Sandia is an acknowledged authority in providing systemic solutions to protecting military forces and their assets, both on bases and on the move.
We first define the mission, function, or asset to be protected, identify threat scenarios and their outcomes, and perform vulnerability assessments. Using findings, we then develop a layered defensive system.
For example, we are helping the military reduce vulnerability to deadly explosives attacks by analyzing the problem as an end-to-end system. In other words, we examine the entire chain of events that leads to a suicide bomb attack, from the time an adversary conceives the plan until the attack occurs.
