This proposal is for an intelligent, in-line, power disconnect system (I2P) which is directly applicable to existing power line infrastructure. It requires no interruption in utility service for installation. The proposed connection would be coupled with strain sensing gauges and an array of sensors to facilitate gathering of real-time usage statistics, and assist in determining locations of dow ...

Recent data shows that reported natural disasters have nearly ten-folded over the past century. Aside from the threat to human lives, they pose a great threat to America's infrastructure and power grid. Nearly 90% of all power interruption occurs at the distribution level and over 75% of these are weather related. The proposed Phase I effort aims to combat these unavoidable threats by developin ...

Our approach utilizes a mature, portable inflatable beam shelter to house modified commercial car wash equipment operated by an automated control system. The inflatable beam shelters are currently deployed with the US Military and are commonly used as decontamination shelters for military vehicles. The commercial wash equipment is modified to withstand the caustic chemical environment necessar ...

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, rev ...

HexEffect, LLC will use its experience with both offensive and defensive computing technologies to develop a software-only root of trust (RoT) system called DynaTrust. The system will be deployable on commercial mobile devices running the Android operating system. The purpose of DynaTrust is to allow trusted execution and data storage on widely available low cost and legacy commercial devices. Dy ...

Kappler proposes to further define and develop a novel fabric composite that when integrated into Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) garments, provides protection to the wearer from multiple threats. The proposed research builds on the strength of the Phase I effort where Kappler validated the base fabric's capability to protect from chemical, biological, and flame hazards, and simultaneously be ...

TDKCs INnovative Cyber/Infrastructure Threat Assessment Environment (INCITE) is an integrated, agile work environment (AWE) capable of ingesting, organizing, and visualizing unstructured and structured data. It allows users to readily identify, analyze, and reveal first, second, and even third order effects and perform effective vulnerability analysis upon avionics systems as well as network and ...

The Public Safety Community (Community) would like to share information between jurisdictions, but need to trust with a reasonable certainty that the users viewing this information are who they say they are. Similarly, the Federal government and other organizations need to be reasonably sure that their new users are accessing the right information online. Identity proofing a user, either remotely ...

First responders use of portable electronic devices including cell phones and radios has increased dramatically over the past decade and will continue to grow with the introduction of new visual augmentation systems, wearable sensors, and mobile computing systems being developed under the DHS Next Generation First Responder (NGFR) Apex program. The large number of powered devices, each with their ...

Innovision LLC proposes an innovative and robust solution to this topic, a software tool named PASSIG (Passenger and Baggage Simulation for Synthetic Image Generation), which can be used to quickly create 3D passenger models and baggage models. These models, in turn, can be used by electromagnetic simulation (EMS) tools to generate synthetic passenger and baggage Xray and MMV images for machine le ...
