It is a premise of this research that prevention of near-term terrorist attacks requires an understanding of current terrorist organizations to include their composition, the actors involved, and how they operate to achieve their objectives. To aid in this understanding, operations research, sociological, and behavioral theory relevant to the study of social networks are applied, thereby providing theoretical foundations for new and useful methodologies to analyze non-cooperative organizations. Such organizations are defined as those trying to hide their structures or are unwilling to provide information regarding their operations; examples include criminal networks, secret societies, and, most importantly, clandestine terrorist organizations.

520 $a It is a premise of this research that prevention of near-term terrorist attacks requires an understanding of current terrorist organizations to include their composition, the actors involved, and how they operate to achieve their objectives. To aid in this understanding, operations research, sociological, and behavioral theory relevant to the study of social networks are applied, thereby providing theoretical foundations for new and useful methodologies to analyze non-cooperative organizations. Such organizations are defined as those trying to hide their structures or are unwilling to provide information regarding their operations; examples include criminal networks, secret societies, and, most importantly, clandestine terrorist organizations.
520 $a Techniques leveraging information regarding multiple dimensions of interpersonal relationships, inferring from them the strengths of interpersonal ties, are explored. Hence, a layered network construct is offered that provides new analytic opportunities and insights generally unaccounted for in traditional social network analysis. These offer decision makers improved courses of action designed to impute influence upon an adversarial network, thereby achieving a desired influence, perception, or outcome to one or more actors within the target network. In addition, this knowledge can also be used to identify key individuals, relationships, and organizational practices. Subsequently, such analysis may lead to the identification of weaknesses that can be exploited in an endeavor to either eliminate the network as a whole, cause it to become operationally ineffective, or influence it to directly or indirectly support National Security Strategy.
520 $a In today's world, proficiency in this aspect of warfare is a necessary condition to ensure United States National Security, as well as to promote and maintain global stability. Quantitative methods serving as the basis for, and discriminator between, courses of action seeking a path towards peace are a principal output of this research.
