Nuclear Arms Control Monitoring Sensor Network

Abstract

This project provides Research, Development, Testing & Evaluation (RDTE) to meet technology requirements in support of implementation, compliance, monitoring and inspection for existing and emerging nuclear arms control activities and dual use technology for missile defense integration activities. The project addresses requirements validated by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense, Acquisition, Technology & Logistics (OUSD AT&L). This project conforms to the administration's research and development priorities as related to Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) arms control and disarmament. Technical assessments are made to provide the basis for sound project development, evaluate existing programs and provide the data required to make compliance judgments and support US policy, decision-makers and negotiating teams. Technology developments and system improvement projects are conducted to ensure that capabilities for monitoring systems are available when required. Primary emphasis is on improved sensor capabilities and improved detection and assessment capabilities against a wide range of threat origins. The program includes development of equipment and procedures for data exchanges, inspections and monitoring capability and analysis. The technologies and procedures developed in the arms control technology program provide an invaluable source of information on equipment and procedures that is extensively used by US and international agencies. This project also supports the warfighting capability area of combating Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).
