摘要

The accompanying report provides a framework for evaluating S&T developments through the lens of their national security implications. This framework allows analysts to assess postulated technologies using a multi- tiered filtering process. The process consists first of a determination of whether the technology qualifies as a 'weapon of mass effect,' a term for which a new definition is provided. The next step assesses whether the technology possesses various qualities that would make it particularly consequentiaL These include: reduced barriers to acquisition; system integration; novel delivery means; self-propagation; novel radical empowerment; mitigation of effects; and diverse applicability. To illustrate the framework, the report examines eight technologies/capabilities that were identified as potential WME: ultrafast laser technology; genetically-engineered pathogens; advanced laser isotope separation; electromagnetic interference micro-jammers; botnet technology; circuit board hacking; quantum computing; and 'E-bombs.' The analysis of these technologies identifies the factors that may drive or inhibit their development, as well as the drivers/counter-drivers that influence their attractiveness from an adversary's perspective.
