National Urban Security Technology Laboratory (NUSTL) New York Area Science and Technology (NYAST) Forum

Managed and hosted by the Science and Technology Directorate's National Urban Security Technology Laboratory (NUSTL), the New York Area Science and Technology Forum (NYAST) is a consortium of federal, state and local government organizations, first responders, academia and private sector groups that regularly meet to promote and discuss advances in science and technology applications. The quarterly NYAST topical meetings provide an opportunity for the diverse membership to interact and develop contacts across the homeland security community. NYAST provides a unique opportunity to gather valuable feedback from field operators, and to draw out their most pressing issues and needs in homeland security.
