Defense Science Study Group 1998-1999 Volume 1: Papers 1-13

摘要

The Defense Science Study Group (DSSG) is sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and managed by the Institute for Defense Analyses (IDA). Its purpose is to expose some of the most talented scientists and engineers from academia to issues related to national security, thereby providing the Government with a new source of technical advisors and informed critics. Individuals spend about 20 days per year for 2 years receiving briefings by distinguished speakers; visiting laboratories, intelligence organizations, and military, manufacturing, and industrial facilities; and conducting studies on defense-related topics. This report is a compilation of the studies prepared by the members. Topics include the following: Nanotechnology and the Department of Defense Military Applications of Sensor Networks Formation of a National Entity for Information Infrastructure Protection Exploiting Market Realities To Address National Security's High- Performance Computing Needs Limits of Performance for Distributed, Robotic Combat Vehicles Evolving Autonomy: A Strategy for Development of Unmanned Vehicle Systems Smart Materials Technology for the 21st Century-The Future of Modeling and Design Tools The Fingerprint of Conflict, War, and Displacement: How Indelible Is It. Subtle Biological Weapons Detection of Biological Warfare Agents Multi-Dimensional Evaluation of Biological Sensors for Force Protection Chemical Weapons of Terror-A Call for Immediate Industrial Self-Regulation An Overview of Scientific Integration of Chemical Warfare in the DoD.
