DTRA counter-WMD subsurface hazard detection and autonomous geophysical sensing R&D (SBIR)
Defense Threat Reduction Agency and DoD efforts to detect and characterize subsurface WMD devices and hazards using autonomous platforms with geophysical sensors (EMI, GPR, magnetometers) and AI-driven sensor-tasking and routing, including SBIR topics such as DTR27BZ02-NV003 under the DoW SBIR 2027 BAA, funding, requirements, transition to programs of record, and congressional oversight of counter-WMD detection.
