In 2008, based on the need of the Financial Services Sector, S&T began funding the DECIDE project. DECIDE is a software suite that significantly advances state-of-the-art critical infrastructure protection exercises.
The Defense Experimental Research (DETER) testbed project enables cybersecurity researchers to run experiments on a secure "virtual Internet." The testbed provides contained environments that allow researchers to safely test advanced defense mechanisms against "live" threats without endangering other research or the larger Internet. The project was originally jointly funded by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Science and Technology Directorate and the National Science Foundation.
FMD is a highly contagious dis-ease that can severely affect domestic and wild cloven-hoofed animals, including cattle, swine, sheep, goats, deer and buffalo. Protecting American livestock is critical to the country’s agricultural economy and preservation of food supplies.

NGFR is a five-year program that began in January 2015 but is part of a longer-term Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) commitment to envision and assist the responder of the future. From developing program requirements to testing prototypes, NGFR will continually engage first responders for input and feedback. NGFR’s cutting-edge technologies will improve emergency response time and accelerate decision-making, which means more lives can be saved.
