Nuclear Forensics, Resiliency, and Survivability

Abstract

Per National Security Presidential Memorandum 35, the DoD provides the United States Government (USG) National Technical Nuclear Forensics (NTNF) post-detonation collection and analysis capability. Per DoD Directive S-2060.04, the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition & Sustainment (OUSD(A&S)) is the office responsible for developing and leading DoD’s NTNF capabilities. Collecting and analyzing post-detonation debris is critical to ensure the USG can identify the source of nuclear material and hold those responsible for an attack accountable is critical to our national defense and security. Internal and independent assessments indicate new capabilities are needed to sustain an effective deterrent against nuclear attack and meet the challenges of future threats.
