The ChemSecure program integrates Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and sensor-based technology with the Department of Defense's existing web-based Hazardous Materials Management System (HMMS) database to automate the real-time management of hazardous materials including usage, shipment, tracking and storage.

ChemSecure, through the use of sensor based technology, monitors key indicators that accurately track the state of chemicals being stored in a specific storage facility, and sends notifications to identified responders when there is a change in state within the inventory. All collected information is not only able to provide first responders with critical information; its secondary benefits include increased shelf life management, increased security measures, and managing hazardous materials in a more controlled environment.

While ChemSecure focuses solely on hazardous material management, its broad capabilities can be applied in an unlimited number of applications. The current business model puts new requirements and concepts through a series of rigorous government tests at NASA Dryden Flight Research Center. This provides the best in Integrated Solutions for the ultimate need of a given concept.

The ultimate vision for ChemSecure is to protect the overall population. This is not limited to protection of federal facilities, but includes the communities through which hazardous materials travel. ChemSecure monitors, tracks, and provides automated notification to proper authorities. All aspects of ChemSecure are autonomously created which provides adaptability to support hazardous material management throughout ongoing shrinking and shifting federal budgets. ChemSecure protects federal facilities and the communities that surround the facilities by doing more with less.
