Overview

Black and White Terror networks are enlarging their labyrinths by embracing transnational criminal organizations, engaging in lawfare and economic warfare, and using social and traditional media to amplify their messages. At the same time, resources that were previously available to counter these irregular adversaries are being reduced or reallocated to address other national security threats. The Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office (CTTSO) and its programs have existed for almost 30 years rapidly developing the capabilities needed by the combating terrorism community to execute its missions. Elements charged with combating terrorism will need to increase their efforts to coordinate tactics, techniques, procedures, and technologies to reduce the impact of decreased resources. Increased use of working groups, exercises, and other collaborations are approaches that could assist. CTTSO interagency membership has expanded significantly since 2001. While the number of active projects has remained level, the end user participation on each project has dramatically increased leading to a wider dissemination of successful capabilities.At the same time, CTTSO has expanded its avenues for the rapid development of capabilities. Prior innovative approaches to solving the requirements of operators in the field are becoming commonplace at CTTSO. By using commercial crowdsourcing pathways, prizes, and challenges, Small Business Innovation Research, the Rapid Innovation Fund, partners like In-Q-Tel, and traditional Broad Agency Announcements, CTTSO customers can gain access to possible game-changing and more cost effective solutions that were previously unavailable to government programs.CTTSO strives to ensure the delivery of improved capabilities to our armed forces, law enforcement, and other first responders in an efficient manner, now and in the future.
