  2. 1. 1A-2: Glenn F. Knoll Memorial Lecture: Radiation Measurements - Concepts and Misconceptions
    Valentin T. Jordanov (labZY, Santa Fe, NM, USA)
    23/05/2016, 09:15
    The salient characteristic of radiation measurements is the discrete nature of the measured substance. The radiation manifests itself as energetic quanta that are emitted and interact with the radiation detectors randomly in time. In addition, the radiation measurement signals are always subject to statistical fluctuations due to the nature of the radiation-matter interactions and the detector...

  3. 2. 1B-1, Radiation Detection Development and Procurement Opportunities at DOD
    Valentin Novikov (JPEO-CBD)
    23/05/2016, 10:30
    A short overview of the Joint Product Manager for Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPM-RND) will precede a summary of the current and future radiation detection development and procurement programs at JPM-RND. Current and future programs for JPM-RND include RADIAC survey equipment, dosimetry, and detectors focused on special nuclear material (SNM) search. Additionally, opportunities for...

  4. 3. 1B-2, DNDO ATDs - Past, Present, and Future
    Joel Rynes (Domestic Nuclear Detection Office)
    23/05/2016, 10:50
  5. 4. 1B-3, Technology Development and the Need for Realistic Testing under Realistic Conditions
    Tom Cassidy (Sensor Concepts & Applications, Inc.)
    23/05/2016, 11:20
    In support of, and through funding from, DNDO, we have developed a capability to simulate the key operational environment for the detection of nuclear material under a wide variety of simulated real world conditions. Additionally, the ability to collect data from prototype systems and to analyze the data collected in such a way that performance information can be fed back to the vendors has...

  6. 5. 1C-1, Towards Implementation of Large Scale Context-Sensitive Mobile Standoff Radiation Detection Systems
    Dan Chivers (Berkeley Applied Analytics LLC, Berkeley, CA, USA, and LBNL)
    23/05/2016, 13:30
    Over the past decade, the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) has sponsored technology development within the grand challenge topic area of Wide Area Monitoring and Search (WAMS). These research & development activities are intended to fill technological gaps within the operational mission space to confidently clear an area or venue of, or actively search for, the presence of radiological...

  7. 6. 1C-2, Development and Characterization of the Airborne Radiological Enhanced-sensor System
    Brian Quiter (LBNL)
    23/05/2016, 14:00
    The Airborne Radiological Enhanced-sensor System (ARES) Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD) strives to improve capabilities to detect, localize, track, and identify illicit radiological and/or nuclear material in airborne search scenarios. The Transformational and Applied Research (TAR) Directorate in the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) contracted Lawrence Berkeley National...

  8. 7. 1C-3, Radiation Awareness and Interdiction Network (RAIN) Advanced Technology Demonstration
    Mark Wrobel (Domestic Nuclear Detection Office)
    23/05/2016, 14:30
    RAIN is a U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD) to detect vehicle or cargo borne radiological or nuclear threats when traveling up to highway speeds. The approaches feature integration of radiation detectors, image capture systems, automated analysis, and communications intended to provide a highly sensitive...

  9. 8. 1C-4, Passive Detection in Wide-Area Search and Cluttered Environments Path Forward
    Kevin Cronk (Domestic Nuclear Detection Office)
    23/05/2016, 15:00
    For the past 10 years the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Domestic Nuclear Detection Office’s (DNDO) Transformational and Applied Research (TAR) Directorate has been developing and testing technologies to improve the technical ability to detect, identify, and localize illicit radiological and nuclear materials from transformational stand-off distances. Looking to the future, DNDO...
