Distributed Micro Sensors CE

The USSOCOM is seeking solutions for distributed micro sensors that can detect diverse threats in forward conflict zones. The sensors should be low-cost, disposable, and capable of targeting seismic, toxic, and signal hazards. The event aims to identify suites of micro-sensors that can be quickly deployed to form wireless mesh networks, enabling timely and informed tactical decisions. The key areas of interest include power supply for extended duration, acoustic sensing, communications and waveform propagation, novel employment/deployment strategies, and novel sensor degradation. • Power supply for extended duration (up to 30 days) • Acoustic sensing • Communications and waveform propagation • Novel employment/deployment strategies and techniques • Novel sensor degradation (drop and forget, self-destroying) • Automation for sensor triggering
