  • Protecting civil society from terrorism: the search for a sustainable strategy
    Technology in Society, 2004
    Co-Authors: Lewis M. Branscomb
    Abstract:

    Abstract The threat of terrorism is very different from Conventional War. Terrorism challenges the structures of national, state, and municipal governments and their relationships. Confronting terrorism requires compromises between maximizing competitiveness in the critical infrastructure industry and restoring the industry’s resilience. Responsibility for addressing these issues is diffuse and poorly specified in American society. But most critical is the development of a strategy to reduce the threat and consequence of catastrophic terrorism while protecting civil liberties—all in a strategy that is sustainable over periods of time when no attacks have occurred. The beginning of such a strategy is proposed.

  • Technology Options to Leverage Aerospace Power in Operations Other Than Conventional War. Volume 1: Summary
    2000
    Co-Authors: Jesse Mcmahan, Peter R Worch, Matthew W. Ganz, Ronald P. Fuchs, George B Harrison
    Abstract:

    Abstract : The 1999 Air Force Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) Summer Study focused on potential future environments that may involve the Air Force in Operations Other Than Conventional Warfare (OOTCW). The SAB was asked to provide technology options that could leverage the application of aerospace power in such operations.The outcome of the study was a set of technology options to apply aerospace power to fight and win in the increasingly unConventional conflict environment. The team was to look at concepts, ideas and technologies that would allow United States forces to prevail while minimizing the number of airmen and ground troops that would have to be put at risk in OOTCW.The study considered the past and potential future OOTCW environments and considered operations from humanitarian relief (HUMRO), noncombatant evacuation (NEO), peacekeeping, and no-fly zone maintenance, through regional conflict. The upper range of operations for the study, regional conflict, was understood to be just short of the very significant level of conflict encountered in Kosovo. While the study did not in general emphasize the lower-intensity operations (HUMRO and NEO), it did become clear early on that such peacetime operations have significant operational tempo impacts. The study attempted to define these impacts and to offer mitigation ideas.

  • From pseudo‐terrorists to pseudo‐guerillas: the MNR in Mozambique
    Review of African Political Economy, 1993
    Co-Authors: Anders Nilsson
    Abstract:

    The War in Mozambique has few similarities with any other historically known Conventional War. It belongs to specific category which could be called Wars of destabilisation. This has a bearing on the peace process which will exhibit various features which will distinguish it from normal patterns of ending Wars. This article has two parts: the first outlines the history and the guiding military concepts of Renamo (Resistencia Nacional Mocambicana, MNR) and relates the War of destabilisation against Mozambique; the second analyses destabilisation as a specific kind of War and identifies the role of the pseudo‐guerilla MNR in this War of destabilisation.
