CAPESYM INC — 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 $149,717. Cross-check similar awards in the same agency and technology tags for going-rate context.
- Topic code DHS221-008 links this award to a solicitation family — search the same topic stem for incumbents and recompete timing.

Description
The goal of this program is to fabricate and demonstrate a Spectroscopic Personal Radiation Detector (SPRD) based on semiconductor sensors, TlBr for gamma detection and LiInSe2 (LIS) for neutron detection. These compact SPRDs will meet or exceed ANSI 42.48 requirements at a low cost. The SPRDs will also have directional capabilities resulting in faster localization of the radiation threat. In phase I of this program, we will demonstrate a benchtop prototype of this system and determine the optimal design of the SPRDs to be fabricated in Phase II.
