Category Explanation:

The Securing the Cities (STC) Program seeks to reduce the risk of a successful deployment of a radiological/nuclear (R/N) terrorist weapon against a major metropolitan area in the United States by establishing sustainable capability within Global Nuclear Detection Architecture (GNDA) partner agencies to detect, analyze, and report nuclear and other radioactive materials out of regulatory control within their jurisdictions. Capability in this sense is defined as trained and equipped personnel, proficient in the use of R/N detection equipment, and guided by detection and response protocols. The STC Program supports the ‘Prevent Terrorism and Enhance Security’ Mission
