Mission-Focused Capabilities
NFSTC provides specialized scientific and technical expertise to support complex operational requirements across defense and national security missions.
Site Exploitation
Training and technical support for the systematic recognition, collection, documentation, and exploitation of materials and evidence in operational environments. Our approach emphasizes practical skills, established procedures, and the integration of forensic capabilities into mission activities.
Identity Intelligence
Specialized training and technical assistance supporting biometric collection, forensic identification, and the development of identity-related information to inform operational decision-making.
Technical Exploitation
Digital Forensics
Training and technical support for the identification, preservation, acquisition, and examination of digital evidence. NFSTC helps mission partners strengthen technical capabilities and apply digital forensic methodologies in operational and investigative environments.
CBRN Forensics
Specialized instruction and technical expertise related to chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) evidence. Training emphasizes safe handling, documentation, collection considerations, and the application of forensic principles in complex environments.
Advanced Technologies
Rapid DNA
Training and technical support focused on Rapid DNA technologies, workflows, and operational considerations. NFSTC helps organizations understand technology capabilities, implementation requirements, and appropriate applications.
Test & Evaluation
Independent technical assessments, operational evaluations, and performance testing to help mission partners understand technology capabilities, limitations, and suitability for intended applications.
Built for the Operational Environment
Operational readiness requires more than technical knowledge. It demands the ability to apply specialized skills, equipment, and procedures under realistic conditions.
NFSTC bridges the gap between scientific principles and operational application through scenario-based training, hands-on exercises, and mission-focused technical support.
Our approach emphasizes the practical integration of forensic science and emerging technologies into complex environments, helping personnel develop confidence, consistency, and sound decision-making.
Training That Reflects the Mission
From controlled laboratory settings to realistic field exercises, NFSTC designs learning experiences that reinforce technical proficiency, operational coordination, and the effective use of forensic capabilities.
