National Strategy for Homeland Security
• Prevent terrorist attacks within the US
• Reduce vulnerability to terrorism
• Minimize damage and recover from attacks (if and when they occur)

Science and Technology forHomeland Security
“In the war against terrorism, America’s vast science and technology base provides us with a key advantage.”
— President George W. Bush
4
Science and Technology Priorities
• Strategies to combat WMD
• Radiological and nuclear countermeasures
• Biological agent detection, diagnostics, therapeutics, and forensics
• Social, behavioral, and economic aspects of combating terrorism
• Border entry/exit technologies

Private Sector Role
“The private sector has the expertise to develop and produce many of the technologies, devices, and systems needed for homeland security. The Federal government needs to find better ways to harness the energy, ingenuity, and investments of private entities for these purposes.”
— National Strategy for Homeland Security
