Description

This solicitation seeks the development of novel technologies with commercial and national security applications to detect radiological or nuclear threats using signals from general-purpose military hardware, commercially-available devices, and publicly-available data sources. The project involves multiple phases: Phase I focuses on identifying feasible use cases for non-WMD-specific sensors to detect WMD threats, Phase II involves building and testing a prototype or model, and Phase III aims to refine the technology for broader mission applicability and dual-use applications. The solicitation is part of the DoD SBIR 2026 BAA and is managed by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA).
