Analytic Threat Observation, Materialistic Identification, Classification, and Attribution (ATOMICA)
Abstract
Previously-funded JCTD. ATOMICA supports the National Defense Strategy’s focus on providing non-intrusive, real-time identification of threats to support the Joint Force’s secure maneuverability through both land and sea. ATOMICA provides a portable, self-contained sensor system that will provide an unprecedented ability to materialistically determine the contents of an unknown object. The sensor will interrogate objects with a short standoff distance without touching, opening, or disturbing the targeted object. The ATOMICA sensor will be integrated onto various unmanned platforms, to include unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) and unmanned, remotely-operated vehicles (ROV) for both terrestrial and underwater environments. In FY 2022, ATOMICA developed a concept of operations (CONOPS) and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) for fieldable/operational prototypes. In FY 2023, the JCTD will conduct an Operational Demonstration/Military Utility Assessment and transition to a U.S. Navy Expeditionary Combat Branch (OPNAV N957) program of record for Maritime Expeditionary Standoff Response (MESR). The JCTD will complete in FY 2023.
