- Description
- The Department of Homeland Security Science and Technology Directorate Transportation Security Laboratory (DHS S&T TSL), located at the William J. Hughes Technical Center, Atlantic City International Airport, New Jersey will support the development of Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) Algorithms for Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) systems located at airport security checkpoints. TSL proposes to sponsor a spiral-based research and development effort that will improve upon commercially-available AIT systems to meet TSA requirements, using a system of ATR algorithms as an enabler. By exploiting the specific image features of known threats (i.e., guns, knives, improvised explosive devices, homemade explosives), ATR will aid security and efficiency at our nation's airport checkpoints. Additionally, TSL proposes to implement an Open Architecture design to the ATR system being implemented so that the AIT systems can be integrated into the framework established at a checkpoint. The goal is to implement the ATR as part of TSL's Integrated Checkpoint (ICP) program, giving the AIT the capability for modularity, to accommodate any equipment configuration required for a given airport. Additionally, the framework will accommodate growth of the algorithms for the detection of a wider range of threats as the ATR capability is developed. It is estimated that there will be two phases for the aforementioned project. Phase I will include a Government evaluation of technical reports, proposals, system design documentation, Preliminary Design Review (PDR), Critical Design Review (CDR), test plans and other documentation. It is estimated that Phase I will have a 12 month period of performance Phase II will include further development of selected algorithms as well as an application window in which vendors that had previously submitted algorithms can propose algorithms for evaluation and will conclude with the assessment of ATR systems. It is estimated that Phase II will have a 12 month period of performance The Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) Algorithms for Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) systems Broad Area Announcement (BAA) / Solicitation document will be available at www.fedbizopps.gov. and https://baa.st.dhs.gov/ on or about 18 March 2010. The contact person for this requirement is Emily Graham, Contracting Officer, Emily.Graham@dhs.gov.
