Book excerpt: The ninth of a new, well-received, and highly acclaimed series on critical infrastructure and homeland security, Defense Industrial Base Protection and Homeland Security is an eye-opening account and an important reference describing a complex sector. This book was designed and written to serve and advise U.S. project designers, engineers, law enforcement and security specialists, building and grounds superintendents, and managers in charge of protecting critical infrastructure in the United States. Defense Industrial Base Protection and Homeland Security discusses the elements comprising the defense industrial base sector, many of the security measures employed to protect the various entities involved, and provides guidance on improving the resilience of the defense industrial base infrastructure. This text is accessible to those who have no experience with or knowledge of the defense industrial base sector. If you work through the text systematically, you will gain an understanding of the challenge of domestic preparedness—that is, an immediate need for a heightened state of awareness of the present threat facing the defense industrial base sector members as potential terrorist targets. Moreover, you will gain knowledge of security principles and measures that can be implemented—adding a critical component not only to your professional knowledge but also give you the tools needed to combat terrorism in the homeland—our homeland, both by outsiders and insiders.

This book was released on 2018-07-11 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A compelling overview of systems and strategies implemented to safeguard U.S. resources from a plethora of threats, the vulnerabilities and security gaps in these infrastructure systems, and options to enable the future security of the homeland. Since the first edition of this book was published in 2009, significant changes have occurred in the security landscape, both domestically and internationally. This second edition is thoroughly updated to reflect those changes, offering a complete review of the various security and resilience measures currently in place and potential strategies to safeguard life and property within the U.S. homeland. As noted in the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's National Preparedness Goal, the mission area of protection is vital to the homeland in its focus on actions to protect people, vital interests, and our nation's way of life. With that in mind, this book discusses strategies such as risk analysis and assessment, information sharing, and continuity planning. The authors focus on relevant and timely threats and hazards facing specific infrastructure components including, but not limited to, agriculture and food, banking and finance, water, energy, telecommunications, and transportation. The dynamic posture of critical infrastructure security and resilience (CISR) underscores the importance of an integrated, layered all-hazards approach. In describing this approach, the book includes new chapters on planning and guidance, public and private partnerships, cyber issues and threats, and careers in infrastructure protection. Additions such as discussion questions, learning objectives, and fundamental concepts for each chapter provide additional direction for instructors and students alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The U.S. capability in conventional warfare is unmatched by any other state for now and the immediate future. However, various types of challenges have arisen that may not threaten the existence of the U.S. but may prove sufficiently challenging to justify serious consideration and planning to mitigate the effect on U.S. interests. In the future, the DoD must anticipate stressing wars. The purpose of this study is to: Review previous and ongoing studies regarding stressing wars; Identify parameters for challenges to military operations (e.g., physical size, population, technological prowess, and denial and deception); Assess capability gaps; and Identify possible solutions, including technological, operational, and policy oriented solutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem confronting The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of Defense (DoD), and America's private sector is how to collectively protect the nation s critical infrastructure. The challenge for the DHS is in motivating partnerships across the public, private, and DoD domains, each with different organizational and cultural objectives governed under a federalist system. The relevance of this problem lies in the vulnerability of America s economic and military foundations to terrorist attacks or a catastrophic natural disaster. Research conducted of the regulated energy and water industries indicates federal standards can be effectively established across the public-private domains. The establishment of federal tax and insurance incentives, limiting corporate liability, and developing industry standards may motivate increased security and circumvent excessive federal mandates. The conduct of partnering is scrutinized via personal interviews to determine if the recommendation to build security partnerships with federal guidance is sufficient to secure critical infrastructure. The implementation of a dual-purpose strategy is recommended to further enhance the efficiency of security partnerships. This thesis suggests the DHS must develop an innovative CIP policy and utilize the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) as the vehicle to integrate and synchronize the actions of all security partners.

Book excerpt: At a moment of historic highs in defense spending, there is growing concern about the future of American defense industry as well as the national security industrial and scientific base more generally. As we explore the needs and future of the defense industrial base it is important to recognize that there is no one silver bullet solution to the challenges that range from how to manage an austere defense budget environment to how to solve long-term trends in fields that may not seem directly linked, but are foundational, like STEM education. Even more, it is important to recognize that there are many questions that remain open in a sense, requiring greater study and analysis. These include: what is the range of probable levels of future American defense spending in the coming years, as well as the likely resources available for weapons acquisition? What apportionment of acquisition resources between procurement, on the one hand, and research, development, testing and evaluation on the other makes sense, and should the structure of contracts be changed to strengthen one process or the other? How can key innovation and design-team capabilities be retained even in an era of fewer new key program starts? How can industry-Pentagon dialogue, now probably too constrained, be best promoted in a manner consistent with tight ethics restrictions? Which specific areas of technological capability might require protection so that at least one to two key American suppliers remain? Relatedly, how can the defense industry subcontractor base be kept viable, including at the small-business level? Which export control reforms are needed? How can defense workforce excellence be retained, in terms of STEM competence, military experience, and financial and organizational acumen, as a key generation of workers and leaders retires in the coming years? Throughout the process, American planners should remember that winning wars takes first and foremost great troopers, as well as excellent strategists to guide their operations and employment. But it also takes outstanding equipment and technology. We should neither lose sight of this fact nor consider the high quality of U.S. weaponry a God-given birthright of the American people and their men and women in arms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The US and international defense industrial sectors have faced many challenges over the last twenty years, including cycles of growth and shrinkage in defense budgets, shifts in strategic defense priorities, and macroeconomic volatility. In the current environment, the defense sector faces a combination of these challenges and must struggle with the need to maintain critical aspects of the defense industrial base as defense priorities change and as defense budgets reduce or plateau. Moreover, the defense sector in the US is interconnected both with defense sectors in other countries and with other industry sectors in the US and global economies. As a result, strategic decisions made in one defense sector impact the defense sectors of other countries, as well as other areas of the economy. Given her academic, corporate, and Department of Defense experience as a leading economist and policy-maker, Dr. Nayantara Hensel is perfectly positioned to examine the interrelationship between these forces both historically and in the current environment, and to assess the implications for the future global defense industrial base.
