Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) proposes to develop a PCS-Enabled Unattended Radiation Detection and Attribution System (PURDAS) that will be able to detect, identify, and attribute radiological sources to specific source carriers or conveyances. The PURDAS will include a COTS gamma and neutron detection capability as well as a visible camera, onboard processing, and wireless radios. PURDAS units wil ...

The specific technical opportunity to be addressed is to take advantage of the current state-of-the-art technology available in the radiation detection space to develop a new Unattended Radiation Detection System (URDS) that will enable rapid deployment and signal integration into the end user's Security Network Platform (SNP). The objective of the Phase I effort is to evaluate component tradeoffs ...

We will develop a compact solid-state gas sensor using a novel ultrasound technology called CMUTs, invented by renowned Stanford Professor B. Khuri-Yakub two decades earlier. Although its application in gas sensors was known for some time, its challenges have so far prevented its commercialization. Aromatix Technologies has identified solution to each of these challenges, which are the subjects of ...

To address the DHS need, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new InfraRed and Optical Wilderness Location and Surveillance (IROWL) system based on the unique integration of a handheld spotting device, display, and compact multispectral zoom optics. The lightweight handheld device includes surveillance optics, infrared sensors, and display electronics to enable Border Patrol Age ...

The proposed Rivetz solution will demonstrate how priority services can easily be granted and revoked to modern mobile devices on a self-service model. The solution will explore and verify a distributed model of access control and identity verification designed to operate in the fluid and challenging first responder environment. Simple and secure priority access to data and communications will bot ...

Due to the high probability of exploiting common toxic industrial chemicals (TICs) as a weapon there is an increasing demand for rapid chemical detection technologies. A sensor that alerts the user of the presence of TICs independent of human interpretation is highly desirable. Furthermore, the sensor should be configurable as either a wearable badge or button so that it can be integrated as part ...
