To address the DHS's need for security of multimedia messages from the public to the Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) Public Safety Answering Point (PSAP) Emergency Communications Cybersecurity Center (EC3) within NG9-1-1 Emergency Service Internet Protocol Networks (ESINets), Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new Hardened Encryption Routing to Mitigate External Susceptibility ...

Phase I project will be the investigation and specification of the necessary algorithms and platform for detection and mitigation of spoofing attacksand compromised sensing in sensor networks. The solution addresses the three main areas of sensing security: (a) detection and mitigation with corresponding customization; (b) support for collaborative, distributed detection across Ndes; and (c) hardw ...

To address the DHS need for new remote sensor data protection and anti-spoofing techniques, Intellisense Systems, Inc. proposes to develop a new Blockchain-based Anti-Spoofing and Integrity Protection (BASIP) system. This proposed BASIP is based on redactable blockchain-based data protection and challenge-response-based spoof detection. The BASIP will offer high resilience to sensor spoofing and m ...

Device Solutions (DS) and the Wireless Research Center (WRC) are teaming to create a development plan for inNvative digital paging for emergency responders using public television ATSC 3.0.Leveraging open standards, broadcast and public safety infrastructure, modern network devices, and new wireless electronics, our approach will provide responders and incident commanders with improved pager cover ...

To address the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) requirements and strategic intent, Karagozian and Case, Inc. (K&C) proposes to develop a SECURITY MITIGATION ASSESMENT OF RISKS AND THREATS (SMART) software application for SOFT TARGETS AND CROWDED PLACES (ST-CP) which leverages advanced Geographical Information Systems (GIS) mapping softwa ...

Check point screening is key to mitigating threats in aviation transport as well as in missions protecting critical infrastructure, high-value cultural institutions, and persons, in a variety of missions from civilian security to law enforcement and corrections to military.These missions are made more challenging by the range of threats presents, from metallic weapons to liquid-based explosives.It ...

TeraMetrix is a wholly owned subsidiary of Luna InNvations Incorporated.Both TeraMetrix and Luna InNvations meet the SBIR eligibility requirements in size and Phase II conversion.We have attached Luna InNvations' registration SBC_000671230 because it includes ALL Luna employees and eliminates the question of does TeraMetrix as a subsidiary of Luna meet the size requirements. Luna as a whole, inclu ...

To address the DHS's need for a quick and efficient targeted surface interrogation technique to locate and detect trace residues of interest, including explosives and illicit drugs, on carry-on baggage and items, Intellisense Systems, Inc. proposes to develop a new rapid Targeted Surface Interrogation Scanning (TASIS) system, based on ultraviolet Raman spectroscopy and fast data processing/renderi ...

Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) proposes to develop a deep learning based spectral target detection algorithm for identification and classification of opioids and explosives that will be executed on a portable hardware solution. The proposed algorithm is designed to be spectrometer agNstic and allows for rapid training on previously untrained spectrometer platforms. The proposed hardware solution is ...

To improve the identification and detection of radio-logical materials, we propose a hybrid supervised learning and unsupervised machine learning approach to reduce the false positive rate, increase the accuracy and throughput, and augment the capabilities of the human operators. At the end of the Phase I, we will have a machine learning algorithm that is trained to recognize a variety of nuclear ...
