Motivation and Intent Program
Violent Intent Modeling and Simulation Project
Project Overview: The S&T Directorate Human Factors Behavior Sciences Division Violent Intent Modeling and Simulation project develops intelligence analysis frameworks, including extraction of terrorist intention signatures, systematic estimation of future terrorist behavior based on social and behavioral sciences, and modeling and simulations of future terrorist behavior influences. It identifies leading-edge social science modeling and simulation technologies and advances social science modeling and data fusion capabilities in such areas as hybrids of neural nets, structural equations, genetic algorithms, social networks, etc.
Suspicious Behavior Detection Program
Hostile Intent Detection — Validation Project
Project Overview: Validation project provides cross-cultural validation of behavioral indicators employed by DHS's operational components to screen passengers at air, land and maritime ports. The project will integrate these validated behavioral indicators into the screening curriculum of each component's existing training program.
Hostile Intent Detection — Automated Prototype Project
Project Overview: Automated Prototype project demonstrates real-time automated intent detection using non-invasive and culturally neutral behavioral indicators. S&T will transition the automated hostile intent prototype to the Transportation Security Administration, Customs and Border Protection, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Hostile Intent Detection — Training & Simulation Project
Project Overview: Training and Simulation project develops computer-based simulation to train behavior-based, stand-off detection for future hostile intent using indicators from the interactive screening environment (Hostile Intent Detection — Automated Prototype) and the observational environment (Hostile Intent Detection — Validation) to support screening and interviewing interactions at air, land and maritime portals.
Insider Threat Detection Project
Project Overview: The S&T Directorate Human Factors Behavior Sciences Division Insider Threat Detection project will detect insider behavior that is likely to present or lead to a threat to critical infrastructure using behavioral indicators. DHS will collaborate with other U.S. agencies and international partners to move beyond the current focus on responses to accomplished hostile insider acts, and begin developing a greater capacity to deter and detect insider threats before substantial harm has been done. The immediate operational goal is to produce new and better tools to identify behavior patterns and characteristics before, during and after employment that are associated with insider threats.
