A partnership between CIMES, BORDERS and USAF, under the direction of Dr. Kevin Montgomery from Intelesense Technologies, has received funding to conduct research and development of advanced sensor systems in support of USAF Surgeon General needs in the area of directed energy detection and other sensing. The objective of the effort is to develop and refine a modular sensing platform built into a ruggedized monitoring device. A second optional phase of the project involves conversion of the sensing prototype for airborne unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) use.

Education and Training of Students on Maritime Domain and Port Security at UPRM

CIMES researchers at the University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez (UPRM) successfully solicited funding for their program entitled “Education and Training of Students on Maritime Domain and Port Security at UPRM” from the DHS’ Scientific Leadership Awards for Minority Serving Institutions Granting Bachelor Degrees. The three-year project, led by Drs. Vidya Manian (PI), Hector Carlo (Co-PI) and Miguel Canals (Co-PI from CSR), will increase minority participation in DHS-related science and technology by the addition of course modules that will have a broader audience. The expectation is that about 100 students per year will be impacted by the course additions.
