I would like to thank all of my family and friends who supported me throughout the duration of the tedious R&D and writing of the HoT Framework. This GitBook was developed in its entirety with open source information and does not reflect the views of the United States Government. I look forward to building partnerships with Federal and SLTT governments, NGOs, and the private sector (academia and industry) in developing this framework for the betterment of our Nation’s security. This framework and future research are available at https://homelandofthings.org, though we do hope that this framework or a derivative will take on the form of federal government doctrine.
