A Testbed for Nuclear Explosion Monitoring Research and Development

Abstract

The Research and Development Testbed (R&D Testbed), developed within the Defense Threat Reduction Agency's (DTRA) Center for Monitoring Research (CMR), is designed to support US national and international nuclear test monitoring and verification needs by providing several key functions to the R&D community. First, the R&D Testbed supports the Department of Defense (DoD) sponsored research and development community by providing an interface to the wide range of resources available at CMR. For example, the R&D Testbed provides access to CMR resources such as: near-real time waveform data from International Monitoring System (IMS) and GSETT3 stations, multi-terabyte seismic, hydroacoustic and infrasonic waveform archives, specialty ground-truth calibration databases, research archives, high resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy and beta-gamma coincidence spectroscopy radionuclide databases, and past and present products of both the Prototype International Data Center and the International Data Centre (IDC).
