1. Advance Planning Briefing for Industry30 January 2014

2. Investigative and Forensic Science Mission Mission: Identify, prioritize, and execute research and development projects that satisfy interagency requirements for criminal investigation, law enforcement, and forensic technology applications in terrorism related cases. Membership: Department of Commerce Department of Defense Department of Energy Department of Homeland Security Department of Justice Department of State Department of Transportation Environmental Protection Agency Intelligence Community National Transportation Safety Board Treasury Department
3. Separation of Complex DNA Mixtures DESCRIPTION: Develop a laboratory operational technique using mitochondrial DNA and Y-chromosomes that separates the DNA in multiple donor mixtures and then produces individual DNA profiles of each person. The system also uses computer algorithms to enhance the data that is collected from the profiles. DELIVERABLE: A field operational protocol that separates and identifies the individual donors in mixed DNA samples. OPERATIONAL IMPACT: All persons in a mixed DNA sample can be identified, which was not possible previously. REQUIREMENT INITIATOR: Defense Forensic Science Center (formerly U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Lab (USACIL)) SPONSOR: CTTSO PERFORMER: The Bode Technology Group, Lorton, VA END USERS: Defense Forensic Science Center, Intelligence Community, FBI, state and local law enforcement TRANSITION: Dissemination of the processes and software throughout the forensic community COMMERCIALIZATION: Commercially available from the developer

5. R3817 – Remote Imaging Card Unit Description: Develop a hardware-software system that can electronically scan and image suspected ID cards and transmit the data to a repository. Specifications: Operate at point-of-inspection screening locations such as airports and borders crossings. Accept easily ID cards, primarily CR-80 sized (3.375 by 2.125 inches by 0.030 inch) documents, including driver’s licenses, credit cards, passport cards. Capture all information on the front and back, including high resolution images in an automated manner. Acquire UV images of some of the security features, e.g. holograms.
6. R3817 – Remote Imaging Card Unit Specifications cont’d: Read the information on any magnetic strips. Integrate acquired data/images and transmit as an encrypted packet to a remote database. Capture all data and complete its transmission within 2.5 minutes through an Ethernet connection. Incorporate the data into a pre-existing database. Allow a forensic examiner to view the full image on a computer screen at high resolution. Transmit a message back to the submitter once an examination is completed. Hardware size cannot exceed 1 foot by 1 foot by 1.5 feet and 25 pounds.
7. R3818 – Facial Recognition/Identification From Uncontrolled Images and Video Description: Design and develop a software system that automatically scans large amounts of uncontrolled digital images and videos to detect and forensically compare faces and heads. Specifications: Operate from a range of views from straight on through full profile. Provide clustering and grouping of similar appearing faces plus facial recognition of images and video data. Allow operators to edit and correct the groupings and clustering data. Cross-match these clusters with other clustered datasets or serve as a gallery against which 1-to-N type searches may be conducted.
8. R3818 – Facial Recognition/Identification From Uncontrolled Images and Video Specifications cont’d: Emphasize analysis, detection, clustering, and recognition of image/video data that is not controlled by the acquiring entity. Provide facial recognition against a database of known and unknown faces. Incorporate technology combining general and specific facial characteristics, unusual details such as scars and tattoos, and features about the surroundings in the images and videos to identify criminals and victims. Include algorithms with computer learning techniques, biometric facial recognition enhancements, and other advanced recognition technology. Shall process at least one terabyte of photo, image, and video data.
9. R3818 – Facial Recognition/Identification From Uncontrolled Images and Video Specifications cont’d: Developed as plug-in architecture for use with commonly used computer hardware.
10. R3843 – Mobile Device Analysis Corpus Description: Develop a hardware/software system that catalogs all samples in the Mobile Device Analysis Corpus of Customs and Border Protection into a networked electronic file system. Specifications: Configure to allow easy and quick access and reporting of any information it contains. Hardware consisting of CPU, a printer that includes 2-D barcode sticker capability, scanning device, a monitor, a keyboard, a 2-D barcode reader, and a digital SLRcamera. Accept data input from the keyboard, sheet feed scanning device, 2-D barcode, and digital camera.
11. R3843 – Mobile Device Analysis Corpus Specifications cont’d: Record multiple data elements from each sample into the corpus. Accept, capture, and record digital images with a resolution of at least 1024 x 768 pixels. Generate 2-D barcode stickers. Produce reports, involving any combination of the data elements from the data, and allow users on a local network to query the system and generate these reports. Display all information pertaining to any entry on the monitor. Include and integrate CelleBriteUFED Touch Ultimate and MicroSystemation XRY in a manner that permits their features and capabilities to be used.
12. R3846 – Mobile Data Triage, Ingest, and Search Tools Description: Develop a tool to automatically ingest mobile device data, accept reports from other forensic data extraction tools, and then conduct rapid analysis and notifications. Specifications: Extract and normalize data and store it in an easily searchable repository that provides instant triage reports and alerts. Automatically ingest XML report files from common forensic tools such as Cellebrite UFED, ZRY, and Susteen. Parse the data into the relational repository.
13. R3846 – Mobile Data Triage, Ingest, and Search Tools Specifications cont’d: Provide triage reports and alerts about: Calls, contacts, chats, and Bluetooth connections to numbers that are already in the database. Images found on devices that are already in the repository, especially those that suggest steganography usage. Flagged keywords or phrases. Indicate when any device has been inside a specified area by using file metadata, Wi-Fi connections, cell tower locations, or related data. Query for higher level timelines, pattern of life analyses, social network charts, maps, and GIS datasets from acquired data.
14. R3846 – Mobile Data Triage, Ingest, and Search Tools Specifications cont’d: Compare phone numbers, locations, Bluetooth connections, and images. Search for name and number anomalies. Complete all searches and alerts in near real time.
15. R000 – IFS FY15 Unspecified Requirement Description: New, advanced, improved or emerging investigative and forensic science technologies or capabilities.

16. R000 – ISF Unspecified Requirement Specifications cont’d: General Investigative and Forensic Science Technology Faster, better, less costly, or less labor-intensive tools for identification, collection, or analysis of evidence. Applications for post-blast investigation, deployable forensics, site exploitation, and insider threat detection. Fast, low-cost methods of DNA evidence analysis from mixed sources or determining the time that biological evidence has been present at a scene. Non-DNA related technology that can identify, individualize, categorize, or compare at the macro, micro, or nano level biological evidence, materials, or organisms for forensic related applications.
