Detection Technologies

Abstract

The Detection Technologies project continues research formerly conducted under project RF. This project develops, integrates and transitions advanced concepts, technologies and subsystems enabling enhanced nuclear and radiological location, identification, and tracking capabilities. Leveraging gains made in applied research efforts, this project produces advancements in range, process time, sensitivity and accuracy. In addition, this project continues the development of novel concepts and technologies enabling the identification and exploitation of non-radiation based signatures associated with nuclear threats (e.g., transportation of nuclear materials, patterns of activity, or unique materials). The increase from FY 2015 to FY 2016 is due to the subdivision of Project RF-Detection and Forensics Technologies into projects RD-Detection Technologies and RF-Forensics Technologies beginning in FY 2016. The decrease from FY 2016 to FY 2017 is due to decreased investment in radiation detection and nuclear threat detection intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance technologies.
