The DHS Secretary established the STC Program, managed through the Assistant Secretary for Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction, to enhance the ability of the United States to detect and prevent terrorist attacks and other high-consequence events utilizing nuclear or other radiological materials that pose risk to homeland security in high-risk urban areas. Support to recipients 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, and 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. The STC Goal and Objectives are: Goal - Develop/enhance sustainable radiological/nuclear (R/N) detection capabilities among regional operational partners Objectives - a) Assist state, local, tribal and territorial governments in developing R/N detection and reporting capability; b) Establish information connectivity to support radiological/nuclear alarm adjudication; c) Establish administrative infrastructure to support a R/N detection program; d) Establish coordination mechanisms between operational partners for steady state operations, enhanced steady state operations and search operations. * DHS CWMD worked with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Department of Energy to create the Domestic Detection CONOPS to facilitate an effective "whole of government" response among mission partners to detect and communicate about potential or actual threats involving R/N materials within the United States. DHS will provide the Domestic Detection CONOPS to grant recipients as a basis for planning their regional CONOPS.
