Low Profile Multi-Mode Tamper Detection Sensors

DOD increasingly relies on advanced technology in its weapons for effectiveness on the battlefield. Military technology can be compromised following foreign sales to an ally, accidental loss, or capture during a conflict by an enemy. Anti-tamper (AT) is defined as the systems engineering activities intended to prevent or delay exploitation of essential or critical technologies in U.S. weapon systems. Detection of tamper events is key to anti-tamper technology. In this SBIR program, scientists at Dymas Research propose to develop a novel, miniature, low-cost tamper sensor, which is able to detect various tamper events. The experience gained in the previous development will greatly leverage and benefit to the proposed program.
