MORS Workshop Homeland Security/Homeland Defense Decision Support Held in Laurel, MD on 15-17 November 2005
Abstract
This workshop was a first major step in establishing relationships between the analytic communities from the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In addition to establishing relationships, the goal of the workshop was to provide the opportunity for analysts and operational planners from the DoD and DHS communities to address and understand the analytic issues that are common, as well as to identify the issues that are unique to the decision makers from each community. The workshop itself consisted of six working groups: Maritime Security, Transportation, Air and Missile Defense, Land Defense, Consequence Management, and Scenario Development. The objectives were to identify key analytic issues and capabilities and to promote collaboration in addressing options and solutions. The specific objectives were: Examine critical analytic issues for protection of the homeland and identify capabilities address these issues to support the decision makers. Examine specific opportunities for collaborative analyses and identify techniques to facilitate the collaboration. Examine tools, techniques and data sources that currently exist and ones that should be created to support decision makers. Examine shortfalls and gaps where analytic support could be applied to assist decision makers.
