The fundamental threat to American security in the 21st century lies not in conventional warfare against a rival national power, but in the nexus of global terrorist networks, weapons of mass destruction, and rogue states. The enemy of today derives its power not from the size and strength of its military, but from its diffuse structure, elusiveness, and adaptability.
Effectively countering this new enemy requires a shift in strategy and tactics to focus on the “human terrain” – the territory that Aptima knows best. Our unique and innovative approach couples social science principles with rigorous quantitative, computational methods to provide our customers with enhanced capabilities to optimize the Blue layer, defeat the Red layer, and influence the Green layer.
Aptima provides collaborative decision support systems, adversarial models, threat prediction tools and training technology to the intelligence community and information operations agencies. Customers use our technology to:
- Understand, penetrate, and disrupt the structure of terrorist organizations using computational models of the web of relationships that tie these networks together and allow them to learn, adapt, and coordinate
- Understand the culture and values of the civilian populations in which terrorist networks are embedded
- Rapidly develop the knowledge and analytical skills of U.S. human resources for intelligence collection and analysis
- Effectively collaborate across agencies and international borders using technological infrastructure and innovative organizational structures
- Provide consequence management training that reaches across the borders of the security community to coordinate with first responders, health care providers, and state and local governments
Examples of our work:
Terrorist Network Multi-Modeling
Organizational network analysis tools and collaborative infrastructure to help intelligence and policy analysts identify, understand, monitor, and disable evolving terrorist networks
MILDEC Assistant
Building an automated decision support tool for tactical deception planning
Anticipatory, Culture-based Modeling
For DARPA, forecasted the likelihood of hostile activity and violent conflict by groups within nation states <more>
Data Translation, Extraction, and Correlation
Evaluating technology that enables English-speaking warfighters to analyze all information (foreign and English-language text & speech) in a timely manner
Visualization of Threats in Urban Environments
Helped determine when conditions are right for emergence of sudden, nonlinear events, and the likely consequence of hypothetical actions <more>
