formational and evolutionary improvements in detection 
capabilities for shielded and unshielded nuclear explosive 
devices and radiological dispersion devices. 
‘‘(b) HIGH-RISK PROJECTS.—The program shall in-
clude funding for transformational research and develop-
ment projects that may have a high risk of failure but have 
the potential to provide significant benefits. 
‘‘(c) LONG-TERM PROJECTS.—In order to reflect a 
long-term commitment to the development of more effective 
detection technologies, the program shall include the provi-
sion of funding for projects having a duration of more than 
3 years, as appropriate. 
‘‘(d) COORDINATION WITH OTHER FEDERAL PRO-
GRAMS.—The Director shall coordinate implementation of 
the program with other Federal agencies performing similar 
research and development in order to accelerate the develop-
ment of effective technologies, promote technology sharing, 
and to avoid duplication, including through the use of the 
interagency coordination council established under section 
2013. 
‘‘SEC. 2005. SYSTEM ASSESSMENTS.

‘‘(b) PERFORMANCE METRICS.—The Director shall es-
tablish performance metrics for evaluating the effectiveness 
of individual detectors and detection systems in detecting 
nuclear explosive devices or fissile or radiological mate-
rial— 
‘‘(1) under realistic operational and environ-
mental conditions; and 
‘‘(2) against realistic adversary tactics and 
countermeasures. 
‘‘(c) PROVISION OF TESTING SERVICES.— 
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—The Director may, under the 
program, make available testing services to commer-
cial developers of detection devices. 
‘‘(2) FEES.—The Director may charge fees, as 
appropriate, for performance of services under this 
subsection. 
‘‘(d) SYSTEM ASSESSMENTS.— 
‘‘(1) IN GENERAL.—The Director shall periodi-
cally perform system-wide assessments of the global 
nuclear 
detection 
architecture 
to 
identify 
vulnerabilities and to gauge overall system perform-
ance against nuclear and radiological threats.

‘‘(A) red teaming activities to identify 
vulnerabilities and possible modes of attack and 
concealment methods; and 
‘‘(B) net assessments to determine architec-
ture performance against adversary tactics and 
concealment methods. 
‘‘(3) USE.—The Director shall use the assess-
ments to guide deployment of the global nuclear detec-
tion architecture and the research and development 
activities of the Office.
