This constantly evolving threat requires U.S. military forces to adapt and respond more rapidly with modified tactics, technologies, and/or equipment. In response to this need for new technologies, the Rapid Reaction Technology Office (RRTO) was established in 2006 to develop technologies that can mature in 6 to 18 months for purposes of counterterrorism. Although RRTO appears to be successfully fulfilling its mission, the agency seeks to understand and address barriers to and opportunities for meeting future counterterrorism needs--including the need to accelerate the transition of technologies for counterterrorism with an eye to countering emerging and anticipated threats. This book reviews RRTO approaches and provides a set of recommendations for potential improvements to help meet these needs for rapid technology development"--Publisher's description.TerrorismPreventionTechnological innovationsInsurgencyPreventionTechnological innovationsTerrorismPreventionTechnological innovations.InsurgencyPreventionTechnological innovations.363.325National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on Experimentation and Rapid Protoyping in Support of Counterterrorism.National Research Council (U.S.).Division on Engineering and Physical Sciences.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910810214703321Experimentation and rapid prototyping in support of counterterrorism4004554UNINA
