Science and Technology Capability Roadmap for the Maritime Safety and Security Program

The Science and Technology Directorate's Maritime Safety and Security (MS&S) program develops and transitions technical capabilities that enhance U.S. Maritime Border Security. These technical capabilities will safeguard lawful trade and travel and help prevent illegal use of the maritime environment to transport illicit goods or people. To guide program development and investments over the next ten years (through 2032), MS&S worked with the Homeland Security Operational Analysis Center (HSOAC), operated by the RAND Corporation, to develop a program capability roadmap. The HSOAC team documented its work in a detailed report to MS&S; this document provides an overview of the roadmap.
