... "Detection Tools and systems that may be used to monitor the performance of preventative measures (above and beyond those which are specifically supported under this topic) and detect or sense breaches in systems will be supported. Tools that enable nascent detection technologies to proliferate will be supported as well. The specific subtopics supported under this solicitation are as follows: 1. Terahertz sources and detectors 2. Systems utilizing hardened RFID and other modalities for secure supply chain management, traceability and counterfeit detection 3. Multi-scale integration tools including new-generation packaging to enable nano-micro-meso system integration 4. Compact, cost-effective, environmentally-friendly and long-lived power supplies (e.g., for widely-disbursed wireless sensor networks) a. Biomimetic b. Energy-scavenging systems c. Photovoltaic systems d. Acoustic-voltaic systems e. Other systems that provide energy densities exceeding 1000 Wh/kg 5. Proteomic-based biometric systems (Note: NOT PCR-based) " ...
