Abstract:

The Department of Homeland Security's most urgent task is to develop an international science and technology strategy to improve the coherence of DHS foreign efforts, including the sharing of critical homeland security technologies. The DHS also needs to establish a clearinghouse of existing technologies that describes the technologies, their capabilities, and their possible missions.
