Description
Proposed effort will identify promising phenomenologies and signatures in order to set the stage for the development of sensors and platforms for effective warhead typing. The tool will develop first-principles post-processing models for four phenomenologies: Special nuclear material molecular radiation and absorption signatures, debris cloud nuclear radiation, special nuclear material ionization, and ionospheric effects. The models will be tested on outputs of the Velodyne hydrostructural code. We conclude by developing initial sensor concepts, analyzing predicted sensitivities and detection probabilities, and making recommendations for Phase III development efforts.
