  2. Strategic Objectives of Homeland Security • Prevent Terrorist Acts within the United States • Reduce America’s Vulnerability to Terrorism • Minimize the damage and recover from attacks that do occur

  3. Consequence Mgt. AntiTerrorism Four Pillars of Combatting Terrorism Deterrence Mitigate Effects Maritime Transportation System Incident Recovery Detect/Employ Countermeasures Counter- Terrorism Intelligence Support • Implement • Recovery Plans • Coordinate Post • Incident Support • Apply Lessons • Learned • Risk Mgt. Measures • Critical Asset Protection • Assessments • Maritime • Domain • Awareness • Flexible Threat-Based Response Regionalized Deployable

  4. Antiterrorism (AT) Definition: Defensive measures used to reduce the vulnerability of individuals and property to terrorism What should be the focus of AT Security Technology Efforts? • Intelligence (Maritime Domain Awareness) • Target hardening

  5. Focus of security technologies applied by TSA: • Prevention and vulnerability reduction • Access control for personnel/material • Assessment tools

  6. Access control for material (“Bin Laden in a Box”) : • Cargo Security Systems (Operation Safe Commerce) • Radiation Detection Devices Access control for personnel: • Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) • Passenger Security Systems (Synergy Projects)

  7. Transportation Vulnerability Assessment Management System (TVAMS) • Technical Support Working Group (Interagency) sponsored project • Will leverage off USN and DoD vulnerability management success • Initial effort consists of: • vulnerability management program and vulnerability data warehouse that includes all modes of transportation. • Integration of selected assessment reports, collection tools and normalize the management of all transportation vulnerabilities.
