Research abstract
Our team has conducted a Phase 1 feasibility analysis of developing an Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform to augment and integrate into currently available biological aerosolized detectors in support of DHS and its BioWatchProgram.The BioWatch program was stood up in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in 2003.The program currently operates in more than 30 metropolitan jurisdictions and provides early warning of a bioterrorist attack.Our goal is to significantly increase the capacity and proficiency of these devices by adding AI capabilities through computational spectral analysis.We have aligned our vision with SBIR's three phases.Phase 1 is feasibility, Phase 2 is a functional prototype, and Phase 3 is operational commercialization.Caelum Research Corporation has selected Spectromatics, LLC as a subcontractor for its specific expertise in this research and development effort.
