The Department of Interior, on behalf of the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate, has issued a draft Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for innovative Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) and Automated Threat Recognition technologies for used by Customs and Border Protection and the Transportation Security Administration. This BAA is focused strictly on imaging technologies. The ultimate goal of this effort is to provide CBP and TSA with improved NII technologies for enhanced screening, examination, and detection of contraband, hidden compartments, materials for weapons of mass destruction/mass effect, and human stowaways. The NII systems will have improved penetration, resolution, contrast sensitivity, throughput, and automated material identification capability. The CanScan program is an effort to stay ahead of the bad guys (TR2, June 24). Sol. No. BAA09CanScan. Contact: Lisa Mattocks, contracting officer, 520-533-8950, [email protected].
