The TAOS airborne image surveillance system

The TAOS airborne image surveillance system

TAOS is the foillow-on to the AngelFire system, an airborne image surveillance method developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory and used in Iraq to provide imagery-based surveillance to ground forces.

In 2012, testing is under way,with deployment to Afghanistan scheduled during the year.

AngelFire was deployed during the 2011 Las Conchas Fire that threatened the Laboratory. It proved the quickest way to develop a comprehensive understanding of the fire front and terrain conditions, helping responders hone strategies for mitigating and suppressing fire.

Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test Facility (DARHT) at Los Alamos National Laboratory

Dual-Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test Facility (DARHT) at Los Alamos National Laboratory

Scientists use DARHT to study key aspects of nuclear weapons physics. The information that they gain from experiments there is critical to

- support nuclear weapons life-extension activities
- help ensure the continued safety and reliability of nuclear weapons in the U.S. stockpile
- further understanding of nuclear weapons behavior
