Social Network Analysis | Organizational Network Analysis

NSI conducted Social Network Analysis (SNA) and Organizational Network Analysis (ONA) for an ONR sponsored counter-narcotics and counter-trafficking program. The overarching focus for the effort was to explore and develop novel information processing techniques, use operational data, automate the process of turning counter-narcotics and counter-trafficking data into actionable information, provide an enhanced understanding of the situation, and automate tasking of assets for relevant interdiction missions. The operational environment was over a huge geographical region of interest containing lots of clutter and little signal, no target patterns that persist, and owning few organic sensors and tactical assets. NSI’s SNA/ONA automatically extracted and related entities from watch-log entries to the associated case or contact movement alert, resolving name variants as required.
