Description

The Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency (HSARPA) invests in programs offering the potential for revolutionary changes in technologies that promote homeland security and accelerates the prototyping and deployment of technologies that reduce homeland vulnerabilities. HSARPA is the external funding arm for the Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate (DHS S&T). HSARPA performs these functions in part by awarding procurement contracts, grants, cooperative agreements, or other transactions for research or prototypes to public or private entities, businesses, and universities. A critical area of focus for DHS is the protection of the homeland from the threat of high explosives in vehicles. In support of this critical focus area, HSARPA is initiating the ??Prototypes and Technology for Improvised Explosives Device Detection?? (PTIEDD) Program. Its goals are: ?X To develop, rapid prototype, and improve products and systems capable of detecting explosive compounds in vehicles; ?X To support research and development of next generation or novel technologies or prototypes for detection of improvised explosives in vehicles, in leave-behind packages, or carried by suicide bombers. This BAA consists of two Technical Topic Areas (TTAs) described in Section 3 of the Proposal Information Pamphlet (PIP). Further details about this solicitation, including application information, are described in a Proposal Information Pamphlet (PIP) for BAA 05-03, which can be downloaded from www.hsarpabaa.com. The BAA is structured to solicit Proposals for near term projects (TTA-1) where pre-production working prototypes are to be delivered and evaluated within 9 to 18 months after award. In addition, Proposals are also solicited to design, develop, and demonstrate future or novel technologies and devices (TTA-2) that will significantly advance the state of the art in each critical area. It is anticipated that prototypes will be delivered under TTA-2 no later than 60 months after award.
