HistoryFAS was founded as the Federation of Atomic Scientists on November 30, 1945, by a group of and within the Associations of Manhattan Project Scientists, Scientists, and Scientists. Its early mission was to support the of 1946, educate the public, politicians, and policy-makers, and promote international transparency.
On January 6, 1946, FAS changed its name to the Federation of American Scientists, but its purpose remained the same—to agitate for the international control of and its devotion to peaceful uses, public promotion of science and the freedom and integrity of scientists and scientific research. Nuclear Security ProgramContinuing the FAS tradition of international control of atomic energy and devotion to its peaceful uses, the Nuclear Security Program pursues projects that create a more secure world. SSP includes program work that focuses on reducing the risks of further nuclear proliferation and nuclear terrorism. Nuclear Information ProjectThe Nuclear Information Project provides the and policy-makers with information and analysis on the status, number, and operation of, the policies that guide their potential use and nuclear arms control. The project reports on developments in the that are relevant to. The project puts technical information into a nonproliferation context and looks at case studies by conducting independent calculations and analyses. Government SecrecyThe Government Secrecy Project works to promote public access to information and to illuminate the apparatus of government secrecy, including and policies.
The project also publishes previously undisclosed or hard-to-find government documents of public policy interest, as well as resources on intelligence policy.The project publication is Secrecy News, which reports on new developments in government secrecy and provides public access to documentary resources on secrecy, intelligence, and national security policy.The Government Secrecy Project is directed by, who is also editor and author of Secrecy News. Biosecurity ProgramThe Biosecurity Program concentrates on researching and advocating policies that balance science and security without compromising or scientific progress.
This includes preventing the misuse of research and promoting the public understanding of the real threats from and.The Virtual Biosecurity Center provides the public with a resource to find the latest updates on policy, information, and research. Legacy Programs and Projects Arms Sales Monitoring ProjectThe Arms Sales Monitoring Project (ASMP) worked to increase transparency, accountability and restraint in the legal; eradicate the illicit arms trade; and served as a repository of data on U.S. Arms transfers and arms export controls. Project work focused on the arms trade, U.S. Arms export policies, and the illicit trade in and light weapons through the publication of reports and articles, media outreach, and public speaking.The Arms Sales Monitoring Project was discontinued in 2014. Military Analysis NetworkThe Military Analysis Network offered information on U.S. And Foreign Weapon Systems,.
Federation Of American Scientists Crs Reports
The Network provided resources and databases in several categories including:. A guide to United States Munitions and Weapons Systems. Rest of World Military Equipment by Country Index.
United States Military Logistics Index. Selected Country Military Summaries Index. Report on Weapons in SpaceThis is a legacy project and information is no longer updated by FAS staff. Learning Technologies ProgramThe Learning Technologies Program (LTP) focused on ways to use innovative technologies to improve how people teach and learn. The LTP created games and learning tools and assembled collaborative projects consisting of, design professionals, and community leaders to undertake innovative education initiatives at both the national and local level.The Project worked to help create learning tools to bring about major gains in learning and training.
The major project of the Program is, a fully 3-D game in which high school students discover the inner workings of the body's circulatory and immune systems, as they pilot a tiny drone through the bloodstream to fight microscopic invaders.Immune Attack was jointly developed by the Federation of American Scientists, the University of Southern California, and Escape Hatch Entertainment. Immune Attack is a supplemental teaching tool, designed to be used in addition to middle school and high school biology textbooks. It introduces and in detail that is usually reserved for college students. However, it uses the familiar and motivational video game format to introduce the strange and new world of s and.The Learning Technologies Program was discontinued in 2013. Earth Systems ProgramThe Earth Systems Program (ESP) examined the increased stresses on the environment, including issues relating to energy, food, agriculture, water, and other, and to analyze how they interact with respect to. ESP was created out of the idea that technology should allow people worldwide to improve their and amenities through secure and ways.
The program worked improve dialogue and trust between s, policy makers, and the public, as well as to develop science partnerships to solve critical environment and energy problems. Building Technologies ProjectThe FAS Building Technologies Project was initiated in 2001 to focus the efforts of scientists and engineers who specialize in building materials on a range of issues such as, and to create homes that are safe, affordable, and attractive to builders and owners in the United States and abroad.The Building Technologies Program worked to advance innovation in and construction that can improve quality, affordability, energy efficiency and hazard protection while lowering construction.
Technical advances, including new composite materials and components, help to meet these goals in ways that are beneficial for builders and owners. The Building Technologies Project combined the talents of renowned architects and engineers along with the nation’s leading energy experts to embark upon housing issues in the United States and abroad.Program areas included:. Manufactured housing. Relief housing. Advanced technologies. Learning technologies and training. Policy issuesThe Building Technologies Project was discontinued in 2012.
LeadershipThe Federation of American Scientists is led by a Board of Directors made up of renowned members of the science, business and academic communities.Charles D. Ferguson is the President of FAS. Prior to FAS, he worked as the Senior Fellow for Science and Technology at the. In addition to the many long and distinguished positions he has held, Ferguson is a widely respected physicist and who has more than twenty years of experience in the field.FAS membership includes numerous prominent American and international scientists, many of whom are current and former government officials. In addition, the FAS Board of Sponsors includes 63 Nobel Laureates. See also.External links.Notes and References.
