- Description
- Non-Disclosure Agreement Further CNSI Information Further SSI Information The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Transportation Security Administration (TSA), intends to compete its requirement for a second generation of Advanced Imaging Technology-2 (AIT-2). The AIT-2 system is used as a primary screening device to inspect a passenger's body for concealed weapons (metal and non-metal), explosives and other prohibited items. AIT takes into account passenger privacy considerations and employs safeguards to provide the maximum level of privacy protection to passengers. AIT is being upgraded to include Automated Target Recognition (ATR) capability which reduces privacy concerns and decreases passenger processing time. AIT-2 may also serve as a platform for potential integration of metal detection and/or shoe scanning capability. The estimated release date for the solicitation is in the week of 17 January, 2012. The Request for Proposals (RFP) will be issued on this same FedBizOps webpage, with the exception of certain RFP attachments which are considered either Sensitive Security Information (SSI) or Classified National Security Information (CNSI).
