  3. Transformational and Applied Research Goals for Networking Systems • Use video/imaging and spatial analysis for increased sensitivity • Example: SBIR Topic on “Embedding of Advanced Search Technique for Detect, Locate, and Track for Pedestrian-based Search” • Use networked-sensor fusion for increased sensitivity and flexibility • Example: Intelligent Radiation Sensing System (IRSS) Advanced Technology Demonstration • Exploit prior data to improve sensitivity and reduce operational burden • Increase connectivity between sensors and modeling • Accelerate timeline for search, detect, locate, track, interdict, identify, and resolve through data visualization and reporting • Example: SBIR Topic on “Smartphone Applications for Reachback”

  4. Opportunities for Networking • Leverage capabilities of smartphones or other low-cost MEMs devices • Spatial tracking beyond GPS for radiation mapping • Time synchronization and advance algorithms for tracking and locating • Robust algorithms at sensor node • Smartphone or other embedded processors • Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) • Filtering of actionable information to smallest transmission need • Connecting sensors to cloud computing and archiving • Layerlessarchitectures for scalability and resilience • Hybrid Power sources for sensors beyond batteries • System power management within networked systems
