This book is the product of a study conducted in cooperation with the Center for Nonproliferation Studies of the National Defense University. It identifed several user groups, including Medical, Emergency Management/Public Safety, and Senior Policy, and worked through a scenario of biological terrorism with them. They included medical doctors, epidemiologists, military experts, emergency services personnel, law enforcement, a former Governor and member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, among a number of others. They identified their needs to managem the crisis represented by the deliberate release of a pathogen, and mitigate its consequences. Then they were offered various developmental technologies, and asked to prioritize what would assist them in accomplishing their duties. The study found that real world users do not have appropriate technology to adequately manage a biological terrorism event; that existing technologies will not be sufficient to remedy this unpreparedness even if they were deployed in numbers; but that developmental technologies exist that address almost all of the key concerns identified by our panels of operator experts. Leading technologiest were consulted in the preparration of this study, and descriptions of a number of relevant approaches are included in the book. The results are being briefed to Congress, the news media, the responder community, and others.
