SCREENING AT SPEED: Security that Matches the Pace of Life
A TRUSTED CYBER FUTURE: Protecting Privacy, Commerce, and Community
ENABLE THE DECISION MAKER: Actionable Information at the Speed of Thought
RESPONDER OF THE FUTURE: Protected, Connected, and Fully Aware
RESILIENT COMMUNITIES: Disaster-Proofing Society
S&T’s Apex Programs
6
Border Situational Awareness
Next-Generation First Responder
Real-Time Bio Threat Awareness
Next-Generation Cyber Infrastructure
Screening Flood Awareness
7
Develop the global nuclear detection and reporting architecture
Develop, acquire, and support the domestic nuclear detection and reporting system
Characterize detector system performance before deployment
Establish situational awareness through information sharing and analysis
Establish operation protocols to ensure that detection leads to effective response
Conduct a transformational research and development program
Provide stewardship of USG Technical Nuclear Forensics Center planning, integration and development
DNDO Mission and ObjectivesThe DNDO is a jointly-staffed, national office established in 2005 for the purpose of improving the Nation’s capability to detect and report unauthorized attempts to import, possess, store, develop, or transport nuclear or radiological material for use against the
Nation, and to further enhance this capability over time. --- NSPD 43/HSPD 14

DNDO Transformational R&D: Program Elements Exploratory Research (ER)
– Driven by gaps and weaknesses in the Global Nuclear Detection Architecture (GNDA) and technical nuclear forensics
– Investigate promising concepts to show feasibility through laboratory Proof-of-Concept (PoC) demonstrations
Academic Research Initiative (ARI)– Conduct basic and exploratory research to stimulate innovation
in many sectors while augmenting the ER– Create next generation of scientists and engineers
Advanced Technology Demonstration (ATD)– Further develop technology concepts previously demonstrated
under the ER or equivalent– Characterize Performance Test Units (PTU) in a simulated
operational environment to assess technology transition potential
Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR)– Strengthen the role of innovative small business concerns with
federally-funded research and development– Augments the ATD and ER with 2-4 new topics a year
