Homeland Security demonstrates nuclear forensics capabilites

The director of the Domestic Nuclear Detection Office (DNDO) within the Department of Homeland Security announced Tuesday that her office was successful in demonstrating nuclear forensics capabilities.

Huban Gowadia said that between July 27 and Aug. 21 the demonstration -- Mighty Sabre 2015 -- allowed DNDO and partner agencies to test the efficacy of the Discreet Oculus system prototype developed by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA). 

"The U.S. government continues to develop formidable nuclear forensics capabilities in support of our policy to hold fully accountable any state, terrorist group, or other non-state actor that supports or enables terrorist efforts to obtain or use nuclear weapons," Gowadia said.
