Description : The research goal in terms of adapting deterrence to emerging security challenges is the examination of deterrence in a complex spectrum incorporating state and non-state actors and development of a tested and validated assessment methodology. This broad-spectrum assessment methodology facilitated systemic and rigorous identification and analysis of adversaries and their courses of action (what an adversary may do, why, and how to confirm/deny), deterrence profile, options, and influence points (what works and what to avoid). Pre-selected students were expected to perform all duties assigned and by their deadlines.
