Counterterrorism Partnerships Push Art of Possible

摘要

The organization largely responsible for introducing robots on the battlefield now plans to field a miniaturized ground robot, a small unmanned aircraft, a Special Forces robotic exoskeleton and a host of other advanced technologies in an effort to combat terrorism around the world. The office identifies and develops cutting-edge counter terrorism technologies for the Defense Department, other federal agencies, state and local law enforcement and international partners. The Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO) was established in 1999 by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Spe- cial Operations/Low-Intensity Conflict. The CTTSO provides a forum for interagency and international users to identify and prioritize requirements and develop and deliver solutions through rapid prototyping.
