Abstract
The nature and type of conflicts drastically changed in the last half of the twentieth century. Wars are no longer limited to the field; they are supplemented with guerrilla warfare and other asymmetric warfare tactics including domestic terrorism. Domestic terrorism has demonstrated a need for improved homeland security capabilities. Establishing and maintaining the understanding of the key players and the underlying social networks is essential to combating asynchronous warfare tactics. Herein, we identify the key challenges addressed by our Collection/Exploitation Decision System (CEDS) that assist analysts in maintaining an up-to-date understanding of dynamic human networks.
