Security at transportation checkpoints is a key strategic aspect of the DHS mission of preventing future attacks against the U.S. and its allies. The ability to freely move assets within, into, and out of the nation is paramount to national security. While DHS currently employs highly-effective explosive alarm resolution sensors (AR), these sensors require special training to operate and produce a ...

OptiPro has established itself as a key supplier for machines and processes for the manufacturing of precision optics and ceramic components in the U.S. There is now a need to advance the state-of-the-art technologies to create solutions that will provide for rapid grinding, polishing and measurement of the much-needed transparent ceramic windows required by the Department of Homeland Security and ...

Successful completion of this proposed work will ultimately result in reduced cost and lead time for large (700 x 500 mm), curved, visibly transparent polycrystalline ceramic structural components through advances in optical polishing processes. Optimax is well versed in the ceramic materials called out in the solicitation, having ground and polished them for many years on a near-daily basis. Opti ...

ANDRO Computational Solutions, LLC proposes "Project Wi5G: Methodology for Secure Coexistence of 5G and Wi-Fi 6/6E for Federal Networks" to sustain secure, fair, collaborative, spectrum efficient WiFi 6/6E and 5G cellular coexistence. Wi5G relies on the converged physical layer and layer-2 features of both technologies. The target markets for the commercialization of Wi5G are the WiFi 6/6E, 5G, wi ...

Acoustic based sensors are especially suited for small UAV detection in the Urban environment. The Leading reasons are (i) they do Nt emit any radiation, (ii) their low cost enables a dense deployment, and (iii) they are Nt affected by partial occluders, such as trees. However, the urban environment is also a Nisy one. Traffic, emergency vehicle, and other environmental Nise pollution can mask the ...

IDSS in partnership with Tufts University Human Factors Engineering Program, a leader in Engineering Phycology, proposes to study CT screening system operator burden and reduce image review time by reviewing and making improvements to the GUI and the current man-machine interaction and perform limited prototyping of potential improvement to the operator interface and toolset.

The firmware running on mobile, embedded, and Internet of things devices is often treated as a blackbox by organizations. These firmware images can contain a myriad of n-day vulnerabilities, both malicious and unintentional backdoors, and other unwanted functionality. Unfortunately, analyzing these firmware images is a difficult and time-consuming task as each firmware can be packed with layers of ...

IDSS in partnership with Tufts University Human Factors Engineering Program, a leader in Engineering Phycology, proposes to study CT screening system operator burden and reduce image review time by reviewing the GUI and the current man-machine interaction, perform a cognitive and behavioral analysis of the interaction, perform a time an motion study and recommend and perform limited prototyping of ...

Law enforcement and public safety agencies rely on the 700 MHz/800 MHz spectrum band which are affected by co-channel interference from the commercial radio networks along with unintentional as well as intentional radio frequency interferers (RFIs). The first responders need to be alerted or have prior knowledge of potential interferences at a mission site. This will enable them to adopt strategie ...
