### Project RD — NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGIES AND CAPABILITIES DEVELOPMENT

This project supports the development of capabilities for the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) to counter proliferation and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and to model the consequences of the use of nuclear weapons and integrate these capabilities for Combatant Command use. This project encompasses the following related areas: DTRA’s Enhanced Consequence Analysis (ECA) program performs research and development to improve the reliability and effectiveness of capabilities related to the consequence of execution of a nuclear weapon. This program delivers nuclear weapon effects (NWE) decision support tools for use during strategic and operational planning. The ECA program directly supports U.S. and allied warfighter planning requirements, including the Integrated Strategic Planning and Analysis Network Increment 5, an acquisition category 1A Major Automated Information System that supports developing nuclear and conventional force application plans. DTRA’s Nuclear Arms Control Technologies (NACT) program performs research and development to improve the sustainability, reliability, and effectiveness of capabilities related to its operational mission to install, operate, maintain, and sustain the waveform and radionuclide nuclear detonation detection stations and a radionuclide analysis laboratory comprising the majority of the U.S. portion of the International Monitoring System (IMS). This system delivers data continuously to the U.S. monitoring and verification community supporting warfighter and interagency nuclear-event response in support of the United States and Department of War (DoW). The NACT program directly supports U.S. and allied warfighter and national technical monitoring requirements and provides vital data used by the treaty monitoring community, warfighter planners, DoW, other U.S. Government agencies, and international agencies. The Nuclear Capabilities Services (NuCS) program performs RDT&E to improve capabilities to model nuclear weapon effects environments and simulate the response of systems and networks to these effects.

**Named R-3 performers** (share of this project's FY2027 R-3 total, so they need not reach 100%)**:** Booz Allen (4.0, 24%), General Dynamics (0.8, 4.9%).

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| RD - Nuclear Technologies and Capabilities Development | 14.5 | 14.8 | 16.7 |

> R-2A activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. Coverage is partial, so count them, never total them.

## Where the FY2027 request goes

| Category | Share | $M |
|---|---|---|
| Industry primes | 29% | 4.8 |
| Government labs & warfare centers | 28% | 4.7 |
| Other / unspecified | 43% | 7.2 |

**Top named industry performers:** Booz Allen ($4.0M, 24%), General Dynamics ($0.8M, 4.9%).

> R-3 exhibit contract funding, not USAspending obligations.
