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 ...

The Next-Generation 911 (NG911) initiative, which aims to update the United States' emergency communications systems to be Internet Protocol-based, should bring about profound benefits in system usability and resilience. However, there is great concern that NG911 systems will be highly vulnerable to cyber- risks, both because the increased accessibility provided by the system increases likelihood ...

The increasing number of breaches and hacks against organizations demands new and more effective ways to provide defense. Increased kNwledge sharing among peers could make a tremendous difference in improving current practices, especially since the cyber landscape is a dynamically changing environment. Our goal is to develop an effective peer-to-peer platform for sharing cybersecurity kNwledge and ...

Metronome Software proposes the research and development of a VIRTICONN, a zero-trust system for Virtualized Trusted Internet Connections (vTIC). The effort aims to overcome the limitations of traditional network security to provide authenticated users access to private resources, typically via a VPN or TIC. This older approach increases the attack surface of an internal system as each user is rep ...

DHS is preserving the safety and the security of America by preventing, foiling, and defeating attacks from a variety of adversaries. The increasing threats (both in terms of numbers and in terms of abilities) must be addressed successfully while facing an austere budget environment. In order to be able to "do more with less" having a capability for optimizing the resources and the assets which ar ...

To address the DHS need for a module that can power/charge and provide effective power management of all on-body electronics including sensors, communications systems, and peripheral devices for all first responder mission areas, Intellisense Systems, Inc. (ISI) proposes to develop a new Power and Rechargeable Battery Interface Smart Module (PRISM). This proposed technology is based on a novel mod ...

The integration of new cyber technologies in emergency response systems can allow profound improvements in system performance, but also expose the systems to systemic security and privacy risks.Thus, there is a critical need for design-time risk-assessment tools for emergency response systems, which allow evaluation and mitigation of threat impacts across their heterogeneous cyber and physical com ...

The increasing number of breaches and hacks against organizations demands new and more effective ways to provide defense. Currently, most defense activities, such as monitoring, analysis, forensics, and remediation are done within house. This is unfortunate because the external knowledge and experience of others outside the organization cannot easily be leveraged. Our proposal focuses on the desig ...

Addressing the DHS need to rapidly detect radio interference of critical radio frequency (RF) communications channels utilized by first responders, Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to advance, in Phase II, the development of the Miniature Intelligent Spectral Analyzer (MISCAN) system proven feasible in Phase I. MISCAN is based on a combination of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) electroni ...
