There is an expression often used by military historians that says, Know thy enemy. One reason to adhere to such an adage is that knowing your enemys philosophy, capabilities, habits, fears, strengths, and more allows one to better design appropriate defenses and preventative measures. This tenet is not always well-considered or remembered, however. For this unit, you will think like an adversary of the United States. At the same time, you will consider and describe (or perhaps invent) technological concepts and constructs similar to those employed by the U.S. to include communication networks, fusion centers, a viable information sharing environment, and other technologies possibly used in creative ways. (An example is using a cell phone as a remote detonating device for an improvised explosive device (IED).) You may also describe technologies not known in current use, but these choices must have some citable basis in reality. Make such descriptions persuasive if you elect to use these.
