The Program Review had the following focus areas: Spectral Sensing of Solids, Poster Session, Passive Spectral Sensing Development, Active Spectral Sensing Development, Millimeter-Wave and RF Sensing, Optical Remote Sensing, Enabling Technologies and a limited attendance SCI Session. One of the enduring programs within the Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and Development is to develop remote sensing technology that supports detection and characterization of signatures or activities related to nuclear proliferation The Remote Sensing Program has been a cornerstone in the national capability for the detection of facilities and activities related to the proliferation of foreign nuclear programs. Remote Sensing research encompass a wide variety of capabilities to detect signatures associated with the development of nuclear weapons. The research areas in the Remote Sensing program include sensor development, image processing, and digital signal processing techniques for analysis and characterization of observed phenomena. The list of presenters representers the key researcher and program performers from Argonne, Los Alamos, Livermore, Oak Ridge, Sandia, Savannah River and Pacific Northwest National Laboratories, the Remote Sensing Laboratory, the Special Technologies Laboratory, and the Nevada National Security Site management and operating contractor, along with Federal program officials. The Remote Sensing Laboratory (RSL) is a center for creating and using advanced technologies that provide a broad range of scientific, technological, and operational disciplines with core competencies in emergency response operations and support, remote sensing, and applied science and technologies in support of counterterrorism and radiological incident response. The Atomic Energy Commission originally established the "Aerial Measurements Operations" at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, Nevada, in the 1950s. It was created to serve the worldwide emergency system by providing rapid response to radiological emergencies. In 1976, the DOE established an Aerial Measurements Operations at Andrews Air Force Base - now called Joint Base Andrews - in Maryland to provide scientific and technical support to counterterrorism efforts during U.S. Bicentennial events in Washington, D.C. With a location on each coast, the RSL has served for over 50 years as a valuable national asset for nuclear emergency response and remote sensing capabilities.
