4 Architecture Structure Geographic Layers Threats Pathways Exterior Nuclear Weapons Air Border Interior Nuclear Material Radiological Material Land Maritime Detection Approaches Fixed Mobile Re-locatable Continuous Periodic Event Threats could originate in either the Exterior (international) or Interior (domestic) layers Depending upon origin, threats may pass though one or three layers Adversaries may use one or more pathways in each layer or layer transition 4
5 Integrated Nuclear Detection at POEs Detection of special nuclear material must be accomplished with both passive radiation portal monitors and active automated x-ray imaging. Detection of unshielded or lightly shielded materials accomplished with current and next-generation radiation portal monitors Automated x-ray imaging to detect high density shielding that might be used to avoid passive detection DHS programs will deploy integrated technologies domestically FOR PUBLIC RELEASE September 8,
6 Passive Radiation Portal Monitors RPMs provide a passive means to screen containers, cars, trucks and other conveyances for radioactive and nuclear materials. Current Generation systems (referred to as PVT RPMs), built from plastic scintillator (Polyvinyl Toluene PVT) material for gamma detection and He-3 Tubes for Neutron Detection Next Generation systems (referred to as Advanced Spectroscopic Portal (ASP RPMs), built with Sodium Iodide or Germanium (for gamma ray detection) and He-3 Tubes (for Neutron Detection), use the spectra of radiation to improve system effectiveness by optimizing sensitivity, probability of detection, and false alarm rate 6
7 ASP Prime Contractors Competively Awarded Contracts Data Collection Prototypes, Full Scale Engineering Development, Low Rate Initial Production, Full Scale Production, and Deployment Support Raytheon, Tewksbury, MA (NaI(Tl)) (with Bubble Technology) Thermo Electron, Santa Fe, NM (NaI(Tl)) Canberra, Meriden, CT (HPGe) Standard Variants Potential Seaport Variants Variant C Variant H Variant NS1 Variant NS2 7
8 ASP Example Depleted Uranium Hidden in Truckload of Naturally-Radioactive Fertilizer PVT system incorrectly focuses on radiation hotspot produced by innocent fertilizer and misses hidden Uranium ASP system correctly finds, identifies, and locates the Uranium concealed in the fertilizer 8
9 Sodium Iodide (NaI) Manufacturing Program Typical ASP Radiation Portal Monitor Panel Gamma Ray Detector Assembly Crystal Housing PMT & Interface NaI(Tl) Crystal Mission & Requirements Provide a reliable supply of the most critical hardware component for the Advanced Spectroscopic Portal Increase NaI production capacity in FY06 - FY08 to ensure a sufficient crystal supply - Fourfold increase in production capacity dedicated to DHS mission - Approximately 18 months to facilitize Provide NaI crystal detector assemblies as government furnished equipment (GFE) from FY07 - FY10 - ASP Units purchased with detectors as contractor furnished equipment in FY06 - First GFE order to be placed in FY07 Create a more competitive crystal manufacturing market to reduce costs - 25% cost reduction anticipated 9
10 Cargo Advanced Automated Radiography System Program Current System Deficiencies Current gamma-ray radiography systems cannot achieve goal of 100% physical inspection - Manual image processing (throughput rate of 12 per hour) - No information content available in current image makes automated detection extremely problematic Limited penetration Performance Goals Automated detection of small (volume > 100 cm 3 ), very dense (Z > 72) objects in containerized cargo Improved penetration capability (>16 steel) Automatically inspect containers or cargo at a throughput rate of per hour ASP and CAARS in tandem automatically detect and flag >90% of threat materials Next Steps Prototype testing (Sep-Nov 2008) Low-Rate Initial Production Start (Winter 2008) 10
11 CAARS Prime Contractors Competively Awarded Contracts Demonstration and Data Collection Prototypes; and Possible Followon Full Scale Engineering Development, Low Rate Initial Production, Full Scale Production, and Deployment Support AS&E, Billerica, MA (with Passport Systems, Inc.) L-3, Woburn, MA (with Bio-Imaging Research) SAIC, San Diego, CA Initial Developmental Configurations 11
12 Human Portable Radiation Detection Systems (HPRDS) Current System Deficiencies Sodium Iodide systems (broadly used as a primary and secondary inspection tools): - Provide only a 40-50% probability of correct identification - Provide virtually no neutron detection sensitivity High Purity Germanium Systems (Used for high fidelity identification) - System weight (25.3 lbs) substantially limits ConOps - Substantial Cost (approx $35K) Performance Goals Develop a lightweight (4.5 lbs) system with probability of identification of 90% at a price of < $15K Options include: - Weight and power reduction in Germanium devices - Alternate detector materials Capability Development Program Award up to three contracts for the development and production of scintillation (e.g.. Sodium Iodide and Lanthanum Bromide) and semiconductor (High Purity Germanium) handheld detection devices 88 Early Production Units (EPU) in early FY07 Production capacity necessary to fulfill CBP, USCG, FBI, and other agency requirements Improve systems using Spiral Development - Advanced algorithms - Common display 12
