Abstract：In this paper, we discuss some application challenges of network science in counter-terrorism research under the big data times. The research focuses on some issues, such as data resource of counter-terrorism network, network evolution and dynamic behavior of terrorism organization network, network control and forecast of counter-terrorism information. These researches provide some directions in future counter-terrorism of network science, which make some progresses in counter-terrorism war.
