detection of this type of contamination, and action necessary for disinfection. Bacteriological Warfare, for the purpose of this paper, in defined as follows: the introduction of living organisms, their spores or toxins, into a water supply with the purposeful intent of causing illness, disease, or death to individuals. Unless otherwise specified, the term BW in this paper will imply this limited definition. The discussion will be limited largely to possibilities of contamination of municipal supplies, or parts of such systems, and large individual supplies (large military bases or industrial plants either served by city supplies or by independent sources). An extensive search of available literature applicable to this area of interest has been made. […]. We have not dealt with the moral issue of BW, as we do not believe such discussion is appropriate. In a total war, there is a very definite probability that BW may prove to be more humane than the classical methods of warfare. The civilian population has great fear of the use of BW and perhaps the greatest deterrent to the use of BW is the fear of retaliation. In the following discussion, we cannot escape the conclusion that the so-called 'have not' nations can produce and use the weapons of BW just as effectively as the 'have' nations."

Science and Technology Text Mining: Global Technology Watch
"Global Technology Watch is the assemblage of methodologies, both human-based and computer-based, required to understand the status of science and technology (S&T) globally. Since one important dissemination avenue for S&T is its literature, analysis of technical documentation is an important component of Technology Watch. This paper examines the role and utilization of the technical literature in S&T development and exploitation. Ready access to the results of all global research performed is required to accomplish the following: (1) track research impacts to help identify benefits arising from sponsored research; (2) evaluate science and technology programs; (3) avoid research duplication; (4) identify promising research directions and opportunities; (5) perform myriad oversight tasks; and, in general, (6) support every step of a strategic research planning, selection, management, and evaluation process that makes optimal use of S&T investment resources. In addition, recent counter-terrorism concerns have highlighted the need for ready access to, and analysis of, databases that could link people with institutions and activities. In the S&T arena, this requires linking research performers with organizations, countries, and technical areas."

Structure of the Anthrax Research Literature
"Text mining was used to extract technical intelligence from the open source global anthrax research literature. An anthrax-focused query was applied to the Science Citation Index/ Social Science Citation Index (SCI/SSCI) (SCI, 2006) databases. The anthrax research literature infrastructure (prolific authors, key journals/ institutions/ countries, most cited authors/ journals/ documents) was obtained using bibliometrics, and the anthrax research literature technical structure (hierarchical taxonomy) was obtained using computational linguistics/ document clustering. A novel addition was the use of author and institution auto-correlation maps to show co-publishing networks, and the use of author-phrase and institution-phrase cross-correlation maps to show author and institution networks based on use of common terminology (proxy for common interests)."

Assisting People to Become Independent Learners in the Analysis of Intelligence
"The purpose of this project was to conduct applied research with exemplary technology to support post-graduate instruction in intelligence analysis. The first phase of research used Cognitive Task Analysis (CTA) to understand the nature of subject matter expertise for this domain, as well as leverage points for technology support. Results from the CTA and advice from intelligence analysis instructors at the Naval Postgraduate School lead us to focus on the development of a collaborative computer tool (CACHE) to support a method called the Analysis of Competing Hypotheses (ACH). We first evaluated a non-collaborative version of an ACH tool in an NPS intelligence classroom setting, followed by an evaluation of the collaborative tool, CACHE at NPS. These evaluations, along with similar studies conducted in coordination with NIST and MITRE, suggested that ACH and CACHE can support intelligence activities and mitigate confirmation bias. However, collaborative analysis has a number of trade-offs: it incurs overhead costs, and can mitigate or exacerbate confirmation bias, depending on the mixture of predisposing biases of collaborators."

Maritime Surveillance in the Intracoastal Waterway using Networked Underwater Acoustic Sensors integrated with a Regional Command Center
"Underwater passive acoustic directional sensors and Seaweb through-water networked acoustic communications are implemented in the Intracoastal Waterway at Morehead City, North Carolina on the U.S. eastern seaboard. The objective is to demonstrate capability for first-alert protection of a high-value port facility against asymmetric threats that intelligence sources indicate are arriving via watercraft. Battery-powered acoustic sensors are rapidly deployed at widely separated chokepoint locations in shallow 5-10 meter water. These sensors autonomously detect the passage of a maritime vessel and generate a contact report indicating time, location and heading of the target. Seaweb through-water acoustic communications delivers the contact report via a scalable wide-area underwater network including multiple acoustic repeater nodes and a radio/acoustic communications (Racom) gateway buoy. The Racom gateway telemeters the contact report via Iridium satellite communications to an ashore command center with low latency. The in situ acoustic detection is corroborated using shore-based video surveillance to classify the contact as friendly or actionable."

Information Centric Security: Innovative Protections to Mitigate the Insider Threat
"Security Innovation has been working in partnership with the Florida Institute of Technology to produce designs for tools and technology which will serve to protect sensitive electronic documents from those attackers that operate inside trusted network boundaries. Our focus has been to understand what computing resources and components are used in attacking documents and instrument those resources to log, identify and prevent malicious behavior dynamically. Our overall design protects sensitive documents at three critical times: while on disk, during transmission, and during use. While on disk and during transmission our design augments static cryptographic protections by introducing file locking: the ability to restrict access to documents statically, making cryptographic attacks measurably more difficult by denying access to the encrypted document. The major contribution of this work however is to protect documents when they are most vulnerable: during use. Controls have been designed to protect sensitive documents from attack while their data is being read, edited or executed."

Recovery Algorithms for Ship Survivability
"The Phase I work performed by Electrical Distribution Design, Inc (EDD) evaluated use of a
Linear Graph Iterator based system modeling and analysis approach for reconfiguration and recovery modeling and analysis of shipboard systems. This approach was originally developed by Virginia Tech and EDD for the Power Utility Industry. Several simplified typical ship system arrangements for electrical distribution, firemain and chill water were modeled and analyzed. Included in the analysis were multiple reconfiguration paths, prioritized loads, and relatively short loops and low cable impedances. In addition to demonstration modeling, EDD completed a significant amount of recovery analysis problem definition and integrated systems analysis software architecture definition work. Results demonstrated: (1) EDDs Linear Graph Iterator model based approach is well suited for structuring shipboard system recovery analysis for both design and control; and (2) Significant synergy potential exists for using a Linear Graph Iterator based approach to structure concurrent Utility, Navy and Homeland Security critical infrastructure system reconfiguration and recovery design and control research."

Development of Medical Technology for Contingency Response to Marrow Toxic Agents - Interim Research Performance Report for October 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014
Taken from the Scientific and Technical Objectives section: "The main objective of this grant is to develop, test and mature the ability of the National Marrow Donor Program® (NMDP) to address contingency events wherein civilian or military personnel are exposed to marrow toxic agents, primarily ionizing radiation or chemical weapons containing nitrogen mustard. An accident, a military incident, or terrorist act in which a number of individuals are exposed to marrow toxic agents will result in injuries from mild to lethal. Casualties will be triaged by first responders, and those with major marrow injuries who may ultimately be candidates for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) will need to be identified. HCT donor identification activities will be initiated for all potential HCT candidates. NMDP-approved transplant centers will provide a uniform and consistent clinical foundation for receiving, evaluating and caring for casualties. NMDP coordinating center will orchestrate the process to rapidly identify the best available donor or cord blood unit for each patient utilizing its state-of-the-art communication infrastructure, sample repository, laboratory network, and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) expertise. NMDP's on-going immunobiologic and clinical research activities promote studies to advance the science and technology of HCT to improve outcomes and quality of life for the patients."

Detection and Prediction of Hazards in Ports, Bays and the Littoral Zone: A Lower Chesapeake Bay Test Bed
"The central goal is to integrate scientific resources and understanding so as to enable rapid and effective response to episodic natural or accidental hazards, such as severe storms, harmful algal blooms or toxic spills as well as potential terrorist threats. At the same time, it is intended that by establishing a robust environmental monitoring system in the lower Chesapeake Bay that provides long time series of flows, waves, water levels, water quality and water borne pollutants, pathogens and toxins, we will gain new understandings of complex phenomena while providing operational users with a valuable source of timely information relevant to safety and environmental stewardship. For addressing specific Navy needs, we also aim to provide the Navy with a portable suite of sensors, models and informatics techniques for detection, diagnosis, and predictions of manmade and natural water-borne hazards and threats, including intrusions, water-borne pollutants, pathogens and toxins in ports, bays and littoral waters."

Naval S&T Strategic Plan
"The Naval Science and Technology (S&T) Strategic Plan describes how the Office of Naval Research (ONR) sponsors scientific research efforts that will enable the future operational concepts of the Navy and the Marine Corps. Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of the Navy (DON) strategic documents provide the basic foundation for this plan. The priorities of the Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV), Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) and Commandant of the Marine Corps (CMC) are reflected in the shape of the investment portfolio and nine S&T Focus Areas outlined in the plan. This is a broad strategy that articulates a general direction for the future, while retaining sufficient flexibility and freedom of action to meet emerging challenges or alter course as directed by senior Naval leadership. The Navy and Marine Corps depend on S&T to discover, develop and demonstrate high-payoff, game-changing technologies to ensure the Fleet/Force retain a significant advantage over potential adversaries. This plan enables tomorrow's technologies for our warfighters across all domains."

MECH: Algorithms and Tools for Automated Assessment of Potential Attack Locations (Software User Guide)
"This report presents the user menu for a prototype of the Monitor, Emplacement, and Control in a Halo (MECH) model for modeling and simulation of behaviors associated with insurgent attacks, and their relationship with geographic locations and temporal windows. The software system is consisted of an Android device to make query to a server, which can make tactical analysis using the MECH model based statistical pattern analysis and simulation tools. The statistical pattern analysis method is cross checked with tactical simulations based on the MECH behavior model. The prototype demonstrates the effectiveness of fusion of statistical pattern analysis, simulation, and human interpretation of military doctrines within the context of the two modeling approaches. It shows the feasibility of self-guided situational analysis informed by MECH-based situational awareness analytics."

Parameter Estimation in Chaotic Systems
"This report examines how to estimate the parameters of a chaotic system given noisy observations of the state behavior of the system. Investigating parameter estimation for chaotic systems is interesting because of possible applications for high precision measurement and tor use in other signal processing, communication, and control applications involving chaotic systems. In this report, we examine theoretical issues regarding parameter estimation in chaotic systems and develop an efficient algorithm to perform parameter estimation. We discover two properties that are helpful for performing parameter estimation on non-structurally stable systems. First, it turns out that most data in a time series of state observations contribute very little information about the underlying parameters of a system, while a few sections of data may be extraordinarily sensitive to parameter changes. Second, for one-parameter families of systems, we demonstrate that there is often a preferred direction in parameter space governing how easily trajectories of one system can 'shadow' trajectories of nearby systems. This asymmetry of shadowing behavior in parameter space is proved for certain families of maps of the interval. Numerical evidence indicates that similar results may be true for a wide variety of other systems. Using the two properties cited above, we devise an algorithm for performing parameter estimation Standard parameter estimation techniques such as the extended Kaiman filter perform poorly on chaotic systems because of divergence problems. The proposed algorithm achieves accuracies several orders of magnitude better than the Kaiman filter and has good convergence properties for large data sets. In some systems the algorithm converges at a rate proportional to $\frac{l}{nA{2}}$ where $n$ is the number of state samples processed. This is significantly better than the $\frac{l}{\sqrt{n}}$ convergence one would expect from nonchaotic oscillators based on purely stochastic considerations."

Extremist Ideological Influences on Terrorist Decision Frameworks
"Two cultural studies were conducted to clarify the ideological characteristics that serve as enablers for extreme action. The approach for both studies was to collect and analyze knowledge source materials from the World Wide Web. The World Wide Web is a rich source of cultural information that provides important clues as to the beliefs, attitudes and values of group members. Documents and postings from extremist and moderate sources were collected and translated. Relevant passages were then extracted and analyzed in order to elucidate the ideological characteristics within them. Human cultural researchers conducted the analysis in Study 1 and a new model of core extremist beliefs-values was constructed. In Study 2, the model was further tested by using computational text analysis methods to aid in analyzing sentiment from the web-based sources. Such methods remain at a early research phase of development, so new approaches and techniques were developed. Study 2 served both to corroborate the model of extremist beliefs-values devised in Study 1, as well as to advance the state of the art in automated sentiment analysis. The computational method for measuring cultural values in web-based resources adds another significant component to the cultural analysts' toolkit."
