GOALS

The objectives of TACTICS are to identify, research and develop tools, technologies and
methods to improve the effectiveness of security forces in preventing and dealing with an urban
attack, while taking fully into account legal requirements and democratic and ethical principles.

The Scientific and Technical goals of TACTICS are:

1. Improving the threat decomposition process
2. Improving the capability management process
3. Supporting the threat management process
4. Developing a three-levelled facilitation approach
5. Implementing legal requirements, democratic and ethical principles into the research and development process within TACTICS

TACTICS will support each of these managers in responding more quickly and in a more structured, efficient way to a specific threat by delivering a Powerful TACTICS Decision Support System that supports the prevention of threats and/or minimises the consequences of a terrorist attack in an urban environment.
