An example of such a novel threat is the use of cruise missiles or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by terrorist groups or other asymmetric actors to attack homeland targets. Individual threats cannot be assessed in isolation, however, since adversaries always have many options for staging attacks. To examine the threat of UAVs and cruise missiles, RAND utilized a "red analysis of alternatives" approach, wherein the benefits, costs, and risks of different options are considered from the point of view of a potential adversary. 606 $aDrone aircraft 606 $aCruise missiles 606 $aAir defenses$zUnited States 606 $aTerrorism$xPrevention 615 0$aDrone aircraft. 615 0$aCruise missiles. 615 0$aAir defenses 615 0$aTerrorism$xPrevention. 676 $a363.325 701 $aJackson$b Brian A.$f1972-$0846031 712 02$aUnited States.$bDefense Threat Reduction Agency. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220159703321 996 $aEvaluating novel threats to the homeland$91964919 997 $aUNINA
