regard to architecture design, subsystem configuration, upgrades and coordinated operations, communications and interoperability. DNDO believes that an initial layer of detection may include fixed and mobile radiation portal monitors, Polyvinyl Toluene (PVT) and spectroscopic, handheld and other mobile nuclear detection devices as well as radiography systems. Funding from the SHSP, UASI, LETPP, BZPP, Transit Security Program, PSG, and IBSG Programs can be used to enhance existing or establish new preventive RAD/NUC detection programs. However, grantees must contact DNDO prior to initiating program activities and provide a point of contact for each detection program to whom DNDO can provide program guidance and updates. Please contact DNDO with this information at DNDO.SLA0J,hq.dhs.gov. D. Establishing and Enhancing Programs DNDO is working in close coordination with G&T and other Federal, State, and local entities to develop T A programs for the enhancement and development ofRADINUC preventive detection programs that support the planning, organization, equipment, training, and exercises activities (POETE model). This POETE framework matches to the Goal, State Homeland Security Strategies, and all reporting requirements for G&T grant programs. DNDO is also developing operational support systems to assist in the implementation of these programs. In FY 2006, T A will include making equipment test results available on the Responder Knowledge Base (RKB) to inform State and local agencies' procurement decisions. Additionally, in FY 2006 DNDO anticipates developing guidance for establishing response protocols; guidance on linking programs to State fusion centers; and guidance on utilizing operational support systems. Table 23 provides an overview of the types of guidance and support systems that DNDO will develop. Table 23 - TA for RAD/NUC Preventive Detection Programs Planning DNDO will provide assistance with planning and development of protocols and programs. Organization DNDO will provide guidance for organizational structures to support successful RADINUC preventive detection nrol!rams. Equipment DNDO will identify equipment and integrated layers of equipment to meet detection and response mission oriorities. Training DNDO will help States develop and implement training and training guidelines. Exercises DNDO will provide assistance with enhancing and developing exercise guidelines and support. Operational DNDO is establishing technical reachback support systems and other 24/7 information sharing Support systems State and local grantees are encouraged to work closely with DNDO as they develop preventive RADINUC detection programs in order to ensure compliance with DNDO program guidance and to ensure that national operational support systems are effectively integrated into their programs.
