BlueRISC's proposed solution provides a fundamentally new approach to enable autonomous detection of exploitation attempts as well as healing of silent vulnerabilities. It follows a hybrid approach consisting of (i) new static silent vulnerability point and associated path pre-characterization concepts, and (ii) the insertion of minimal and low-overhead runtime support enabled by the vulnerability ...

The widespread use and deployment of laser systems in the public domain has led to the need for laser exposure measurement systems that operate over wide spectral range and provide sufficient dynamic range to measure exposure relative to maximum permissible exposure (MPE) limits and establish normal hazard zones (NHZ). OPTRA, Inc. proposes a solution based on multiple detector arrays, custom CMOS ...

The objective of this work is to accelerate the commercialization of the technology developed in the DHS SBIR Program under the SBIR Commercial Readiness Pilot Program. In this effort, Triton's pre-concentrator will be interfaced with a TSA approved ETD and tested with a range of trace explosives of interest to DHS. A packaging system will be designed that is appropriate for commercial use. Lifecy ...

In support of the Department of Homeland Securitys continued efforts to lead the unified national effort to secure our nation, Boston Engineering has developed the BIOSwimmer UUV (Unmanned Underwater Vehicle). This technology, developed under SBIR (Phase I and Phase II), is focused on providing a solution to searching, inspecting, and operating in challenging and constricted underwater areas in or ...

RMD is proposing the development of a Smart-phone Enabled Radionuclide Identifier (SERI), a new detection instrument designed to take full advantage of the smartphone/tablet technology. The hardware platform will include a new advanced scintillator that will provide both high gamma-ray efficiency and spectroscopic performance, in addition to providing high neutron efficiency. The unit will communi ...

"The DoD needs to rapidly add and then subsequently remove protective armor to and from civilian vehicles without altering their external appearance and without permanently altering their interior. Existing solutions are heavy, bulky, and are time consuming to install. Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) is teamed with an existing armor manufacturer to provide both opaque and transparent solutions that c ...

The objective of Phase I is to define, develop and demonstrate a modular armor system for commercial vehicles that can be tailored to the threat, is platform agnostic and which can be installed in and is in fact transferable between vehicles in the field. The proposed project will facilitate the scenario where by a SOF team would acquire a likely battered indigenous vehicle, and then convert it to ...

"USSOCOM has need for a lightweight, concealable, one-to-three legged support for modern targeting devices. Existing solutions are heavy, bulky, expensive, and take too long both to deploy and to stow when operations are complete. The Physical Sciences team of structural engineers and retired USSOCOM operators will determine the feasibility of using low-cost, commercially available materials to fo ...

Phelps2020 proposes a low SWaP solution, ARRIS, to the improvement of the range and resolution of the MX-15 turret so they equal or exceed the capabilities of the MX-20 turret. We chose to keep the MX-15 turret untouched and append to it a low SWaP accelerated processor that performs real-time FMV enhancement. A multi-layer software application addresses illumination, weather, and environmental l ...

K9 units provide valuable and unique capabilities to law enforcement operations, including pursuit, search and rescue, and contraband detection. However, there is currently no standard method for tracking the location of K9 teams or transmitting video back to the command center for situational awareness and legal documentation. Several commercial off the shelf (COTS) canine-mounted camera systems ...
