As a foundational component of a Layered Sensing architecture, Toyon proposes to develop a Multi-Modal Fusion Module (M2FM) capable ofconfirming detections from Chemical, Biological, and Radiological (CBR) sensing networks by fusing together information from other (non-CBR)sensors. In addition to confirming an initial CBR detection, M2FM will aid in characterizing the threat scenario by estimating ...

We propose a high performance, cost-effective, universal Digital Assay Solutions platform with Mobile Readers, Assay Development and Calibration Software, and HIPAA-compliant cloud services for global health and defense applications. In Phase II project, we have developed the first generation product family receiving considerable interest from the assay manufacturers, government organizations and ...

To address the CBDs need for a signal processing system designed to analyze and fuse data collected from chemical and biological sensors, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to further develop the Wavelet-Based Approach for Signal Processing and Analysis (WASP). WASP is based on novel application of Wavelet-based analysis to multimodal, multidimensional data available from a wide variety of ...

To address the DHS need for providing U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) agents with an innovative agent-portable device to augment situational awareness in low light/adverse conditions, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes, in Phase II, to advance the new Infrared and Optical Wilderness Location and Surveillance (IROWL) system proven feasible in Phase I. IROWL is based on the unique integration of a ...

Promoting the sharing of technical data between researchers is one of the most effective ways to advance technology development. As a result, there is a growing trend for research communities to develop websites with curated catalogs of data sets and tools. However, once a large number of resources have been collected, it can become challenging to maintain a centralized site so that potential user ...

DHS has an unmet need for measuring ultra-high-intensity, near-field blast overpressure caused by internal blast within a commercial aircraft explosive threat environment in order to facilitate characterization of blast effects to commercial aircraft structures.The goal of this DHS SBIR OATS project is to deliver advanced thin, flexible, conformable, multi-sensing-point film sensor technology for ...

This Phase II effort will develop a functional prototype of DMnet, a distributed botnet detection and mitigation system. Our Team will develop and integrate state-of-the-art research in ontology, data fusion, data mining, and data warehousing into DMnet nodes. These nodes will be distributed throughout a network and will work together in a trusted grid to provide increased cyber awareness for botn ...

Mobile devices have become the predominant commercial and enterprise product for consumers to access the Internet, and these Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors are at risk from adversarial cyber attacks. DHS S&T's NGFR Apex program is currently using mobile, net-enabled sensors to connect their First Responders. Metronome Software proposes to utilize its eCLOAK (AFRL SBIR Phase II) techn ...

Redondo Optics Inc. (ROI), a world leader in engineering and manufacturing of leading-edge nano-materials, optical sensors, fiber and integrated optics, and advanced photonics instrumentation proposes to develop and demonstrate for the first time the concept of an etch-less, deep-UV, fully continuously variable attenuated-phase-shifted mask (ConvaPSM™) technology to enable ultra-high resolution, ...

The skin is the first line of defense against chemical warfare agents including nerve agents and toxic industrial chemicals, providing a possible barrier or delay to systemic distribution. Some chemicals also can act directly on the skin including the vesicants sulfur mustard and lewisite. Early and rapid skin decontamination is extremely important following exposure to CWAs and TICs because it de ...
