Members of CTC’s Technology Protection and Management Office (TPMO)

were invited contributors of a paper to the National Defense Intelligence College (NDIC) Foundation.  CTC employees who authored the article are Ryan Averbeck, Greg Gaddy, PhD., Stan Koryta, and Tim Lowman.  The

peer-reviewed article, "The Need for Increased Intelligence Community Participation in Research and Technology Protection," has been published

by the Defense Intelligence Journal (DIJ) as an occasional paper, the online format of the publication. (The DIJ will change its name to National Intelligence Journal later this year.) 

CTC’s TPMO has been asked to contribute another article outlining the role counterintelligence plays in Research and Technology Protection in the inaugural issue of the National Intelligence Journal later this year.  According to Charlotte Gallagher, Publisher/Managing Editor, “We are a respected academic publication with a longstanding reputation for delivering the best new ideas in a well-researched format.  I not only invited, but encouraged Dr. Gaddy and the rest of the TMPO to write a second article about technology protection because they have an exciting, unique perspective on the topic, and they have something significant to share with our national audience.”

Paper Abstract:

The United States has achieved crucial military, economic, and technological advantages as a direct result of substantial investment in Research and Development (R&D).  In order to deny other nations and organizations comparable or superior capabilities, these achievements must be protected.  This article provides an overview of the current Department of Defense (DoD) Research and Technology Protection (RTP) methodology and some insights into evolving RTP methodologies in which the role of intelligence is highlighted.
