ARLINGTON INSTITUTE HELPS SINGAPORE DEVELOP THREAT WARNING SYSTEM<\/span><\/p>\n

The government of Singapore has developed a national security system called RAHS (Risk Assessment and Horizon Scanning) to spot potential threats to national security while they’re still manageable. John L. Petersen, founder and president of the Virginia-based Arlington Institute, served as the concept architect for the system.<\/p>\n

“One of the most remarkable aspects in human history is the continuity of strategic surprises and resulting shocks to nations,” says Petersen. “The cause of these shocks is almost always the inability of government to identify early indicators of change and share the information internally. Through collaboration, RAHS will be able to detect signals and analyze potential threat patterns which otherwise would have gone unnoticed.”<\/p>\n

A working version of the RAHS system was unveiled to invited practitioners, academics, technologists, and futurists at the inaugural two-day International RAHS symposium in March in Singapore.<\/p>\n
