Abstract: An integrated chemical, biological, metals, radiation, nuclear, explosives sensor system I-CBMRNE deployed on a common platform supports chemical, biological, metals, radiation, nuclear, explosives (CBMRNE) surveillance systems. The common platform provides a database for collected sensor and video data, spectral analysis for sensor data, pattern recognition systems, data analysis and communications. An I-CBMRNE sensor system provides modular sensor interfaces to enable integration of any commercial off the shelf or proprietary sensor, and provides for ease of integration for new sensor technologies as they emerge. An I-CBMRNE sensor system provides critical functions for sensor support enabling accurate calibrated data to be presented for analysis.

Abstract: A standoff radiation detection and identification system is capable of detecting radiation from remote locations, such as at distances of 100 feet or more. The system can verify radiation associated with vehicles or vessels prior to them entering sensitive areas. The ability to detect radiation at standoff distances enables the interception of the vehicle or vessel for further analysis. The system combines standoff radiation detection with interceptors that can be deployed for further close range analysis of a source of radiation.

Abstract: A sensor interface system and a sensor integration module support individual sensors and sensor arrays, with network connectivity and critical functions required for analog and digital sensors when deployed in field applications used for chemical, biological, radiation, nuclear and explosives (CBRNE) material identification. The sensor integration module enables efficient integration of a single sensor or for multiple sensors into an array using a modular sensor interface unit and provides individual TCP/IP addresses for each detector element, signal processing for the sensor data and communications capabilities establishing each detector and the sensor array as network elements on a distributed network.

Abstract: A radiation, explosives, and special materials, detection and identification system includes a housing supporting one or more gamma sensors and one or more solid-state neutron sensors proximate to container contents under examination. The system collects radiation data from the sensors and compares the collected data to one or more stored spectral images representing one or more isotopes to identify one or more isotopes present. The identified one or more isotopes present are corresponded to possible materials or goods that they represent. The possible materials or goods are compared with the manifest relating to the container to confirm the identity of materials or goods contained in the container or to detect and/or identify unauthorized materials or goods in the container. A battery powered sensor arrangement is also disclosed.

Abstract: A process deploys detection devices in the carrier vehicles, collection facilities and collection boxes to determine if hazardous materials have deposited. The system is designed to provide detection, identification and measurement of chemical, biological and DNA/RNA elements. When a hazardous material is detected, an alarm notifies the worker. The system communicates with a central monitoring station that receives vehicle ID, GPS positioning and identification of the hazardous material. A HAZMAT team is then dispatched to the vehicle site. Systems that can benefit include carrier vehicles, collection boxes, collection facilities, mail carriers, cargo carriers, freight carriers, package delivery services, express delivery services, etc. The carrier vehicles may include trucks, automobiles, aircraft and ships. The collection boxes may include, containers, mail collection boxes, express delivery collection boxes, etc.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a high-speed, wireless, redundant telecommunications network that provides network flexibility and greater utilization of network resources. The system and method of the present invention provides a self-healing network capable of routing PCS/cellular voice traffic within industry acceptable standards. The network design of the present invention is based upon wireless technology incorporating the ATM protocol and provides for a multi-level network wherein each level aggregates bandwidth from the previous level. The self-healing network of the present invention eliminates backhaul, delivers high bandwidth capacity and reliably supports a high quality voice broadband network in a cost efficient manner.
