BLUEYEQ LLC — Department of Homeland Security SBIR Phase I: H-SB017.1-009
BLUEYEQ LLC — SBIR Phase I award from Department of Homeland Security.
Phase I SBIR feasibility signal
- Phase I awards fund proof-of-concept work. For capture teams, they mark early interest from Department of Homeland Security in a technical approach.
- Watch for Phase II follow-ons from the same firm/topic family — that conversion path is where budgets and transition pressure rise.
- Obligated amount $149,894. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code H-SB017.1-009 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
BluEyeQ LLC and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) are pleased to propose a persistent, unattended radiation detection network based on distributed computational intelligence. Our basic premise is long duration, "unattended" operation is only achieved by judicious use of power resources at all levels of the system. We take a holistic system design approach for maximizing detection probability while minimizing power consumption at each tier of the solution. Advanced techniques for background radiation suppression and target isotope feature extraction are investigated. By leveraging Distributed Computational Intelligence detection decisions are made efficiently at the source, and are made jointly with auxiliary sensors for reliable threat assessment and advanced modality triggering. Our research results have direct application to diverse border security and law enforcement deployments, and are compatible with application to remote machine health monitoring in the commercial Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) market.
