National Technical Nuclear Forensics (NTNF)

Abstract

NTNF will strengthen strategic nuclear deterrence by enhancing nuclear forensics capabilities supporting attribution after release of nuclear materials (details are classified). NTNF will integrate advanced air and ground debris sample collection technologies in both manned and unmanned platforms, and integrate DoD capabilities into the developing joint interagency Concept of Operations for advanced air and ground sample collection with global applicability. The project will also demonstrate enhanced integrated yield estimation methods for nuclear events. Techniques to be employed will increase capabilities to determine initial yields and collect nuclear debris, while enhancing safety for NTNF Task Force personnel.
