This DNDO grant supports the Securing the Cities (STC) Initiative, reducing Radiological/Nuclear (RN) attack risk in high-threat metropolitan areas. It aids State and local jurisdictions by enhancing capabilities to detect and interdict illicit radioactive materials. This grant enables deploying current technologies, establishing a regional RN detection architecture, and developing a common multi-agency Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for data sharing and alarm resolution. It also funds training, exercises, and equipment support for sustained operational proficiency, ensuring continued scaled implementation of preventive RN detection.

| Description: | The overall goal of the STC initiative is to reduce the risk of a Radiological/Nuclear (RN) attack on high-risk metropolitan areas by enhancing regional capabilities to detect and interdict illicit radioactive materials in and around metropolitan areas. One aspect of addressing this goal is providing assistance to State and local jurisdictions in and around major metropolitan areas that will enable these entities to build capabilities by: Leveraging current technologies and deploying them regionally in a coordinated manner; Designing, acquiring, and deploying the components of an operationally viable regional architecture for radiological/nuclear detection, focused on State and local jurisdictions; Developing and implementing a common, multi-agency Concept of Operations (CONOPS) for sharing sensor data and resolving alarms within the sensor architecture; Training and exercising by the regional agencies to execute this CONOPS to a high level of proficiency; and, Evaluate and implement an equipment supportability concept to provide the ability to sustain operational capabilities upon the departure of STC financial assistance. Assistance provided through this STC Funding Opportunity Announcement will allow the regional stakeholders to continue scaled implementation of preventive radiological and nuclear detection operational capabilities. Subject to funding availability and an independent assessment, DNDO may execute the STC initiative in other regions in and around major metropolitan areas. |
