Check point screening of passengers is key to mitigating threats to aviation. This essential mission must be performed while expediting traffic flow and without discrimination to elderly or disabled travelers.The screening mission is challenged by the inaccessibility of Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) and metal detector walk-through portals to travelers with mobility disabilities and certain med ...

Yotta Navigation proposes to develop a Mass Fatality Tracking System (MFTS) tagging device to aid search and recovery teams in locating victim remains during a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI). The Phase II effort will provide the DHS stakeholders with two sets of prototype Yotta Tag devices, complete with the supporting cloud-based database and User Interface (UI) applications. The first set of 10 pr ...

Many first responder organizations at various levels, including federal, state and local, as well as non-profit agencies each have different methods of identifying first responders on scene during an incident. The lack of an interoperable and standardized credentialing solution for first responders results in more challenges with communication and coordinated access to information on identificatio ...

Tiami LLC, a socially and economically disadvantaged small business located in a HUBZone, aims to develop a first-of-its-kind reduced-order modeling solution for data communications networks. We will develop a discrete-time linear time-invariant (LTI) state-space model for a general communications network. We will then apply projection methods such as proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and bala ...

The goal of this Phase 1 SBIR is for Orbotic Systems to prove the feasibility of generating in-situ, global, ionospheric­thermospheric neutral density and wind ion data on a near real-time basis. Orbotic Systems is developing an instrument called WIND (Wind Ion Neutral Density). This proposal leverages Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 and 8 hardware and software as the basis to develop a new ge ...

"The impact of wildfires on air quality in the surrounding hundreds of miles has been discussed since the ‘70s. There have been a number of studies investigating the severity of the impact of wildfire smoke on the health of people in affected areas that have shown that hundreds of thousands of people die as a consequence of smoke-tainted air. Many studies focus on the impact of particulate matte ...

In this Phase II SBIR project, we will optimize the design and develop the growth processes and equipment to routinely produce large (through 150mm), high-quality, single-crystal cadmium zinc telluride (CdZnTe or CZT) bulk material suitable for the production of CZT substrates for producing larger and highest-performing long-wave infrared (LWIR) detector arrays. We are addressing these issues by i ...

Areté proposes a method to address a degraded environment for missile defense via advanced algorithmic techniques combined with a strong theoretical backing in physics. Approved for Public Release | 23-MDA-11635 (9 Nov 23)

Areté proposes a method to address midcourse missile defense via advanced algorithmic techniques combined with a strong theoretical backing in physics.

We propose to develop a new approach to labeling and retrieving program data: Metadata for an Exploitable Repository of Authoritative Lifecycle Data (EMERALD). Metadata assigned by interdependent automated classifiers and extractors will support precise retrieval of authoritative documents and fragments based on expressive queries. Expressive yet low overhead query formulation and browsing will ma ...
