The U.S. National Science Foundation is supporting more than 20 exploratory research projects examining the interactions of people and society with physical and digital infrastructure. Through NSF’s Strengthening American Infrastructure initiative, researchers will investigate a variety of areas — from bridges and electrical grids to online education — with the shared goal of producing fundamental…
The Homeland Defense and Security Information Analysis Center recently conducted research and analysis on possible DoD applications for CS-GAG hydrogels. Background CS-GAG hydrogels are a modification of hyaluronic acid (HA). HA, found naturally in the human body, is produced in the plasma membrane of vertebrate cells [1]. HA hydrogels have been used successfully in cell delivery and many other biomedical applications [2]. Modification of natural…

HDIAC is a DoD Information Analysis Center (IAC) sponsored by the Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) with policy oversight provided by the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (OUSD) for Research and Engineering (R&E). HDIAC is operated by…
Summary As the U.S. Army seeks to improve combat effectiveness and survivability, innovative energy systems are becoming more critical. This article outlines applications of the microgrids as they relate to U.S. Army Regulation (AR) 70-75, “Survivability of Army Personnel and Materiel” [1], survivability criteria and rapid deployment microgrid (Figure 1) successes in providing deployable power…
Summary This article explores existing alternative energy capabilities that the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) can leverage to ensure technological operability in austere environments, mitigate costs required for long-term installations, and provide clean energy considerations where feasible. It aligns with the government’s existing renewable energy generation and storage critical technology area and can provide researchers,…
Background Homeland defense and security depends on peak performance of field personnel and early detection of exposure to chemical/biological threats. Field-deployable molecular monitoring both on body or in body is finally becoming a believable near-term prospect. Introduction Humans continue to be mission-critical components, thus limiting mission efficacy in performance and health. This human-dependence highlights the…
For over a century, the chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) enterprise focused on chemicals, biological agents, radiological isotopes, and nuclear weapons proliferation. The shift from the Cold War to counterterrorism changed the employment of the mission, but the fundamentals have stayed the same. The science behind the ability of the United States to detect…
The Homeland Defense and Security Information Analysis Center was asked to provide information on recent and ongoing efforts to field small-scale wind-power designs generating ≤100 kW to serve standalone electrical loads not connected to a utility distribution system or local microgrid. Sources include work from U.S. Department of Defense entities, academic scholars, and industrial/commercial products…
The Center for Domestic Preparedness (CDP) will host the 2024 Law Enforcement Theme Week training during the week of November 17 – 23, 2024 (17th and 23rd are travel days) on the CDP campus in…
The Eastern Defense Summit, formerly known as the annual CDCA Defense Summit, brings more than 2,000 government, military, academia, and industry leaders together to better understand and address today’s challenges and threats within our defense…
Join the 2024 Resilience Week in Austin, Texas to engage with private and public partners to discuss collaborations to work together and ensure a secure and resilient flow of energy across the nation. Large disasters…
