The DHS Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) is partnering with State University of New York at Albany (SUNY-Albany) on the development of a pioneering, regional pilot program to support federal, state and local emergency responders to weather-related disasters for the development and deployment of real-time stakeholder-driven decision support solutions, referred to as EMPOWER (Exploiting Mesonets for Emergency Preparedness and Response to Weather Extremes).
Join the Science and Technology Directorate at the SIA GovSummit, May 21-22 in Washington, DC. Hosted by the Security Industry Association, the SIA GovSummit brings together the top minds in government security to discuss emerging product and policy trends, and the government’s technological needs to meet evolving security challenges
The OSS Prevalence Initiative encourages private industry and cybersecurity authorities to adopt free and readily available standards-based protocols to mitigate the risks inherent in OSS.
The Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) is evaluating the Ready Armor Protection for Instant Deployment (RAPID) barrier in realistic environments to identify operational recommendations and hardware adjustments to optimize use for DHS components.
Special Women’s History Month guest blog from Rebecca Medina, Director of the S&T Office of University Programs, looks at research and development efforts driven by some of our remarkable academic partners.
The Science and Technology Directorate’s (S&T) Chemical Security Analysis Center's Chemical Security Lab is measuring chemical and physical properties for compounds that are in the S&T Risk Assessments. This data is being used in a study designed to understand the effect of the pasteurization process on hazardous chemicals.
On National Agriculture Day, S&T recognizes the importance of agriculture to our communities and our national security.
Mobile driver’s licenses are gaining traction in the United States, though implementation varies across the nation. A mobile driver’s license (mDL) is a digital representation of a state-issued driver’s license that is stored on a mobile device. Cases of identity fraud associated with digital identities will likely increase as mDL usage becomes more widespread. As a result, investigators will need to be prepared for this new technology and know what type of evidence may support investigations.
CSAC's CSL at DHS S&T is measuring chemical and physical properties for compounds that are in the S&T Risk Assessments. The solubility of chemicals affects the dose that is delivered in the various attack scenarios in the risk assessments, and therefore accurate solubility values are important for the calculation of human health consequences.
