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 ...

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 ...

Toyon Research Corp. proposes development of a software prototype for automated 3D damage assessment in urban environments. We will document the requirements for the algorithms and software, and optimize or extend the algorithms as needed. We will implement the software prototype, leveraging and integrating existing components where possible and implementing new components as needed. We will qua ...

At a high level, the primary technical objective of the proposed effort is to Identify, obtain, evaluate, and improve datasets; Investigate the use of Meta-Learning to improve the low-shot detection performance of the feed forward network;   Extend research in multi-branch multi-domain embedding networks and semantic layouts for low-shot detection in remote sensing imagery; and Develop and implem ...

The multidisciplinary area of GEOINT is changing and becoming more complex. A major driver of innovation in GEOINT collection and processing is artificial intelligence (AI). AI is being leveraged to help accomplish spatial analysis, change detection, and image or video triage tasks where filtering objects of interest from large volumes of data is critical. NGA is confronting the changing GEOINT l ...

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 ...
