Yotta Navigation proposes to develop Mass Fatality Tracking System (MFTS) tagging device to aid first responders in locating victims during a Mass Casualty Incident (MCI). The proposed IHM-TAG leverages Yotta Navigation’s history of developing low-cost wearable devices, along with building on Yotta’s Intelligent Human Motion (IHM) software for accurate positioning in difficult GPS environments ...

Threat materials can take many shapes and therefore this software tool must be able to perform anomaly detection instead of specific shape detection. The problem of solely relying on a database of images and a matching algorithm is that objects in the image may be shifted, rotated, or the image quality is too poor for a reliable match. Thus, this proposal focuses on the development of an anomaly r ...

Alameda Applied Sciences Corporation (AASC) proposes to develop two components of a three-component, survivable debris shield for large area test exposures to cold (1-5keV) x-rays. These elements also have commercial potential in accelerators and in radiography. The elements are: an ultrafast gas curtain designed to be located close to the x-ray source to deflect plasma debris as well as ~um siz ...

Alameda Applied Sciences Corp proposes to develop a fast pulse, portable, fast neutron source to detect SNM in the field. Our source offers a 20ns neutron pulse with a repetition rate up to 1kHz. The goal is to develop a source with 1000hrs of continuous operation at 1E8 n/s. The Ph I program will demonstrate the critical features of the source including pulse width, reproducibility and neutron yi ...

Cryo-compressed hydrogen (CcH2) offers a thermodynamic optimum for high-density, low-cost storage as a key element in achieving economical hydrogen infrastructure. Verne is developing a cryo-compressor technology platform that will convert gaseous hydrogen (GH2) at low pressures (e.g. 20 bar) and 300 K, to CcH2 (60 – 80 K and 300 – 500 bar). These systems provide hydrogen with liquid-like dens ...

Many first responder organizations at various levels, including federal, state and local, as well as non-profit agencies each have different methods of identifying first responders on scene during an incident. The lack of an interoperable and standardized credentialing solution for first responders results in more challenges with communication and coordinated access to information on identificatio ...

Tiami LLC, a socially and economically disadvantaged small business located in a HUBZone, aims to develop a first-of-its-kind reduced-order modeling solution for data communications networks. We will develop a discrete-time linear time-invariant (LTI) state-space model for a general communications network. We will then apply projection methods such as proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and bala ...

ATA Engineering, Inc., (ATA) proposes to develop and demonstrate a multiphysics framework for the radar cross-section (RCS) analysis of an ablating hypersonic vehicle in an ionized plasma flow field. ATA has developed a software toolset, known as the Multiphysics Engine, capable of modeling many of these hypersonic phenomena. It couples state-of-the-art solvers for CFD (Loci/CHEM), ablation (CHAR) ...

Makel Engineering, Inc., with subcontractors Sandia National Laboratory and American Bureau of Shipping (ABS Group)propose to develop a real-time wearable multi-threat aerosolized chemical detector (W-MACD) for use by DHS emergency response and law enforcement personnel in both land maritime operations.The wearable, multi-modal system will use a compact aerosol detector/sampler and a high sensitiv ...
