Alternative Signature Detectors for Long Range Nuclear Material Identification
SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC. Topic: DTRA162003Increasing the distance for standoff detection of nuclear materials, beyond that capable with direct radiation detection, using “alternative signatures”, such as the concentration of ionization in the surrounding atmosphere, improves the ability to locate, track and monitor this material. Ionizing radiation generates free elections, ions, and exited states in the nearby atmosphere, even when t ...

An Integrated, Electrokinetics-Augmented Microfluidic Device for Forensic DNA Analysis
SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: DTRA092003The use of WMDs and IEDs by covert insurgents and terrorists poses a significant risk to U.S. military forces and civilians. The capability to execute rapid forensic DNA analysis to identify individuals who manufactured and transported these threatening devices is of paramount importance to military mission, homeland security and civilian safety. Current DNA forensic analyses are time-consuming, b ...

A Novel Cost Effective Method for Growing High Performance Radiation Sensors
SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC. Topic: DTRA082007Certain lanthanide halides have significantly higher light output than NaI:Tl, the comparison standard for scintillators, plus other important properties, including fast decay times and excellent proportionality. Unfortunately, lanthanide halides grown by traditional melt processes have high production costs and limited availability. Crystals are usually limited to about 5 cm x 5 cm, right cylinde ...

A Novel, Microscale, Distributable Sensor Technology for Ionizing Radiation
SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: DTRA14B004Terrorist use of radioactive nuclear materials via nuclear and/or radiological dispersion devices (dirty bombs) is a serious threat. Therefore, it is crucial to detect proliferation of nuclear material. Critical challenges include: (a) high sensitivity detection of signature emissions from radioactive isotopes, and (b) cost-effectiveness for deployment of sensor networks across large storage facil ...

Application of Ultra-Low Cost Differential Pressure Sensors to the Large N Acoustic Sensor Problem
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: DTRA172001TDA Research, Inc. (TDA), designed, built, and tested a dense array of 100 very low cost infrasonic sensors. Due to their low cost (1/100x-1/10x the cost of other infrasound sensors), they can be economically deployed in very large numbers; such large arrays can gather more information than a few expensive sensors. They are sensitive from 0.1 Hz - 100 Hz down to 0.08 Pa. We tested the sensors in s ...

Autonomous navigation through small, confined spaces
SBC: GREENSIGHT INC. Topic: DTRA182002GreenSight Agronomics (GSAg) is proposing to develop a man-portable, fully autonomous aerial mapping system to satisfy the goal of the solicitation: quickly and completely mapping a confined space with no human guidance. The vehicle will have a 400 mm frame size to provide an ideal balance between maneuverability, flight time, and payload capacity. We have chosen the Pixhawk platform running ArduP ...

Characterization and Mitigation of Radiation Effects in Nonplanar Nano-technology Microelectronics
SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: DTRA092001Future high-performance integrated circuits in DoD satellite systems will require non-planar nano-technology devices, such as MultiGate Field Effect Transistors (MuGFET) or FinFET, which can decrease pattern area of logic circuits below 50% of the conventional planar technologies. The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors predicts that such devices will be the cornerstone of sub-32nm ...

Characterization and Mitigation of Radiation Effects in Quantum Dot Based Nanotechnologies
SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION Topic: DTRA082001For applications in DoD satellite systems, devices based on novel nanomaterials offer significant advantages over traditional technologies in terms of light-weight and efficiency. Examples of such novel devices include quantum dot (QD) based solar cells, photodetectors, radars and sensors. However, the response of these devices to radiation effects is not well understood, and radiation effects mod ...
