Evaluating novel threats to the homeland : unmanned aerial vehicles and cruise missiles / Brian A. Jackson ... [et al.]. 1st ed. Santa Monica, CA : RAND National Defense Research Institute, 2008. 1 online resource (xxii, 106 pages) : illustrations, map. text txt computer c online resource cr Cover; Preface; Contents; Figures; Tables; Summary; Acknowledgments; Abbreviations; Chapter One - Introduction; Chapter Two - UAVs and Cruise Missiles as Asymmetric Threats: How Do These Systems Compare with Alternative Attack Modes?; Chapter Three - What Adversary Operational Problems Can UAVs and Cruise Missiles Best Solve and How Do UAVsand Cruise Missiles Compare with Alternative Solutions?; Chapter Four - What Are the Terrorist Group Characteristics and Preferences Relevant to the Acquisition and Useof Technology?; Chapter Five - Considering Defensive Strategies and Options Chapter Six - ConclusionsBibliography Changes in technology and adversary behavior will invariably produce new threats that must be assessed by defense and homeland security planners, and a decision must be made about whether they merit changes in current defenses or the development of new defensive approaches. An example of such a novel threat is the use of cruise missiles or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) by terrorist groups or other asymmetric actors to attack homeland targets. Individual threats cannot be assessed in isolation, however, since adversaries always have many options for staging attacks. To examine the threat of UAVs and cruise missiles, RAND utilized a "red analysis of alternatives" approach, wherein the benefits, costs, and risks of different options are considered from the point of view of a potential adversary.
