This set of slides is intended to provide supporting information for this BAA topic release. Approaches presented in proposals should be guided by the concepts in the slide relevant to the topic.

Conventional Nuclear Integration (CNI)

CNI is guided by the following principles:

• Supported with state-of-the-art nuclear sensors

• Integrated into multi-modal, multi-functional networks

• Developed in support of U.S and allied forces (maneuver or base defense) operating in nuclear environments

• Developed around improved situational awareness and decision support tools

• Embedded with C2 systems

• Functionality at the tactical edge but expandable to networks as allowed

• Enabled by machine learning, virtual reality and augmented reality

• Supporting air, sea, and ground missions

Topics NT-21-DET-01, NT-21-DET-02, and NT-21-DET-03 are in support of CNI.

Counter Nuclear Threat Networks (CNTN)

CNTN is guided by the following principles:

• Informed by signature discovery efforts

• Integrated sensor packages designed for specific applications and often exploiting multiple signatures to improve confidence

• Improved data analytics and visualization

• Decision support at the tactical edge and situational awareness tools to support tactical, operational, and strategic command elements

Topic NT-21-DET-04 is in support of CNTN.
