US Department of Defense journal article on super-recognisers
With David Robertson (University of Strathclyde) I am very pleased to have an article published in the US Homeland Defense and Security Information Analysis Center (HDIAC) journal.

Davis, J. P., & Robertson, D. (2020). Capitalizing on the super-recognition advantage: A powerful, but underutilized, tool for policing and national security agencies. Journal of the Homeland Defense & Security Information Analysis Center, 7(1), 20-25. https://www.hdiac.org/journal-issue/operational-energy-powering-military-operations-to-achieve-national-defense-strategy-objectives/
HDIAC is one of three Department of Defense Information Analysis Centers. HDIAC is responsible for acquiring, analyzing, and disseminating relevant scientific and technical information – in each of its eight technical focus areas – in support of the DoD and U.S. government Research & Development activities. Those areas are: -
· Homeland Defense and Security (HD)
· Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP)
· Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)
· Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defense (CBRN)
· Biometrics (BIO)
· Medical (MED)
· Cultural Studies (CS)
· Alternative Energy (AE)
Clearly, the successful deployment of super-recognisers could directly impact three of those areas, -Homeland Defense and Security (HD), Biometrics (BIO), and Critical Infrastructure Protection (CIP).
The current issue of the journal with our article on super-recognisers can be found here
We have also recorded a podcast for HDIAC. It should be broadcast in the next month or so, and we hope this will generate exciting opportunities for our team in the USA in future.
