Award Information
Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2006, $394,891)
NJIT has developed and demonstrated a technology for user identification based upon biometric determination using Dynamic Grip Recognition. It has direct applicability to safeguarding weapons from unauthorized use, accidental discharge and illegal transfer and it is a key technology towards the development of a child-proof smart gun.
The goal of this effort is to bring the smart gun technology towards commercialization, concentrating on issues such as the recognition rate of the Dynamic Grip Recognition behavioral biometric algorithm and hardware reliability. NJIT proposes to continue work on improving the recognition rate and the optimization of the signal relevance and frequency response of the sensors. This project will also concentrate on improving the hardware to accommodate the operations in general environments where vibration, temperature changes, battery life and other ambient factors become significant.
