Currently all callerID displays on all cell phones are totally unauthenticated. This means that with the right software or hardware voice spammers can impersonate any corporation, individual or location. Ultimately the solution to this problem is to update the 3GPP standards and require this field to be validated and authenticated. Until that time NAND Technologies proposes to use a combination of ...

The objective of this effort is to enable US DHS and other government agencies to build mobile applications that are highly secure, establishing enterprise-wide mobile security practices for US DHS through mobile application development governance standards, best practices and tooling. It will establish mobile security standards as well as define and build-out a number of core elements required to ...

ARAI auto-injector platform was developed from the ground up to meet the DoD requirements for a Next Generation auto-injector, and offersimproved Human Factors, improved drug stability, extremely robust, glass free construction, and versatility to accommodate a broad range oftreatments and treatment combinations, in terms of dose volumes, drug formats including wet, wet-wet, and wet-dry combinatio ...

If given the opportunity, a terrorist organization such as al Qaeda could unleash Chemical, Biological, Radiological or Nuclear (CBRN) material in future attacks. Accordingly, future CBRN combat system requirements include an online network of traditional and non-traditional CBRN sensors to improve situation awareness and response to a CBRN event. The key to exploiting this advanced capability, h ...

Coordination and merging of multiple distributed sensors over a communications network can substantially improve estimates of the type and severity of potential hazards for command and control (C2) decision makers. These sensors include long range instruments such as radar, infrared (IR), electro-optical, and long wave hyper spectral; short range instruments such as Raman spectrometers; and a wid ...

Effective human-animal discrimination happens collectively at all levels of an UGS system. The ability to classify a target from ootsteps alone as human versus non-human given a single modality and sensor is challenging, thus a collaborative network effort increases the system Probability of Detection (Pd) and minimizes Probability of False Alarm (Pfa). IWT proposes leveraging inter-UGS communicat ...

Many government agencies share the need to determine the best courses of action that diminish the long range threat, vulnerability or impact from a potential event that affects our domestic population or infrastructure. We propose to develop a functional prototype of the Current Event - Future Outcome (CEFO) software we described in Phase I, which will leverage the existing wealth of domain-specif ...

Maintaining a high level of visibility in ballistic visors and respiratory protection systems is very difficult under inclement operational conditions. In particular, the transparent lenses will fog up with high humidity in the environment or breathing. There have been significant efforts in the development of hydrophilic coatings that will ‘wet out’ in high humidity to prevent fogging on tr ...

The potential danger of chemical-warfare attacks has led to an increased need for developing novel decontamination methods. The sensitivity of human skin to different chemical warfare agents (CWAs) varies considerably. As a result, the decontamination for human requires an entirely different approach from other material decontamination, especially for the wound area on the skin where could absorb ...

Luna Innovations will design and develop a hard disk unlocking system that is easily usable by forensic technicians while preserving evidentiary integrity. Our solution will be robust even against anticipated future drive features and drives modified by criminals to have certain anti-tamper properties. This is important as it is nearly certain that manufacturers or criminals will develop such coun ...
