1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

1.1 The Air Force Technical Applications Center (AFTAC) provides the U.S Department of Defense’s (DoD) time dominant scientific and technical information to the right person for decision advantage supporting international nuclear treaty compliance and strategic, operational, and tactical warfighters. Its mission is to detect nuclear explosions anywhere on earth, the atmosphere, or in space. AFTAC monitors for, collects, analyzes, characterizes, and exploits space, missile, atmospheric, subsurface, and hydrological events to identify violations to several nuclear and non-nuclear treaties worldwide. AFTAC provides 24/7 monitoring to support integrated tactical warning and attack assessment (ITW/AA) and Nuclear Force Management (NFM) for the United States command authorities, providing rapid reporting through USSTRATCOM. AFTAC operates the US National Data Center (US NDC), which is the US arm of the International Monitoring System (IMS) supporting the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO). The US NDC and the IMS support international efforts to limit nuclear testing and proliferation worldwide. AFTAC supports the International Atomic Energy Agency with material sample analysis capabilities, providing accurate measurements to support nonproliferation efforts. Finally, AFTAC supports consequence management and incident response for suspected or confirmed nuclear related incidents, supporting the National Technical Nuclear Forensics (NTNF) mission, and provides program management for Ballistic Missile Technical Collection (BMTC) radar platforms. AFTAC provides national authorities quality technical measurements to monitor nuclear treaty compliance and develops advanced proliferation monitoring technologies to preserve our nation’s security. AFTAC also performs research and development of new proliferation detection technologies to enhance or assist treaty verification to limit the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
1.2 AFTAC is looking for new capabilities in nuclear treaty monitoring, advanced
