Forensics Technologies
Abstract
This project supports the attribution process through development, demonstration, and transition of improved post-detonation National Technical Nuclear Forensics (NTNF) capabilities in the areas of materials collection, debris diagnostics, materials analysis, prompt diagnostics, and device reconstruction. Starting in FY 2016, detection-related technologies transition to Project RD (Detection Technologies). Project RF includes Research, Development, Test, & Evaluation (RDT&E) to detect, locate, identify, track, and interdict nuclear and radiological threats. This includes weapons, material, and enablers to their acquisition, and development such as nuclear expertise, financing, or unique technologies. These efforts support Department of Defense (DoD) requirements for combating terrorism, counter/nonproliferation, and homeland defense. The increase from FY 2014 to FY 2015 is due to increased investments in both nuclear detection Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance efforts and nuclear forensics. The decrease from FY 2015 to FY 2016 in Project RF is due to the realignment of nuclear threat detection activities into Project RD-Detection Technologies.
