FY 19 STC Announcement

archived

The STC program seeks to reduce the risk of a successful deployment of a weapon of mass destruction or the movement of materials into major metropolitan areas and regions of the nation. Support includes assistance in developing and integrating local or regional programs into a national detection structure, guiding the development of Concepts of Operations (CONOPs) and standard operating procedures, providing radiological/nuclear (R/N) detection equipment, providing training and exercise products to ensure detection is integrated into day-to-day activities and that partners are proficient in the detection mission area. Capability is defined as trained and equipped personnel who are proficient in the use of R/N detection equipment and guided by detection and response protocols. The STC Program has three primary goals: o Enhance regional capabilities to detect, analyze, report, and interdict radiological and nuclear materials that could be used by an adversary; o Achieve a unified approach to defense that leverages federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial assets providing defense in depth in large geographic regions; and o Maximize deployment of primary screening equipment to state, local, tribal, and territorial agencies to support federal CWMD priorities and speed response by federal assets.
