\"ChemSIGMA\"As some 300,000 cheering race fans packed the stands at this year\u2019s Indianapolis 500, behind the scenes an advanced network of sensors kept constant vigilance, providing security officials real-time awareness of any potential weapon-of-mass-destruction\/terror (WMD\/WMT) threat. The deployment marked the first time that DARPA\u2019s\u00a0SIGMA+<\/a>\u00a0network seamlessly integrated radiological and chemical sensors with biological threat sensors from the Department of Homeland Security\u2019s Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD) Office.<\/p>\n

The joint DARPA-DHS sensor coverage demonstrated the powerful scaling capabilities of the SIGMA+ network. SIGMA+ expands on DARPA\u2019s SIGMA program, which detects illicit radioactive and nuclear materials by incorporating sensors to identify chemical, biological, and explosives threats.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Indy 500 provided an excellent venue to demonstrate our ability to provide a composite threat picture across all modalities \u2014 radiation\/nuclear, chemical, and biological,\u201d said Mark Wrobel, SIGMA+ program manager in DARPA\u2019s Defense Sciences Office. \u201cThe SIGMA+ network enabled real-time alerts of possible threats to be overlaid on a digital map of the raceway, so security staff could identify, with high accuracy, the type and location of a potential WMD or WMT threat.\u201d<\/p>\n

DARPA collected background air-sampling data using new chemical threat sensors known as\u00a0ChemSIGMA<\/a>\u00a0at the 2018 Indy 500. In fall 2018, DARPA conducted additional testing, which involved releasing safe chemical simulants in the empty speedway, to determine sensor efficacy in precisely identifying type and location of a plume\u2019s source. The sensors performed extremely well, proving the system\u2019s maturity for a full-scale, all-modality deployment at the 2019 Indianapolis 500.<\/p>\n

\u201cIntegrating our fixed and handheld SIGMA radiation detectors, which are now being deployed operationally, with ChemSIGMA sensors and DHS\u2019s bio sensors on the SIGMA+ network demonstrated the networking of sensors for simultaneous, wide-area monitoring of multiple threats,\u201d Wrobel said. \u201cWe\u2019d like to thank the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department for their support in executing this demonstration. We look forward to working with them and other local, state and federal partners on future pilot activities to further refine the system with the goal of transitioning the capability to DoD and DHS users.\u201d<\/p>\n

DHS\u2019s CWMD office also gained valuable experience from the Indy 500 deployment. The Mobile Deployment Detection Program, or MDDP, has been supporting the Indy 500 for five years to augment the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department\u2019s radiation and nuclear detection capabilities. In addition, this year, the Indy Police Department and CWMD collaborated on the next-generation bio-detection capability technical demonstration. The Biological Detection for the 21st Century (BD21) tech demo was installed at the motor speedway specifically to learn about the complex environmental conditions present on race weekend.<\/p>\n

\u201cData collected and lessons learned from the tech demo unit in Indy will be joined with data collected from around the country to support the design, development, and future deployment of the BD21 system to safeguard our nation against biothreats,\u201d said Assistant Secretary, James McDonnell. \u201cWe thank Metro Police Department, and look forward to continued collaboration on this critical effort.\u201d<\/p>\n
