PROVIDENCE TERRORISM AND NATIONAL SECURITY MANAGEMENT SERVICES

(PTNSMS)

National Security &
Terrorism

Providence conducts a broad array of national security research for the U.S. Department of Defense and allied ministries of defense. Our federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs) explore threat assessment, military acquisition, technology, recruitment and personnel management, counterinsurgency, intelligence, and readiness. PTNSMS is a world leader in terrorism research. Studies address such topics as terrorism financing and strategies to undermine violent extremism.

​

The Escalation Fixation

​

Fears of global nuclear annihilation should have produced a concerted effort by all sides to keep the Ukraine conflict limited. But the focus on escalation—rather than ensuring Russia's defeat—has instead made the international security picture more precarious.
