Award Data

A tracking device attached to a canine that can relay information to both the handler of the canine via a wrist or forearm mounted remote monitor and a command coordination center is very useful for the purpose of documenting the movements of the canine for court/evidence purposes, verification of area(s) that have or have not been searched by a canine during deployments, safety, and situational a ...

As technology advances, First Responders are presented with a growing suite of increasingly sophisticated sensors and communication tools that provide vital, up-to-the-minute situational awareness information about their surroundings, location and status of nearby First Responders, and personal well-being. For example, programs such as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Apex Next Generation ...

We propose research to develop a complementary pair of Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) defense mechanisms, both operating in a collaborative mode between victims and upstream providers or peer networks. For initial detection of possible DDoS attack conditions, we rely on reuse of existing work, but primarily focus on utilization of techniques that are built up on Softward-Defined Networking ( ...

Purpose of Work The proposed work will provide the government with a clear roadmap for the large-scale production of a small, low-cost, ISO-17712 compliant Disposable Electronic Bolt Seal (DEBS) which can electronically monitor and secure containers throughout the entire supply chain. The DEBS seal will detect and report open, close and tamper events to approved monitoring systems. DEBS unique ele ...

The goal of this project is to develop a validated, commercial quality reagent kit for the reliable collection of fingerprints (i.e., latent ridge impressions) that would subsequently be used for both comparison and DNA profiling. The kit would provide all required materials, reagents, solutions and would include a detailed protocol describing the steps to (i) identify latent ridge impressions (al ...

The Phase II Virtual Shooter project objective is the design, development, fabrication, assembly, and test of a 6 degree-of-freedom (DOF) device which will fully simulate the recoil reactions of a wide range of human shooters, hand guns, and ammunition types. This program is based on the work now being completed under Phase I of SBIR topic no. H-SB012.1-004, contract number HSHQDC-12-C-00039, revi ...

Under the CRPP effort, Robotic Research (RR) focuses on two objectives. First, RR will conduct Crowdsourcing Competitions to Universities and the Public to populate the Library with additional verified designs. The idea is to attract the professional student, average hobbyist, and part-time tinkerer. Since 3D printers are becoming cheaper and more readily available, building your own customized 3D ...

The proposed SBIR Phase II project will demonstrate a wearable, low-power, low-cost detector module capable of detecting 13 toxic and hazardous gases and particulate matter (PM) in air suitable for use by first-responders and fire-inspectors during active knock-down and overhaul phases of fire operation. Standard four-gas detectors are grossly inadequate not only in terms of the limited informatio ...

The Non-Freezing Portable Vehicle Wash Tunnel is a light-weight, portable and cost-effective means of disinfecting vehicles and equipment However, a critical part of the decontamination process that has yet to be addressed is the application of disinfectant chemicals to the inside of livestock transport trailers and the vehicle undercarriage -especially those that have transported potentially infe ...
