Optimal Imaging for Treaty Verification

Brubaker, Erik B.; Hilton, Nathan H.; Johnson, William A.; Marleau, Peter M.; Kupinski, Matthew K.; MacGahan, Christopher J.

Future arms control treaty verification regimes may use radiation imaging measurements to confirm and track nuclear warheads or other treaty accountable items (TAIs). This project leverages advanced inference methods developed for medical and adaptive imaging to improve task performance in arms control applications. Additionally, we seek a method to acquire and analyze imaging data of declared TAIs without creating an image of those objects or otherwise storing or revealing any classified information. Such a method would avoid the use of classified-information barriers (IB).
