To meet the objective of developing a strong identification and authentication machanism for DHS, that is also scalable, we propose the development of a convergent and behavior solution, that will join physical and logical security events. This solution would be composed of two layers, one is an input or identification payer which would gather input from multiple technologies, like RFID, GPS, Wi-F ...

We propose to create a system to facilitate timely, efficient, and cost-effective training of Emergency Responders. In particular, we are focused on aspects of training that are the difficult or expensive for repeated live scenarios, such as national or multi-jurisdictional response as well as CBRNE response, each of which could involve military-civilian collaboration.

Our primary concept is a distributed storage system capable of supporting organizations which scale from the small to the very largest. The goal is to build a distributed self-configuring; self-managing and self-healing file storage system which exhibits modular upgradeability and dynamic adaptation to an organization's evolving needs. Our strategy to do this is to exploit a unique scientifically ...

Simulation-based exercises offer a cost-efficient and effective method of training as opposed to live exercise participation. The use of simulation provides the advantage of capturing and analyzing consequences of decisions made by crisis management personnel. With a growing need for more simulation-based exercises, there is a corresponding need to develop scenarios quickly and easily. The critica ...

S5 Wireless has developed a patent pending low cost, low power, long range, deep reach Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum-based wireless tracking and telemetry solution for metropolitan telemetry and tracking markets. This solution is designed to be easy and inexpensive to deploy, low cost and low power, with high triangulation accuracy. S5 Wireless believes that this system offers significant advant ...

Seacoast Science proposes to fabricate a detector system for the detection and identification of Low Vapor Pressure (LVP) Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICS). The proposed system will include a Microelectromechanical System (MEMS) chemical sensor array, sampling pump and a MEMS stacked hotplate preconcentrator optimized for the selective and sensitive detection of a variety of TICS that pose a threa ...

Seacoast Science, Inc. (SCS) proposes the research and development of polymers and materials for the rapid and sensitive detection of low molecular weight toxic industrial compounds (TICs) and other compounds of interest. These sensitive materials will be selected from a broad class of linear, hyperbranched, and network materials. The relative response of the materials will be used in a Quantitati ...

At the present time, Chlorine is an indispensible commodity when it comes to disinfecting municipal water supplies. Unfortunately, `chlorine` production and storage installations are under an ever increasing threat of terrorist attacks. Thus, there is a dire need to develop alternative municipal water purification technologies that are inherently more safe and less damaging in the event of a terro ...

Solidcore¿s approach to malware-ID is to decouple packet payload analysis from the capture of packets in transit and the resulting necessity of (a) network-speed analysis, (b) analysis of large numbers of packets, only a minority of which contain malicious payloads. Phase I activities will consist of extending Solidcore¿s existing technology so that it can perform both of: ¿ malware ide ...
