Bridging the Gap Between
Technology and Policy |
The Center for Technology and National Security Policy (CTNSP) examines
the implications of technological innovation for U.S. national security
policy and military planning. CTNSP combines scientific and technical
assessments with analyses of current strategic and defense policy
issues, taking on topics to bridge the gap. The Center has produced
studies on proliferation and homeland security, military transformation,
international science and technology, information technology, life
sciences, and social science modeling.
Recent successes include the development of the NATO Response Force,
planning for Stabilization and Reconstruction, and a Citizen Preparedness
Poster on WMD. The Center also provides technical and policy expertise
to the faculty and students at the National Defense University.

Mission |
The Center was established to gain new insights by combining expert
analysis of science and technology developments with national security
policy. During its first few years, the Center will focus on the following
initiatives:
|
Assessing the right directions for U.S. and allied
military transformation and helping to remove impediments. |
|
Maximizing the infusion of useful technology
into our military forces, both through defense labs and from
commercial sources. |
|
Using technology to meet new transnational challenges
such as terrorism, weapons proliferation, international crime
and environmental degradation. |
|
Using analytical techniques to better understand
global trends and plan for conflict reduction. |
