Description

This solicitation seeks the development of novel technologies with commercial and national security applications to detect Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) weapons of mass destruction (CWMD) and related threats. The focus is on using signals from general-purpose military hardware, commercially-available devices, and publicly-available data sources to detect WMD threats without bespoke sensors. Phase I involves identifying feasible use cases and providing a course of action for prototype development. Phase II focuses on building and testing a prototype, and Phase III aims to refine the technology for broader mission applicability and dual-use applications.
