Daniel Gonzales is a senior physical scientist at the RAND Corporation. His areas of expertise include command, control, and communications and intelligence (C3I) systems; information technology (IT); and new IT system architectures, such as service-oriented architectures. He has examined technical feasibility, performance, and risk issues for C3I and IT system developments for the U.S. Army, the Director of Defense Research and Engineering (DDR&E), other parts of the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and the U.S. Navy.

Gonzales has examined the capabilities of the joint tactical radio system (JTRS), satellite communications, biometrics, and other intelligence systems, as well as the Army's and the DoD's growing communications bandwidth needs. He served as lead author on several recent RAND publications, including Networked Forces in Stability Operations: 101st Airborne Division, 3/2 and 1/25 Stryker Brigades in Northern Iraq (2007), and two network-centric operations case studies: Air-to-Air Combat With and Without Link 16 (2005) andThe Stryker Brigade Combat Team (2005). Gonzales supports DDR&E in its efforts to make C3I systems interoperable and in conducting independent assessments of technical feasibility and risk for DoD C3I and IT programs. This work has included independent technical assessments of JTRS advanced networking waveforms, satellite communications options for personnel recovery, and the technical risks associated with a number of next-generation DoD C3I programs. He has also reviewed proposed DoD IT policy, and new interoperability technologies and standards proposed for DoD C3I systems.


Gonzales received his Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

U.S. needs a new electronic identity-protection strategy to prevent 'hybrid warfare' attacks
