U.S. IMS Overview Mr. James Mattila NACT Program October 2015 Approved for Public Release; Distribution is Unlimited
Mission DTRA Mission: Safeguard the United States and its allies from global WMD threats by integrating, synchronizing, and providing expertise, technologies, and capabilities NACT Program Mission: Installs, operates, sustains, and improves 32 US-owned monitoring stations of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) International Monitoring System (IMS) to deliver data in support of US and DOD Nonproliferation objectives
Concept of Operations To States Parties National Data Centers International Data Center (Vienna) automated and interactive knowledge based data fusion Atmosphere Radionuclide Hydrosphere Hydroacoustic Tectonosphere Seismic Infrasound
US International Monitoring System DTRA s NACT Program and AFTAC: installs, operates, and sustains US IMS seismic, infrasound, radionuclide and hydroacoustic stations which are a subset of the Comprehensive Nuclear- Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT) International Monitoring System (IMS) 37 US International Monitoring System (IMS) Stations Primary Seismic (5) Auxiliary Seismic (12) Infrasound (8) Alaska Hydroacoustic (1) Radionuclide (11) Laboratory (1) Midway 36 of 37 US IMS stations are installed Guam Wake 35 of 37 US IMS stations are operationally certified by Provisional Technical Secretariat Hawaii Antarctica À Puerto Rico

Operations and Maintenance NACT O&M teams provide cradle to grave operational support; using Senior Operator-Local Operator concept Senior Operators are Subject Matter Experts o Conduct installation, testing and tuning o Provide operations and maintenance, preventive maintenance o Training and remote support Local Operators provide on site day-to-day support o Maintain on site station operations and facility o Replace consumables and ship samples o System troubleshooting to characterize and resolve problems under guidance of Senior Operator Two Tier Need Based O&M Structure
