DARPA’s Defense Sciences Office (DSO) is offering the SIGMA Program grant to support innovative research aimed at developing novel, low-cost, and highly efficient packaged radiation detectors. This grant is for the purpose of advancing technologies that can effectively identify hidden threats, ranging from special nuclear materials (SNM) to various radiological sources. The program seeks ground-breaking ideas to enhance capabilities in detecting illicit materials, contributing to national security and public safety. The objective is to produce compact, affordable, and effective detection solutions that can be widely deployed for threat identification.
