Technology Training and Demonstration Area

The Technology Training and Demonstration (TTD) area is a unique component of the CMC that allows visitors and CMC personnel to gain hands-on experience with technologies useful in cooperative monitoring applications. Sandia-developed technologies are displayed along with technology from other laboratories and industry. All equipment is unclassified and is not export controlled, allowing it to be applied virtually world-wide.

Technology has played a major role in the development and implementation of international security policy since the 1960s. Policy makers depend on technical experts for advice on the verifiability of potential treaties, as well as for developing technical approaches to monitoring complex new agreements. In addition, the availability of new technology expands the options available to policy makers, and influences the evolution of international security policy.

International cooperation on these technical issues is vital to the successful implementation of agreements in support of policy objectives.

In the Technology Training and Demonstration area you will see examples of

• Technical systems that were developed to verify the earliest arms control agreements between the United States and the Soviet Union and to support international organizations such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
• Cooperative approaches between the United States and Russia on fissile material and warhead security
• New opportunities for using technology to guard against international terrorism and to improve security in key regions such as the Middle East, South Asia, and Northeast Asia.
