BACKGROUND:

The U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM) Army Security Office (ASO) Army Research and Technology Protection Center (ARTPC) Support Services has initiated this effort to provide support in the development of security-related documentation to include Science & Technology Protection Plans (S&T PP) and Program Protection Plans (PPPs), critical technology reviews, and threat/mitigation plans that utilize a systematic approach to technology protection, intelligence analysis, and multi-discipline security specialist support to provide risk mitigation across the Army to protect Army personnel, facilities, infrastructure, networks, and national security information. The United States research laboratories, engineering centers, and defense industrial base are developing the advanced technology that will form the heart of the Army’s future fighting force. Foreign Governments and companies that both use and sell military systems will go to great lengths to acquire the advanced technologies that dominate future warfare.

When foreign Governments and companies illegally acquire knowledge of the U.S. advanced technologies, it is also essential that the Army understand the effect of that compromise.
