About this award
The Texas A&M University System received a $695,156 cooperative agreement from the Department of Energy's Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response (CESER) under the Cybersecurity, Energy Security & Emergency Response program (CFDA 81.008), awarded October 1, 2025, with completion targeted for March 31, 2027. The recipient will develop and implement an acoustic detection and location system integrated into a server platform designed to receive and process sensor-based event reports from gunshot detectors and other security sensors. This system will convert raw sensor data into actionable events to enhance physical security protection at energy substations, addressing critical gaps in the detection and response capabilities for energy infrastructure protection against physical threats.
This award aligns with CESER's Risk Management Tools and Technologies division mandate to develop next-generation tools and technologies that provide energy sector protection, detection, and response capabilities against physical security threats. The project represents a practical technology demonstration effort for critical energy infrastructure resilience, leveraging Texas A&M's established research and development capabilities in cybersecurity and energy systems.
Description
Gunshot detection based energy substation protection system summary the recipient will implement an acoustic detection and location system into a server that will receive sensor-based event reports from shot detectors and turn them and events from other sensors into actionable events, enhancing substation physical security.
