Quantitative Crisis Response (QCR)*
Abstract
*Previously Quantitative Methods for Rapid Response (QMRR) The Quantitative Crisis Response (QCR) program develops and applies big data analysis and visualization methodologies to better understand the true nature of non-traditional threats, track the effectiveness of remedial measures, and develop/optimize alternative strategies. Recently we have seen the rise of extremely challenging non-traditional threats including illicit networks of (human) traffickers and infectious diseases like Ebola. To counter illicit networks it is important to detect their activities, which often take place on the dark web, and derive their command and control structure. Infectious disease contagion presents a somewhat different challenge, specifically, finding patterns in the spread of the disease and factors that favor/mitigate its propagation. There is also interest in quantitative methods for countering the proliferation of weapons of mass terrorism. QCR will be coordinated with and transitioned to multiple national security agencies.
