Yotta Navigation proposes to develop Mass Fatality Tracking System (MFTS) tagging device to aid first responders in locating victims during a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI). The proposed IHM-TAG leverages Yotta Navigation’s history of developing low-cost wearable devices, along with building on Yotta’s Intelligent Human Motion (IHM) software for accurate positioning in difficult GPS environments ...

Computer simulations have the potential to improve the development x-ray-based explosive detection equipment. Despite the number of available simulation tools, no existing tool meets the needs of the explosive detection community. This is due to (1) the flexibility required to model the range of objects, physical processes, and system geometries used in explosive detection, and (2) the usability ...

To address the DHS need for a single wireless device that will monitor physiological and environmental conditions of and surrounding a first responder, and relay the information to the incident command, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Wireless Physiological and Environmental Monitoring (WiPEM) system incorporating four major components: (1) an array of physiological sen ...

To address the DHS's need for 5G and WiFi 6/6E coexistence for secure federal networks, Intellisense Systems, Inc. (Intellisense) proposes to develop a new WiFi and Mobile Converged Network (WAMCON) solution. The proposed solution is based on a new radio access network (RAN)-agnostic 5G core network, WiFi 6/6E radio access network for indoor fixed or nomadic use cases and 5G new radio unlicensed ( ...

The proposed SBIR Phase I effort initiates the development of a highly-reliable, modular, and cost-effective wide-area flood sensor network system. Evigia leverages the EVX-1000 family of wireless mesh networked sensor system developed for remote rugged arctic oil-spill recovery operation to develop the proposed flood alert IoT system. The senor nodes operate on IEEE802.15.4 wireless physical laye ...

To address the DHS need for intelligent symbology technologies, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop new Web-based Intelligent Symbology Extraction based on Context (WISEC) incorporating intelligent text stream processing (ITSP), an entity-attribute-value (EVA) model, and progressive automatic creation of symbology (PACS). The WISEC will offer intelligent symbology generation, upd ...

UtopiaCompresion in collaboration with UCLA is proposing a Smart Battery system which will be compatible with a variety of energy sources, provide efficient energy management capabilities, will be manufactured on a flexible substrate for easy integration into first responder clothing, and provide support for emergency recharge and battery replacement. This work leverages our combined experience wi ...

Makel Engineering, Inc., with subcontractors Sandia National Laboratory and American Bureau of Shipping (ABS Group)propose to develop a real-time wearable multi-threat aerosolized chemical detector (W-MACD) for use by DHS emergency response and law enforcement personnel in both land maritime operations.The wearable, multi-modal system will use a compact aerosol detector/sampler and a high sensitiv ...

Traditional Chemical Warfare, Pharmaceutical Based and Non-Traditional Agents (CWAs, PBAs and NTAs) are substances that have high melting points and low volatilities which are delivered as a solid or liquid aerosols to the intended target. A person-wearable detector system that can adequately collect and prepare aerosol samples for detection based on proven vapor phase chemical sensors is therefor ...

To address the DHS need for an intelligent system to automatically process and analyze video sent from 911 callers and to efficiently share relevant content with emergency responders, Intellisense Systems, Inc. (Intellisense) proposes to develop a new Visual Information Digital Assistant (VIDA), based on novel integration of deep/machine-learning-based video analytics with multi-tiered information ...
