| DEMONSTRATIONS | | | | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | IDEA BAA Window 1 Demonstration Updates
ITF started the Demonstration Planning phase of the ITF Solution Demonstration Lifecycle with four of the solutions selected in the Innovative Demonstrations Enterprise Advancement (IDEA) Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) Window 1 .
XRT-4 – HumanLink’s XRT-4 is a web-based, flexible, state-of-the-art training platform that aims to provide skills and feedback to Transportation Security Officers (TSOs) to rapidly and reliably detect prohibited items, increase their knowledge of X-ray interpretation, and decrease their rate of false alarms. ITF completed demonstration planning and documentation in August 2022 and is in the Integrated Project Team (IPT) phase. ITF is tentatively planning to have a live demonstration of the XRT-4 capability in January 2023 .
Project Dartmouth – Pangiam’s Project Dartmouth uses artificial intelligence, machine learning, and computer vision technologies to highlight areas of interest in computed tomography images. ITF is in the demonstration planning and documentation phase and will conduct assessments at the TSA System Integration Facility (TSIF) from December 2022 to February 2023 .
AX-BOX Gatekeeper – aXite Security Tools’ AX-BOX Gatekeeper provides comprehensive cybersecurity tools to protect the Operational Technology systems in TSA’s fleet of legacy checkpoint and checked baggage transportation security equipment ecosystems. ITF completed the demonstration planning and documentation phase in July 2022 and is in the IPT phase. TSIF assessments and assessment report generation is ongoing through December 2022 .
Foundry – The Palantir Foundry solution is a commercial data infrastructure that integrates TSA’s operational data and translates it into human-readable objects and dynamic relationships. ITF is in the Solution Provider Readiness phase of the demonstration lifecycle. | Self-Screening
DHS Science and Technology (S&T), in partnership with TSA, leads the Self-Screening Initiative to advance the development of self-screening security checkpoint technology solutions. At the end of FY21 , DHS S&T awarded design and developmental contracts to Micro-X and Vanderlande. The initial solution demonstrations are scheduled to happen in the lab environment in 2023.
Micro-X Inc.– The Micro-X solutions focus on consolidating Passenger Identity Verification, On-Person Screening, and Accessible Property Screening to allow passengers to simultaneously divest and receive screening. The Passenger Self-Screening Concept Designs contract is creating a screening solution that uses the natural motion of passengers | | | | | removing their belongingsand provides near realtime feedback if additional screening is needed. | | | | | Micro-X Airport Screening Station Design
Vanderlande – Vanderlande’s proposed solution is to design and build a prototype automated checkpoint that combines the current PAX Advanced | | | | |
Vanderlande Solution Concept | | MX2 Automated Screening Lane with off-the-shelf passenger screening systems to create four integrated screening stations for
one screening lane.
Vanderlande’s system will also provide continuous screening for prohibited and concealed items and give passengers real-time feedback. | | INDUSTRY EXCHANGE RECAP | | --- | | Future Travel Experience 2022
In September 2022 , TSA’s
Requirements and
Capabilities Analysis (RCA) and ITF attended the Future Travel Experience (FTE) in Las Vegas. The exposition hosted attendees from across the world to share information and ideas for the future of airports. RCA hosted tours of the ACE Innovation Checkpoint at Harry Reid International Airport (LAS), observed
vendor start-up pitches, hosted an exhibition booth, and delivered presentations on digital identity and biometrics, transformative approaches to industry collaboration, next-generation seamless and secure travel, and cybersecurity. F
