| This thesis evaluates the ability of the Xpress-MP software package to solve complex, iterative mathematical-programming problems. The impetus is the need to improve solution times for the VEGA software package, which identifies vulnerabilities to terrorist attacks in electric power grids. VEGA employs an iterative, optimizing heuristic, which may need to solve hundreds of related linear programs. This heuristic has been implemented in GAMS (General Algebraic Modeling System), whose inefficiencies in ... |

| Warfighters are increasingly relying on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) systems at all levels of combat operations. As these systems weave further into the fabric of our tactics and doctrine, their loss will seriously diminish combat effectiveness. This makes the survivability of these systems of utmost importance. Using Agent-based modeling and a Nearly Orthogonal Latin Hypercube design of experiment, numerous factors and levels are explored to gain insight into their impact ... |

| We present the design and implementation of an artificial neural network (ANN) system of multi-layer perceptron classifiers to detect suspicious TCP traffic at a single packet level. The advantage to using ANNs for the detection of attacks is that they do not only rely on attack signatures, as in many common signature-based IDSs. Rather they are capable of learning broader definitions of attack attributes. The use of ANNs in this ... |

| Traditional intrusion detection systems (IDSs) focus on low-level attacks or anomalies, and raise alerts independently, though there may be logical connections between them. In situations where there are intensive attacks, not only will actual alerts be mixed with false alerts, but the amount of alerts will also become unmanageable. As a result, it is difficult for human users or intrusion response systems to understand the alerts and take appropriate actions. ... |

| Information in the battlespace provides decisive power. It is imperative that critical information is brought to the forefront to enhance decision-making. An accurate model of a tactical operation will improve a commander s battlespace awareness. One vital piece of information is terrain control.

Recently, the concept of 'Integrated Capability Sets' (or Mission Capability Packages as they are also known) has gained momentum as a way of viewing, discussing and analyzing the totality of Defence capability. Integration is generally seen as being a positive thing to apply to capabilities. However, little is recorded about what form of integration ... |

| As the technology associated with Non-Lethal Weapons (NLWs) continues to mature there will be growing pressure to use NLWs in future combat operations. However, the use of NLWs in decisive combat operations provides little operational benefit and would likely increase overall risk to mission accomplishment. While the use of NLWs is appropriate at the lower end of the conflict spectrum, the use of NLWs in decisive combat operations would produce ... |

| The U.S. military of today is increasingly dependent on highly integrated, complex C2 systems at all levels of command. These complexities have the potential to cause a break down of C2 required by the operational commander. C2 failures become possible if supportive satellite systems are compromised by threats of natural means, rogue states, or non-state actors. Military commanders and systems dependent on satellite information, data, and processes must have alternative ... |

| Space power enables the modern American way of war. Counterspace operations allow the joint force to exploit space capabilities while negating an adversary's ability to do the same. Combatant Commanders are not yet effectively integrating counterspace operations into operational planning and execution. This failure is primarily due to classification and command and control issues and an inability of their staffs to maintain pace with recent advances in counterspace capabilities and ... |

The Phalcon Airborne Warning and Control System, Su-30MKI fighter-bomber aircraft, and S-300PMU surface-to-air missile system are some examples of the new capabilities India is acquiring. I argue that if India continues its military modernization, Pakistan will become more insecure. The increase in the conventional ... |

| A capabilities-based approach to contingency planning offers important opportunities to strengthen both Homeland Defense and Homeland Security. The Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have already begun moving beyond traditional threat-based and scenario-based planning methodologies toward a more capabilities based approach, but require embracing this concept more in order to counter challenges in developing contingency plans against current threats to the US Homeland. Additionally, given ... |
