Securing Critical Infrastructure: Insights from the DHS Science and Technology Directorate
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) plays a pivotal role in protecting and enhancing the nation’s essential systems, such as transportation, energy, and water supply.
Identifying Vulnerabilities and Rapid Recovery
DHS S&T collaborates with infrastructure owners, operators, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to pinpoint potential vulnerabilities in our critical infrastructure. By partnering with national labs, universities, and private industry, they are developing innovative solutions to bolster infrastructure resilience against threats like flooding, explosive blasts, and solar storms.
Enhancing Critical Elements
S&T projects focus on key infrastructure components crucial for daily operations:
Bridges and Tunnels: Vital for transportation and commerce.
Energy: Ensuring a reliable power supply.
Drinking Water: Securing clean water sources.
Disaster Response: Improving response capabilities to natural and man-made disasters.
Global Positioning System (GPS): Protecting GPS signals critical for accurate navigation and timing.
Solar Storm Mitigation and Recovery Transformer (RecX)
Solar storms pose a significant risk to power grids. S&T’s efforts in solar storm mitigation aim to protect and prepare for such events. Additionally, the development of the Recovery Transformer (RecX) is crucial for quickly restoring power following disruptions, given the challenges in transporting and procuring extra high voltage transformers.
