Forensics Technologies
Abstract
The Forensics Technologies project develops nuclear forensics technologies providing accurate, rapid, and reliable means to collect, analyze, and evaluate prompt data and debris from a nuclear or radiological event in support of exploitation and attribution efforts. These forensics technologies also enable the Defense Threat Reduction Agency's (DTRA) and its partners to detect, locate, identify, track, and interdict nuclear and radiological threats, including weapons and material and enablers to their acquisition and development. In accordance with Department of Defense Directive S-2060.04, DTRA serves as the U.S. Government lead for National Technical Nuclear Forensics (NTNF) research and development. As the central NTNF coordinator, DTRA works in consultation with partners to develop and improve ground-based capabilities supporting exploitation and attribution missions.
