Innovations in Rescue Robots, Traffic Surveillance System, Environmental Sensors, and Endpoint Security

Description

This Homeland Security TOE covers recent developments in rescue robots, traffic surveillance systems, environmental sensors, and endpoint security. Innovations include rescue robots to help trapped victims, a smart traffic surveillance system for ensuring smooth traffic flow, end point protection using default deny, sensors to track harmful chemicals, artificial intelligence to identify counterfeit products, an intrusion detection solution for border security force, AppDefense to monitor application layer, and an artificial intelligence-based surveillance solution.

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.
