Nuclear Arms Control Monitoring Sensor Network

Abstract

This project provided 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 addressed requirements validated by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense, Acquisition, Technology & Logistics (OUSD AT&L). This project conformed to the administration's research and development priorities as related to Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) arms control and disarmament. Technical assessments were made to provide the basis for sound project development, evaluation of 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 were conducted to ensure that capabilities for monitoring systems were available when required. Primary emphasis was on improved sensor capabilities and improved detection and assessment capabilities against a wide range of threat origins. The program included 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 provided 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). Effective 1 October 2013, the NACT Program formally transferred from USASMDC/ARSTRAT to the Defense Threat Reduction Agency for management and execution of all aspects of the program.
