6 Maritime Domain Awareness * From Carvalho April 21 6
7 Statement of the Problem Minimize the likelihood that the transient and multinational nature of merchant vessel crewing can be leveraged as a means for international terrorist organizations to smuggle personnel and material into target countries Develop a model to suggest an individual crewmember s terrorist affiliation given his close relations, group membership, communications, and background 7

9 Project Overview Iterative spiral of development Open-source data sparse Draft/Update Model Three iterations Analyze & Review Review Literature Case Study Set Model Parameters 9
10 Literature Review Yang, et. al. Coffman, et. al. Dombrosky, et. al. Arizona State University Krebs Wagenhals, et. al. Moon, et. al. Sageman Social network from weblog data Social network via pattern analysis Hierarchical Bayesian influence network Dark Web Project Terrorist network topology Timed influence nets for population interaction Network evolution over time Psychology of Terrorists 1
11 Hypothesis Given that terrorist organizations are persistently looking for new ways to deliver personnel and material into target countries, profiling personnel with opportunity to arrive in western ports under legitimate pretences presents prospects to identify these individuals prior to their arrival. An individual crewmember s terrorist affiliation can be estimated given his close relations, group associations, communications, and background influences 11
