Accuray bases this proposal on an X-ray generator, model DX500K, designed, built, and delivered to a major contractor in December 2008 as part of the DNDO-CAARS program. Accuray`s DX500K operates at single or dual energy modes of 6 MeV and 9 MeV and interleaves between 6 MeV and 9 MeV at 400 Hz. The pulse to pulse jitter is negligible -- a major performance factor in high Z detection. The system o ...

Aerius Photonics will address the need for a small, ruggedized, long-range wearable micro combat identification device by developing a compact, portable, battery-powered beacon that employs state-of-the-art mid-wave IR (MWIR), long-wave IR (LWIR) and near IR (NIR) laser technology to emit an eyesafe signal that is easily detected by presently deployed targeting pods. Phase I will demonstrate, eval ...

This SLI proposal for development of a Multisensor Wand, which we designated the Multi-Function Wand (MFW), describes a carefully planned program to reach the overarching objective of providing a sound design concept that will address the vital need for a Handheld Multisensor tool to improve the checkpoint screener`s ability to quickly make a judgment call on whether someone is concealing illicit ...

The Next Generation computer based PRND Training Application sought by DNDO requires seamless coordination of First Responder Training expertise, Video Simulation capability, Radiation Physics principles and PRND Equipment familiarity. Spectral Labs Inc. (SLI) proposes an innovative approach that brings all of these elements together to develop simulation software that provides physically realisti ...

Cybernet Systems Corporation will provide a system of hardware and software that will provide advanced data mining capability to the DHS analyst. This system is an add-on to existing DHS, not a replacement. It is intended to interface to the existing systems, provide additional capability for the analyst, and be compatible with DHS regulations with respect to data storage and handling. Its key be ...

We propose to demonstrate an integrated ride control system for high speed small craft. Our approach uses a smart EM actuator and transom trim tabs as a direct replacement for the ubiquitous electrohydraulic and electric systems currently used for static trim adjustments. Our recent IRAD efforts have produced a self contained control system which can be installed on virtually any craft within a f ...

The long-term objective is to develop a statistically sound rare variant (SNPs) detection and SNP profile comparison method, based on high throughput sequencing (HTS) and advanced bioinformatics, that is capable of detecting a mutations present in as low as 1/5000 bacterial cells in the sample. This will be accomplished in five tasks: (1) Develop and test a statistical model to predict sample cove ...

Protecting against CBRN attacks requires an understanding and identification of the aspects, assessment of vulnerabilities, determination of potential impacts, and development and allocation of the most cost-effective, productive countermeasures and defense. Conducting such analyses requires tools that facilitate decision making based on identified risks. To this end, Phase I of this effort produc ...

To address the DHS need for a non-imaging handheld multisensory system for bulk detection of threats and illicit objects hidden on a person`s body, under clothing or in body cavities, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Dielectric Relaxation Analyzing Probe (DRAP). This proposed device is based on Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). The DRAP device will offer dete ...

To address the DHS need for a downloadable commercial software application that provides personal situational awareness to individuals based on their (stated) location, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Context-Sensitive Situational Awareness Server/Client (CSSAS/C) system. This proposed technology is based on geospatial analysis and dynamic datareduction and validation t ...
