- Description
- RFI--Wide Area Aerial Surveillance System (WAASS) The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is committed to using cutting-edge technologies and scientific talent in its quest to make America safer. The DHS Directorate of Science and Technology (S&T) is tasked with researching and organizing the scientific, engineering, and technological resources of the United States and leveraging these existing resources into technological tools to help protect the homeland. DHS S&T's Borders and Maritime Security Division (BMD) supports the DHS mission by developing and transitioning capabilities that are successfully demonstrated to improve the security of our nation's terrestrial and maritime borders. DHS S&T is seeking interested contractors that could demonstrate in an operational environment their Wide Area Aerial Surveillance (WAAS) system. The goal is to identify, evaluate, and test airborne surveillance systems for wide area and persistent surveillance of humans, vehicles, and other targets of interest to DHS's operational components, for both emitting and non-emitting threats, for all platform applications (manned or unmanned), and for use across a variety of land terrains and maritime scenes. The demonstration will be conducted during a week in Spring 2011 (target) in Nogales, Arizona, with daytime-only operations based out of the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) station in Nogales. Scenarios and test cards will be developed by DHS to showcase and evaluate various aspects of WAAS technology. See attached Request for Information (RFI) for details.
