In this Phase II effort, PEMDAS Technologies and Innovations (PEMDAS), in collaboration with subcontractor Westover Studios, proposes to develop a functional prototype of the Weather “Action Chain” Enabler (ACE) application using the technologies identified, knowledge gained, and preliminary design conceived during the Phase I effort. As designed, the Weather ACE application will be a non-intr ...

First responders such as law enforcement, fire department and emergency service personnel are subject to hazardous environments, including Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs). Protecting first responder and their long term health is a priority of the Department of Homeland Security. The objective of the proposed SBIR project is to develop a wearable chemical sensor badge capable of detecting at lea ...

Physical Sciences, Inc. (PSI) proposes to develop a Virtual Source Training Toolkit that will reduce the cost of training personnel to detect and localize a radiological source. The toolkit will be able to simulate the response of a handheld radiation detector to a virtual source using a COTS smart device and Bluetooth beacon network. The toolkit will include easy-to-use interfaces to guide the ...

AnaVation is proposing the development of two systems designed to solve the challenge of government to outside and government to government spoofing respectively, both of which would be integrated into a Comprehensive Investigate Dashboard to provide organizations with an expansive view into the types and frequencies of call spoofing attempts. The first system would be an on top, out of band solu ...

Blockchain technology shows promise when applied to identity management ecosystems. However, current blockchain technology stacks have been designed and optimized such that they are tightly coupled to a specific application area. More often than not, they focus on the transfer of financial value, not identity management. If ledger technology is going to be used to solve a wide variety of problems, ...

The S‐100 specification is a new geospatial standard for hydrographic data, that is presently under development by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO). Once the S‐100 based products and services are fully developed by the IHO, current datasets will be scheduled for obsolescence, and the Hydrographic Offices (HOs) will no longer produce them. Companies offering e‐navigation solu ...

The specific technical opportunity to be addressed is to take advantage of the current state-of-the-art technology available in the radiation detection space to develop a new Unattended Radiation Detection System (URDS) that will enable rapid deployment and signal integration into the end user's Security Network Platform (SNP). The objective of the Phase I effort is to evaluate component tradeoffs ...

The proposed Rivetz solution will demonstrate how priority services can easily be granted and revoked to modern mobile devices on a self-service model. The solution will explore and verify a distributed model of access control and identity verification designed to operate in the fluid and challenging first responder environment. Simple and secure priority access to data and communications will bot ...

Implementing continuous nuclear and radiological monitoring systems that support automatic detection and tracking of potential nuclear threats is\ntraditionally associated with a high operational burden. Sensors are typically monitored by dedicated personnel, who must investigate detection events\nin a timely manner. High nuisance alarm rates can rapidly overwhelm already taxed law enforcement per ...

The DSOM system realized in a Phase II effort will provide a modular, compact and reconfigurable system with the ability to provide unique and new information about the scene of interest (e.g. temporal and height information) when compared with traditional SAR sensors. When compared with other imaging technologies, DSOM has the important advantages of being operable through cloud cover and at nigh ...
