The document outlines a proposed framework for improving homeland security in response to the 2001 World Trade Center attack. The framework includes a Command and Control Centre, interception systems, city-based video surveillance, TETRA radio networks, geospatial technology, an ERP solution, and integrating existing national homeland security resources and incident support systems. It acknowledges that this ambitious plan is just the beginning and will require revisions, but a blueprint must start to transform homeland security and counter the growing threat of terrorism.

A Robust Counter Terrorism Mechanism
The attack on the World Trade Center in 2001 has been by
far the single most important event in the history of the
modern world and more so because it forced the world to
change its perception on the nature of organization, the
usage of technology, the responses, the consolidation of
activities and spread of mechanisms needed to thwart the
ever growing terrorism the world over.

10. National Homeland Security
Blueprint
The beginning of this grandiose plan set to have a
transformational impact on the Homeland Security
scenario of the country is yet to be made. The world’s
best buildings were a blueprint one day. A blueprint is
the first to crystallize our thoughts, it could take a large
number of revisions, nonetheless it has to start. Time
seems to be running out.
