With expanded connectivity, the spectrum of devices that are susceptible to cyber-attack is constantly increasing.Beyond this, given the increased processing power and capabilities of everyday IoT/embedded devices, cyber-attacks that previously only targeted endpoints (e.g., botnets, ransomware, DoS, DDoS, etc.) are now broadly applicable.Unfortunately, current cyber-threat detection solutions are ...

Air cargo security is critical to minimizing the overall risk to national security. However, screening air cargo with current state-of-the-art computed tomography (CT) imaging is a complex and challenging task for screeners. To address current complexities and challenges, Charles River Analytics proposes to design and demonstrate Supportive Intelligence and Fusion Technology to Ecologically Repres ...

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) proposes to develop an air cargo screening software suite that automatically parses air cargo waybills and detects and localizes the reported cargo contents within X-ray images obtained during screening. The software will utilize state-of-the-art machine-learning (ML) and natural language processing techniques to rapidly analyze and correlate manifests with associated ...

To achieve the goals for the DHS SBIR topic “MCX Server-to-Server Communication, voice communications, 3GPP-Standards” (DHS231-005) to develop a unified process, strategy, and methodology to achieving interoperability of MCX server-to-server communications and to create a test tool for conformance and interoperability testing for MCX server-to-server communications, we will develop the ...

RMD is developing a semiconductor base Spectroscopic Personal Radiation Detector (SPRD). The gamma detection is be based on TlBr and the neutron detection on LiInSe (LIS) semiconductors. These detection technologies have been under development in RMD for several years with the DHS and other government agencies support. The primary technological benefit of semiconductor detectors for gamma detectio ...

The Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project will develop and demonstrate a Battery Management System (BMS) Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing platform for the 6T Li-ion battery program. The BMS HIL platform will be designed to test BMS units in a laboratory and manufacturing environment to ensure they meet current and future requirements. The project also includes the development of a ...

CAMX Power proposes a Sequential Phase II program to follow on the Phase II DLA SBIR program “Logistically Robust, Long Life, High Power Rechargeable Battery”.  In the initial Phase II program, we designed, built, and tested a 6T Li-ion battery prototype based on CAMX Power’s proprietary cathode and zero-volt (0V)-capable high power cell technology.  The prototype and test modules were dem ...

DLA Aviation has specified National Stock Number (NSN) list identifying items where Agency would like to develop competition through the submission of Source Approval Requests (SAR’s). Surmet is a developer, manufacturer and supplier of precision optics products.  Through Phases I and II this SBIR program, Surmet plans to become an Approved Source for an item in this list, enabling participatio ...

Encapsulation materials are crucial for long-term reliability of high voltage and high temperature power device packaging as they help prevent electrical discharges in air as well as protect the devices against humidity, dirt and shock. However, the currently available commercial encapsulants are severely deficient in their high temperature performance, especially above 250C. Although several diff ...

SI2 Technologies, Inc. (SI2) proposes to develop 3D-printed for spacecraft microelectronics. Leveraging SI2’s extensive additive manufacturing experience, SI2’s low-SWaP, low-cost shielding will be designed to protect both unmounted and board-mounted microelectronics. This approach will accommodate multiple types and sizes of semiconductor packages, including 484 ball Fine Pitch Ball Grid Arra ...
