Modeling Adversarial Activity (MAA)
Abstract
The Modeling Adversarial Activity (MAA) program will extend and apply techniques introduced in the Memex program to develop technologies for generating high confidence indications and warnings for weapons of mass terror (WMT) activities. WMT pathways consist of networks or links among individuals, groups, organizations, and other entities that promote or enable the development, procurement, possession, transport, and/or proliferation of WMTs and related capabilities. Monitoring and controlling WMT pathways is essential in denying access to WMT technology, knowledge, materials, expertise, and weapons. MAA will create graph models reflecting prototypical WMT pathways, develop methods for creating merged activity graphs by aligning entities across multiple intelligence modalities, develop algorithms to match empirical graph activity patterns with pathway models, and create synthetic data sets at scale to support development and testing of WMT pathway detection techniques. MAA research will be informed by interactions with the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA).
