Archived computer-aided dispatch (CAD) data has been beneficial for post-event analysis and continual improvement processes. First responder CAD data represents a potential data set that can be exploited by recently-emergent big data techniques. The criticality of first responder missions increases the importance of such efforts: the impact of CAD data analytics could be directly related to lives ...

The purpose of this proposal is to provide a platform for multiple blockchains, applications, and the analysis of blockchain transactional data. BlockCypher has already built a blockchain infrastructure that supports a multitude of applications, e.g., identify management, internet-of-things (IoT), notary, embeddable assets, predictive analytics, etc. - and runs both closed and open blockchains on ...

The Internet and mobile technologies has brought on a rapid transition from doing business "in-person" to remote. Knowing the identity of the individual at this other end of the wire is at the very foundation of trust and security of this new world. Traditional methods to prove identity, such as driver's licenses, were designed for "in-person" use, not the digital economy. Instead, the Internet ...

We propose to develop the cost effective plastic-crystal composite scintillator that can enable multi-mode detection of gamma rays, fast neutrons, and thermal neutrons. To enable innovation beyond the current state-of-the-art, the proposed easy-to-fabricate-and-integrate composite scintillator will utilize the miniature crystals of CLYC elpasolite embedded into a plastic scintillator framework. Di ...

Several security shortfalls associated with the Internet of Things (IoTs) are related to key management and distributions, which are used to encrypt, sign and authenticate messages and remotely manage participating applications. These challenges are especially difficult to address in disadvantaged, intermittent and low latency (DIL) environments, such as those faced by first responders, where the ...

The purpose of this multiphase SBIR project is to identify, define and demonstrate a range of alternatives to knowledge-based verification for remote identity proofing. Knowledge-based verification is becoming less and less secure due to the increased availability to fraudsters of personally identifiable information. The project will expand the multidimensional space of remote identity proofing ...

In this SBIR topic, DNDO has identified the necessity for an optimized PRND UI which can run on a smartphone/device and can either communicate with actual detector hardware or receive simulated input from a software component based on the user's position relative to virtual source(s). This Spectral Labs Incorporated (SLI) proposal, 'RAD/NUC Smart-device User Interface & Training Environment' (RN-S ...

The purpose of this project is to develop the CanineTRAKR system - a low-profile, ruggedized canine mounted audio, video, and location tracking system. The data collected is date, time, and location stamped and stored locally as well as transmitted real-time to the canine handler and the command center coordination, location marking, and remote canine control. The CanineTRAKR system will be design ...

This proposal explores feature representations for automatic speech processing algorithms with a focus on preserving the clients' privacy. We address two different use cases of privacy: a system that transcribes speech, but is unable to infer the identity of speakers, such as an anonymous tip hotline; and a system that identifies speakers, but is unable to recognize the communicated messages, us ...

The proposed SBIR Phase I effort initiates the development of a low-cost tamper-proof electronic bolt seal that is easy to install, and provides electronic recording and reporting without increasing the inspection time at the customs and security checkpoints. The proposed e-seal addresses the present gap in seal protecting ALL the air and maritime containers and conveyances to extend protection b ...
