Description

This Homeland Security TOE covers key developments in real-time communication systems, explosives detection solution, facial recognition and personnel monitoring for security applications, criminal prediction, anti-bribery and corruption control system, disaster recovery, and first responder solutions for homeland security applications.

The Homeland Security TechVision Opportunity Engine (TOE) captures global innovations and developments related to homeland security on a monthly basis. Technologies enabling security segments, including incident management, border security, CBRNE, disaster management, cybersecurity, first responders, critical infrastructure protection, maritime security, food security, personal protective equipment, and airport security are captured in this TOE.

The need for low power, smaller, lighter sensors with enhanced performance attributes and minimal false alarms is driving innovations in the sensors space. The Sensors and Control cluster covers innovations pertaining to technologies such as wireless sensors and networks, energy harvesting, haptics and touch, MEMS and nanosensors, terahertz, ubiquitous/smart sensors, CBRNE, quantified-self, sensor fusion, M2M communications, and drones.

Keywords: Explosives detection, facial recognition, personnel monitoring, corruption control, anti-bribery, first responder mobile application
