The Synthetik team is pleased to provide this Phase I SBIR proposal to develop a distributed, interoperable, ISO 18013-5-compliant and mdoc-based digital software badge (DSB). The DSB will provide the capability to prove a first responder personnel’s identity and qualifications onsite securely and efficiently in a disaster response operating environment.During Phase I we will demonstrate th ...

There is a lack of specific, low-cost, rapid, sensitive, fieldable detection systems for animal/zoonotic disease that can simultaneously test for multiple diseases in a single test. State of the art field-detection kits for animal diseases consist mainly of ELISA test kits and PCR devices. However, both these techniques can only test for a single disease per test, thus screening for multiple disea ...

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) frontline personnel face enormous challenges to identify counterfeit State licenses in an operational setting. With printing technology continuing to advance and become more affordable, it is no surprise that United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Fraud Document Analysis Unit (FDAU) has seized an exponentially increasing number of high-quality count ...

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) frontline personnel face enormous challenges to identify counterfeit State licenses in an operational setting.Visible and covert security features have been replicated and simulated by counterfeiters, so they do not appear anomalous.Intelligent Payload Solutions has developed an Intelligent Document Fingerprint (IDF) that can be added to existing State and oth ...

The Synthetik team is uniquely placed to conduct this Phase II SBIR effort where we plan to extend and optimize our DeepSpektra high-resolution hyperspectral and deep learning-based non-contact detection technology to provide enhanced, targeted sampling for explosive and illegal drugs trace detection that was successfully demonstrated in Phase I.Synthetik's DeepSpektra technology directly addresse ...

Bioaerosols, including viruses, bacteria and toxins, are a threat to human life, socioeconomic stability and national security.A sensitive, accurate, field-deployable detection system capable of rapidly identifying multiple aerosolized pathogens would be a strong defense, but collecting a representative sample of all relevant airborne particles can be challenging because biological particles range ...

Currently fielded aviation passenger screening systems are large, fixed systems capable of detecting concealed objects on a person. While this approach is useful for standard passenger screening, there are additional requirements for a handheld system to enable concepts of operations that the fixed systems canNt accommodate.Previous systems have tended to be passive systems that lack the resolutio ...

Detection of explosives and illicit drugs at strategic points such as airport terminals and borders remains a critical part of the DHS's mission to ensure the nation's security and safety. For explosive trace detection (ETD), the emphasis on speed without compromising sensitivity requires inNvation in the sampling step as it dictates to a large extent how quickly an analyzer can perform its functi ...

Synthetik propose to leverage a new generation of high-resolution, low-cost (e.g. less than $1,000, 25-100x less than currently available systems) hyperspectral cameras in conjunction with state-of-the-art machine learning to rapidly image, process and predict locations where residues of interest are present to deliver a targeted, relevant and more dense samples to the trace detector.During Phase ...
