Objective Summary
DTRA seeks to establish reliable, scalable, and secure domestic sources and fabrication processes for large-format monolithic cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) single crystals in the 44 × 44 × 15 mm form factor, optimized for pixelated electrode structures that enable high-performance room-temperature 3D position-sensitive gamma-ray imaging and spectroscopy. These crystals are essential for next-generation compact radiation detection systems supporting WMD detection, nuclear forensics, and other radiation detection efforts within the Department of War (DoW).
The full objective, description, Phase I, II and III requirements and evaluation criteria are in the official topic on DSIP.
