The
delineation of CBRNE threats; specifically Improvised
Explosive Devices (IEDs);
into domestic and international is a false one.
While IEDs may be more of a visible problem in troubled
areas like Afghanistan and Iraq, they are silent
sources of domestic threats. The mobility of training
programs, techniques and materials means that initiatives
originally intended for the ‘front-line’
can easily find their way to become domestic threats
(e.g. London & Madrid bombings). Aligning military
& civilian (domestic police) sources of intelligence,
something that currently is not being shared easily
will vastly improve counter-terrorism efforts.
AMITA is involved with aligning both domestic and
military sources of information of CBRNE threats
which enables the secure recording and sharing of
critical incident data amongst all partners - military,
civilian, Canadian or international.
