Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) Nuclear Detection Research

Recognizing the risks associated with the potential use of a nuclear weapon within the United States, the Department has integrated all nuclear detection research, development, testing, evaluation, acquisition, and operational support into a single office: the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO). 

This office will develop a global nuclear detection architecture; conduct research and development; and acquire and support the deployment of domestic nuclear detection systems.
