Capabilities
The Global Security Program builds on its core competencies to develop exportable technologies and to integrate both commercial and custom technologies into operational monitoring systems. This technical foundation enables the Global Security Program to develop both methodologies and training courses to strengthen the implementation of both security and safeguards systems around the world. Accessible meeting, testing and training facilities also enable international cooperation.
