- Description
- The Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) is seeking information on a wide variety of both advanced software algorithms and developmental algorithm concepts that are applicable to security screening, in order to improve threat detection, decrease false alarms, and increase overall throughput. DHS S&T is gathering feasibility data through this Request for Information (RFI) with a view to potentially license algorithms for use in security screening. Security screening systems are deployed at the 500+ airports in the United States. These systems have been tested by the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) for use in screening personnel, luggage, and cargo for threats such as explosives, weapons, and other contraband. DHS S&T's Explosives Division (EXD) desires to enable 3rd party participation in algorithm development to improve the performance of security screening systems for aviation venues. In this context, “3rd party” refers to a commercial industry vendor that licenses their algorithms for use with another vendor’s detection system. This research project is being coordinated with the TSA's Chief Technology Office (TSA/CTO) and in conjunction with other EXD Research and Development activities. This RFI is being issued to ascertain the level-of-interest and capabilities of private industry and academia to support research and deployment of 3rd party algorithm development, suitable for use in security screening systems. White paper responses are due 5:00 PM, U.S. Eastern Standard Time, February 27, 2009. See attached RFI entitled, "Security Screening Algorithm Market Research" (Adobe Acrobat PDF).
