In its effort to provide necessary intelligence and analysis, the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) utilizes extensive traffic camera systems. However, the large amount of data overwhelms both analysts and existing processing methods. In order to provide a better understanding and reduce the search space for common problems such as target tracking, it is necessary to extract the camera ...

Deep Neural Networks have become ubiquitous in the modern analysis of voluminous datasets with geometric symmetries. In the field of Particle Physics, experiments such as DUNE require the detection of particle signatures interacting within the detector, with analyses of over a billion 3D event images per channel each year; with typical setups containing over 150,000 different channels.  In an ...

To address the DHS's need for security of multimedia messages from the public to the Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) Emergency Communications Cybersecurity Center (EC3) within NG9-1-1 Emergency Service Internet Protocol Networks (ESINets), Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Hardened Encryption Routing to Mitigate External Susceptibility ...

To address the DHS need for new remote sensor data protection and anti-spoofing techniques, Intellisense Systems, Inc. proposes to develop a new Blockchain-based Anti-Spoofing and Integrity Protection (BASIP) system. This proposed BASIP is based on redactable blockchain-based data protection and challenge-response-based spoof detection. The BASIP will offer high resilience to sensor spoofing and m ...

To address the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) requirements and strategic intent, Karagozian and Case, Inc. (K&C) proposes to develop a SECURITY MITIGATION ASSESMENT OF RISKS AND THREATS (SMART) software application for SOFT TARGETS AND CROWDED PLACES (ST-CP) which leverages advanced Geographical Information Systems (GIS) mapping softwa ...

Check point screening is key to mitigating threats in aviation transport as well as in missions protecting critical infrastructure, high-value cultural institutions, and persons, in a variety of missions from civilian security to law enforcement and corrections to military.These missions are made more challenging by the range of threats presents, from metallic weapons to liquid-based explosives.It ...

TeraMetrix is a wholly owned subsidiary of Luna InNvations Incorporated.Both TeraMetrix and Luna InNvations meet the SBIR eligibility requirements in size and Phase II conversion.We have attached Luna InNvations' registration SBC_000671230 because it includes ALL Luna employees and eliminates the question of does TeraMetrix as a subsidiary of Luna meet the size requirements. Luna as a whole, inclu ...

To address the DHS's need for a quick and efficient targeted surface interrogation technique to locate and detect trace residues of interest, including explosives and illicit drugs, on carry-on baggage and items, Intellisense Systems, Inc. proposes to develop a new rapid Targeted Surface Interrogation Scanning (TASIS) system, based on ultraviolet Raman spectroscopy and fast data processing/renderi ...

Signature Research, Inc. (SGR) and Michigan Technological University (MTU) propose a Phase I STTR effort to develop a learning algorithm which exploits the spatio-spectral characteristics inherent within IR imagery and motion imagery.Our archive of modelled and labeled data sets will allow our team to thoroughly capture the variable elements that will drive machine learning performance.The overall ...

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) ingests and analyzes raw imagery from multiple sources to form actionable intelligenceproducts that can be disseminated across the intelligence community (IC). To effectively meet these demands NGA must continue to improveits automated and semi-automated methods for target detection and classification. Of particular concern is furthering NGA's abil ...
