Zusammenfassung:Advanced technologies, including pulsed power, play a vital role in preserving domestic and international security while working to counter terrorism. However, technology is not a universal sword and shield against terrorism. Technical countermeasures to terrorist activities must be cost effective and applied with some wisdom about terrorist objectives. The following paper features insightful perspectives on terrorism and terrorist organizations. The role of science and technology, as a tool against terrorism, is also discussed and examples of applied pulsed power technology are presented.
