RESEARCH CLUSTER
Strategic Technologies, Modelling & Net Assessment
The cluster for Strategic Technologies, Modelling and Net Assessment focuses on practical and operational problems confronting security agencies and develops models of decision making and controlled simulation to address them. It uses various techniques of social science research and a multidisciplinary approach for developing these models. The cluster also addresses issues related to various emerging military technologies with special focus on Space Technologies.
The cluster brings out the CBW Magazine, a quarterly first published in November 2007. The magazine covers a wide range of issues related to Chemical and Biological Weapons.
