CMI proposes to design, model, and manufacture blast and impactresistant panels for an efficient solution for protecting bridge supports against Light to Medium range IED threats and impact from vehicles, ships, and barges. The proposed solution is an energyabsorbing MicroTrussTM panel that will be retrofitted to bridge supports or pilings with sand between the panel and bridge support to further ...

The speed at which an attack is detected is a critical trigger for all responses to follow. The accurate determination of the type of attack will determine the type of emergency personnel and response needed. The location will determine the target response area as well as determine by proximity which of the responders that are available can be first on the scene. Therefore, a system that can do th ...

Critical infrastructure is the backbone on which this country's success and prosperity are built. As a highly technically advanced nation, we rely heavily on our infrastructure to support all of the challenges of everyday life from providing power, heat, and water to communications, financial transactions, emergency services, and countless other functions without which this country would cease to ...

Resodyn Corporation has proposed an engineered materials approach for preventing or mitigating the damage caused by blast, projectiles, and fire. The proposed Sprayon Treatments for Engineered Protection (STEP) system allows flexibility in both the design of the coating and the application. Sprayable material systems are proposed that have demonstrated blast, projectile and fire protection potenti ...

Trident is proposing the development of a Semantic Mesh of Intelligent Sensors, SMIS, an intelligent wireless sensor network for use in improving the performance of surveillance and security in crowded environments - such as airports, shopping districts, and sporting events. This network will be based around Trident's existing suite of wireless sensor nodes, which offer dynamic meshing capabilitie ...

This SBIR focuses primarily on monitoring intermodal sea containers. The proposed solid-state detector is also suitable for other deployments, including embed in cell phones for a widely dispersed distributed detection network, or in planned devices such as the Intelligent Personal Radiation Locator. Furthermore other conveyances such as passenger and cargo planes, over-the-road trailers and rail ...

To support DHS's goals of developing new physiological and behavioral sensor technologies for homeland security operations that determine intent to deceive, Veridical Research and Design Corporation proposes to determine the feasibility of developing a conceptual framework and architecture for an ocular-based method of detecting deception intention. The approach is to empirically derive ocular-bas ...

This project will design a miniature wireless reagent-less sensor to detect chemical, biological, and explosive materials in solid, liquid, and vapor form. These sensors are needed to implement a wide area hazard detection network to protect the health and welfare of the public. QuantaSpec will integrate its standoff explosive detector and chemical vapor detector to fit in a cell phone. QuantaSpec ...

The objective of this program is to develop a capability for a field deployable proton accelerator system that can generate high energy protons to neutralize concentrated masses of bio-agents held in steel storage drums. The Phase I research and development will involve conceptual design of a compact field deployable proton accelerator capable of delivering protons of energy >100 MeV, and studying ...
