Raw Data Generation Tool for X-ray Security Imaging Systems
SBC: Telesecurity Sciences, Inc. Topic: HSB0141003The X-ray intensity as measured by detectors depends on all aspects of the imaging system ranging from the source spectrum to various scatter events during the photon transport. The proposed simulator models the entire X-ray detection process from photon generation to various scatter events to the eventual detection of transmitted/scattered photons. In particular, the simulator models the two impo ...

Portable High-Intensity X-Ray Source Based on a 10 MeV Superconducting Electron Linac
SBC: Niowave, Inc. Topic: HSB0141007In the post 9/11 security environment, rapid cargo inspection has become a high priority. Cargo scanning using either radiographic imaging or active interrogation for Special Nuclear Material (SNM) requires high energy and high intensity x-rays. High intensity x-ray sources are especially important for active interrogation techniques such as photo-fission, delayed neutron & gamma measurements, p ...

Bulk Currency Vapor detection in Confined Spaces
SBC: NEVADA NANOTECH SYSTEMS, INC. Topic: HSB0132001The proposed goal of Nevada Nanotech Systems Inc for the Phase II program is to adapt a commercially available gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer instrument for the problem of detecting U.S. currency via unique vapor signature in confined spaces and then field test three prototype units, operated by government personnel, during a 6-month field test. After this test, we will provide detailed docu ...

IP Hopper (for Moving Target Defense)
SBC: CYBERNET SYSTEMS CORPORATION Topic: HSB0121002The IP Hopper is a moving target defense system that will use available network data and hopping algorithms to allow for constant IP address changing of both source and destination IP addresses. The use of "hopping" IP addresses will severely diminish an attacker's ability to attack any one target within a network. Utilizing IPv6 the IP Hopper will allow up to 340 undecillion (3.4 x 10 to the 38 ...

COTS MMW Radar for Tracking Persons within a Security Perimeter
SBC: PSQUAREDT LLC Topic: HSB0121005The implications of the proposed investigations are that radar systems already implemented for the automotive industry can be exploited, adapted and optimized for this application. These radar systems are inexpensive, of small size, employ advanced processing techniques which allow the tracking of threat targets, transmit low average power (10 milliwatts) and are proven to be people safe. We will ...

A Novel Fractionation and Concentration System for Improved Biological Detection
SBC: INNOVAPREP LLC Topic: HSB0111002Detection of bioaerosols is a cornerstone in the protection of our nation from bioterrorist and pandemic events. Rapid bioaerosol detection systems have advanced dramatically in recent years, but the lack of integratable automated sample preparation for these systems remains a major deficiency. Three significant issues are (a) a lack of an interface between large environmental samples and sample p ...

Automatic Threat Recognition Algorithm for Volumetric CT Data
SBC: Telesecurity Sciences, Inc. Topic: HSB0122002This Phase I proposal describes the development of an Automatic Threat Recognition (ATR) algorithm for volumetric CT data. Our ATR algorithm consists of four stages: (1) preprocessing of CT data, (2) object segmentation of preprocessed CT data, (3) post-processing of segmentation results, and (4) explosive detection from the segmented objects. The ATR algorithm will be made computationally efficie ...

Image Quality Assessment Toolkit for X-ray Imaging Systems
SBC: Telesecurity Sciences, Inc. Topic: HSB0122003This Phase I proposal describes (1) an automated image quality assessment (IQA) software to objectively quantify image quality of airport security X-ray imaging systems for both checked and carry-on baggage and (2) a design for a novel test phantom specialized for security CT scanners. For fixed images, automated algorithms will measure the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) and Contrast-to-Noise ...

Ruggedization of Commercial-Grade Handheld Electronics for First Responders
SBC: CYBERNET SYSTEMS CORPORATION Topic: HSB0122004Ruggedized electronics can be costly; utilizing commercial-grade hand-held computing/communication device and combining with well-designed case can provide ruggedization (impact, temperature, moisture) and extend capabilities such as integrated inclusion of smartcard/CAC readers, biometrics, and advanced barcode scanners. This program will determine the requirements for ruggedizing a device and us ...

INVESTIGATION
SBC: Applied Research Associates, Inc. Topic: N/ASTANDARD RADIATION TRANSPORT ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES WILL BE USED TO STUDY THE EFFECT OF SHIELD CONFIGURATION (SHAPE FACTORS, MATERIAL GRADIENTS) ON TARGET DOSE. SUCH A STUDY WILL ASSIST IN DETERMINING OPTIMAL SHIELD CONFIGURATIONS FOR PROTECTION OF MILITARY VEHICLES SUCH AS THE SMALL ICBM HARD MOBILE LAUNCHER AGAINST GAMMA RADIATION FROM NUCLEAR WEAPONS. PARTICULAR ATTENTION WILL BE PAID TO THE INCOR ...
