Modeling and Simulation for Secure Border Initiative (SBI) Systems
Focus Area Overview: In particular, improved modeling and simulation of the systems associated with Secure Border Initiative (SBI).
Renewable Energy (RE) Sources and Power Management Focus Area
Focus Area Overview: RE sources and power management that will reduce routine maintenance and operations in varying operational environments (northern and southern), in particular, alternative power solutions for sensors including unattended ground sensors. Additionally, power management coupled with renewable energy to increase effectiveness and efficiency of border/maritime areas including: radars, cooled infrared (IR) cameras, communications devices.
Intelligence-Driven Operations Incorporating Non-Traditional Data Focus Area
Focus Area Overview: In particular, combine and process traditional data (such as intelligence information, sensor data, federal information, state and local law enforcement information) with non-traditional data (such as country's state of economy, country's unemployment level) to aid decision makers in assessment and prediction.
Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) Improvements and Alternatives Focus Area
Focus Area Overview: In particular, RFID or alternative to RFID that can be easily read/transmitted/tracked when RFID'd cargo is shipped in pallet form.
