Summary The CORE LAB will work with TSWG to support the Department of State's Conflict and Stabilization Operations Bureau's efforts of standing up a capability that uses the analytical methodologies taught and researched in the Naval Postgraduate School's Defense Analysis Department. These methodologies include the use of temporal, geospatial, and social-network analysis. The CORE Lab has the ability to rapidly field a mobile education and training team (METT) to CSO Syria to provide the necessary education and training to operationalize the methodologies taught.
In addition to advanced analytical education and training, the project will address: 1) the processes of CSO's data storage and structuring; 2) incorporating disparate data sources and intelligence systems; 3) the use of field data collected using the Lighthouse suite of applications and; 4) integrating analytical tools and techniques introduced during the education and training component. At the end of the projects first year, CSO Syria learn will be expected to have the education, training, and tools to exploit data using the CORE Lab methodologies.
