Ultimately, the nation will require a comprehensive defensive architecture that accounts for risks—and meets realistic cost constraints.
Sandia is applying its deep systems analysis capabilities to help create this architecture.
Examples of specific projects follow.
Sandia is providing key insights to a national defensive architecture against radiological and nuclear weapons. This multi-lab project is examining the following:
Sandia has developed a simulation that is allowing comprehensive analysis of the security of the U.S. border system.
The simulation is illustrating the impacts of changing border operations and has enabled trade-off and sensitivity analyses to quantify the impacts and security benefits of deploying radiation detection technologies.
Findings could have immediate application in the real world by helping U.S. ports of entry use technologies efficiently to uncover threats, while minimizing effects on people and businesses.
Sandia has been involved in developing architectures for specific events and venues. This work is leading to a general set of concepts of operations that can be used to efficiently increase detection at any event or location.
