*The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology branch plans to award a follow-on contract to the Georgia Tech Applied Research Corp. under the Advanced Container Security Device (ACSD) program to meet new requirements. The existing project scope includes the technology of the Container Security Device (CSD), which consists of a small, low-power sensor mounted on or within a shipping container to detect and warn of the opening or removal of container doors. The additional requirements will include the full ACSD support for all systems engineering efforts required for development of a container breech detection system, a combination of composite container panels, with integrated breech detection grids and supporting electronics. The ultimate goal of this new contract will be to integrate the existing CSD system with the ACSD system that can be marketed to industry.
