Detection Technologies

Abstract

The detection mission is to conduct Research, Development, Test, & Evaluation (RDT&E) to 1) identify, develop, and exploit signatures associated with nuclear threat enablers such as nuclear expertise, financing, or unique materials to advance U.S. capabilities to detect and interdict such threats; and 2) locate, identify, and track special nuclear material and improve detection factors such as range, time, sensitivity, or accuracy to enhance Service/Special Mission Unit capabilities. These efforts support Department of Defense (DoD) requirements for combating terrorism, counter/nonproliferation, and homeland defense. 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.
