While the threat posed by a conventional terrorist attack (suicide bomb, active shooter, etc.) is still significant, the risk a bad actor takes in carrying out an attack is also significant. However, the risks a bad actor takes in exploiting the IoT is significantly lower than the risk associated with conventional terrorist attacks. This is… -
Modern technological advances are significantly improving the operational capabilities of the power grid in the United States, and some of these advancements could be applied to existing infrastructure. Small scale implementation on surfaces such as sidewalks, bike paths, parking lots and neighborhood roads would provide a better idea of solar road capabilities. To gauge large… -
Challenging technical problems that are beyond the scope of a basic inquiry (i.e., require more than 4 hours of research) can be solved by initiating a Core Analysis Task (CAT). CATs are separately funded work efforts over and above basic HDIAC products and services. Through the CAT program, the HDIAC can be utilized as a… -
