Sandia’s California site plays a significant role in the laboratory’s homeland security efforts. Our researchers combine a deep understanding of the security issues related to a variety of threats – nuclear, radiological, chemical, biological, explosives, and cyber – with a legacy of successfully engineering scientific concepts into effective systems to provide exceptional service to our agency sponsors and industrial partners. Currently, Sandia/California researchers are actively engaged in activities aimed at securing the nation’s borders; protecting facilities and high–risk venues; equipping first responders with effective training tools; and detecting chemical, biological, and radiological threats. More detailed information about Sandia’s homeland security efforts is available at our corporate website.
