Summary This research supports the Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s (DTRA’s) overarching mission of reducing the threats from weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and goal of goal of promoting the development of the agency's science and technology workforce for combating WMD. The focus of the research is on DTRA’s role in certifying and inspecting aerial imaging systems used by States Parties to the Treaty on Open Skies. The scope of the research is to identify where gaps in current Decisions to the Treaty and procedures for certification and inspection are likely to arise due to adoption of cutting-edge microelectronics and software in Open Skies aerial imaging systems.
