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 ...

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 ...

One of the objectives of the DNDO is to dramatically reduce the amount of radioactive material in use in order to improve public security and prevent the diversion of radioactive material for Radiation Dispersion Devices (so-called "dirty bombs"). RadiaBeam Technologies proposes the development of an inexpensive, handportable accelerator to replace radionuclide radiography devices. The accelerator ...

Multi-energy radiography is a promising Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) technique for detection of Special Nuclear Materials (SNM). RadiaBeam Technologies proposes to develop an ultra-high repetition rate commercial linac system capable of pushing the multipleenergy pulse repetition rate above 1 KHz. The proposed approach utilizes an innovative, proprietary design and manufacturing technique devel ...

To address the DHS's need for 5G and WiFi 6/6E coexistence for secure federal networks, Intellisense Systems, Inc. (Intellisense) proposes to develop a new WiFi and Mobile Converged Network (WAMCON) solution. The proposed solution is based on a new radio access network (RAN)-agnostic 5G core network, WiFi 6/6E radio access network for indoor fixed or nomadic use cases and 5G new radio unlicensed ( ...

As Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile devices become increasingly popular and widely used, the security of the firmware running on these devices is paramount.However, due to the lack of an efficient and scalable analysis framework, combined with the increasing pressure to get products to market as quickly as possible, the software running on these devices is never properly checked for security vu ...

To address the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) need for a cell phone location finder for maritime and remote search and rescue (SAR), Physical Optics Corporation (POC) proposes to develop a new REmote Phone Locator for Improved Emergency Rescue (REPLIER). REPLIER leverages novel techniques recently developed at POC to extend the range of cellular communications and integrate commercial cellu ...

To address 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 develop a new Miniature Intelligent Spectral Analyzer (MISCAN) device based on a combination of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) electronic components in a custom software-defined configuration along with in ...

To address the DHS need for a handheld device for rapid, real-time, non-destructive detection of counterfeit microelectronics devices and systems, Intellisense Systems, Inc. (Intellisense) proposes to develop an Automatic Visual Inspection and Counterfeit Detection (AVID) system by applying dual-band (visible/infrared) nondestructive imaging and novel deep/machine learning-based image analytics. T ...

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 ...
