Is NIST involved in other homeland security activities?
NIST has had a long and productive history of supporting national security. NIST’s measurements and standards provided crucial support for the development of radar, nuclear weapons, aircraft instruments, and other key technologies that helped the United States succeed in past conflicts. Now NIST provides support for technologies to help win the war on terrorism and protect our homeland. In addition, NIST responded to the immediate aftermath of the terrorist attacks in 2001 and is supporting the technologies that will help prevent or minimize future threats.
