Here’s my uninformed speculation concerning the innovation about which Woodward is so tight-lipped: it involves social network analysis. Through trial-and-error, data mining, number crunching, modeling/simulation, and multiple information sources, our guys have figured out how to identify (with a very high degree of certainty) the key node in an otherwise loosely connected and shifting network. That is to say, they know much more now about how to identify the particular SOB whose absence would cause the most damage to the network.
