5 Process & Information Collaboration

6 I T F C O L L A B O R A T I O N Industry Exchange ITF collaborates directly with industry stakeholders through both traditional and innovative means in order to share information with vendors, identify new solutions/solution providers for future identification efforts, and to support global aviation security innovation efforts. WORKSHOPS AND FACILITATIONS INDUSTRY DAYS ITF hosts events for the aviation security community, sometimes focused on specific solicitations or on a specific solution/topic. The last open industry day was in June ITF facilitates collaborative working sessions and cocreation opportunities with cross-industry stakeholders at events, such as at the 2017 AVSEC World Conference. QUICK PITCH SESSIONS During open solicitation periods, vendors can pitch their solution to ITF and receive real-time feedback at a conference or event prior to submitting. ITF last held a quick pitch session at the 2017 American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE) Annual Conference. EXHIBITION BOOTHS TRADITIONAL BRIEFINGS ITF briefs industry groups, airlines, airports, the vendor community, and other stakeholders regularly to provide updates on key projects and activities. ITF establishes booths are large industry events to share information about ongoing projects and solution identification efforts and engage a large cross-section of aviation security stakeholders. ITF recently hosted on at Passenger Terminal Expo in March Recent Engagements ASAC Update, UK FASS Collaboration Workshop, ECAC Innovations in Aviation Workshop, AAAE Airport Innovation Forum Upcoming Engagements GBTA Educational Session, ITF Industry Day, Future Travel Experience 6

9 ITF- L E D D E M O N S T R A T I O N S Solution Sourcing ITF s solicitations - Allows ITF to work with transportation security stakeholders to identify solutions for demonstrations that meet TSA s needs. Enables selections based on potential solution benefit to TSA and feasibility of the proposed demonstration. Successfully executed 2 BAAs, 1 RFI, and 1 RFQ, in addition to supporting additional TSA solicitations. Innovative Demonstrations for Enterprise Advancement (IDEA) BAA Submission Goals Address Capability Gaps Release BAA White Paper Review Align to TSA Mission IDEA BAA Process Request CDPs *CDP Review & Selection Improve Passenger Experience Demonstrate *CDP Capability Demonstration Proposal 9

10 ITF- L E D D E M O N S T R A T I O N S Solution Demonstrations Demonstration Inputs Planning Execution Closeout Once solutions are selected, ITF s Innovation Guidebook provides checklists, standard procedures, and best practices for solution demonstrations. A selected solution transfers from the ITF intake process and enters the demonstration planning phase. ITF develops a detailed Demonstration Plan to identify demonstration details, including: Testing plans Concepts of operation Schedules Potential risks Data collection plans The demonstration plan is the guiding document for all demo activity. Solutions undergo certification and/or functional testing prior to demonstration. Not all solutions are formally tested. Solutions are installed in the field and activities are coordinated with local airport representatives. Demonstration begins and data is collected. Data and results are analyzed by relevant subject matter experts across the agency. ITF produces a Closeout Report summarizing all key details and findings from the solution demonstration. 10

11 ITF- L E D D E M O N S T R A T I O N S Solution Demonstration Life Cycle The ITF-Led solution demonstration life cycle allows vendors to demonstrate their solutions in the field, capture operational data, and then refine their solution for potential future engagement with TSA. Capability Gap Identification & Prioritization Cap Gap Solution Intake Process & Recommendation Steering Committee Selected Solution Validation Demonstration Planning Demo Evaluation, Analysis, and Lessons Learned Documentation Steering Committee Assessment Provide Vendor Data for Future Refinement Decision 1 Not at this Time Decision 2 Requires Further Research Decision 3 Acquire Decision 4 Procure 11

12 ITF- L E D D E M O N S T R A T I O N S Example Prior Demonstrations Enhanced Advanced Imaging Technology (AIT) Body Scanner: A millimeter wave screening technology with unique capabilities that may improve passenger accessibly, officer operation, and operational flow. Checkpoint Planning & Staff Allocation: Forecasts passenger throughput to better plan checkpoint staffing and operations to optimize lane performance and staff scheduling. Biometric Authentication Technology: Proof of Concept 1: Uses e-gate and contact/contactless fingerprint capture technologies to validate the identity of a passenger. Colorimetric Explosive Trace Detection: Identifies common homemade explosive materials and their precursors in a handheld, mobile format that can be used across the passenger journey. Proof of Concept 2: Uses data from an e- Passport to validate a passenger s identity through facial biometric matching using an e- gate system. High-Throughput Bottled Liquid Scanner: Detects liquid explosives and other hazardous materials in all bottles regardless of opacity or packaging. Computed Tomography (CT) 3-D Scanner: Uses 3D-imaging and detection software to help operators automatically identify threats and eliminate the need for divest of electronics and liquids for carry-on passenger baggage screening. 12

13 ITF- L E D D E M O N S T R A T I O N S Highlighted Upcoming Demonstrations Checkpoint Planning & Staff Allocation Phase 2: Uses third-party data and analytics to manage passenger flow, provide virtual gate capabilities, and assess operational intelligence data through national dashboard features. New Explosion Detection Capabilities: Two solutions integrate trace detection and identification capabilities into single units. An additional solution was selected to detect explosives at checkpoints. Biometric Authentication Technology Phase 2: Proof of Concept 3: Uses a mobile device connected to US Customs and Border Protection s (CBP) biometric database to confirm passenger identity. The TDC will continue to use the boarding pass to verify passenger vetting status. Proof of Concept 4: Facial Recognition and Self- Boarding e-gate integrate to form a fully biometric checkpoint using the existing Credential Authentication Technology (CAT) platform. Computed Tomography: Current CT demonstration efforts include an automated diverter solution to reduce incorrect bag pulls and a checkpoint system that will inform requirements for throughput, interoperability, system design, and training. Training Enhancement: Open architecture, customizable, training platform that combines simulator-based and online training. Solution will inform future agency-wide CT training efforts. Passenger Screening and Communications: Walk through anomaly detection systems deliver virtual pat downs ; other enhancements to the checkpoint security system include totems that aim to improve communication of divestiture procedures. 13

16 Checkpoint Design 16

17 D E S I G N Checkpoint Design ITF supports design and innovation efforts when space for a new TSA Passenger Screening Checkpoint is identified. This is of particular interest to airport authorities embarking on capital investment projects, and is applicable to all airports, not just ITF innovation sites ITF Design Activity ITF works with local TSA and airport authorities to develop designs for checkpoint demonstrations. Each design is tailored to the layout of the specific solution and checkpoint. Checkpoint Design Guide (CDG) ITF developed the Checkpoint Design & Planning Guide for airports to improve their current checkpoints and plan for future checkpoints based on innovative solutions in the field today. Future Design Activity Sites Program Office Design Activity ITF is assisting the Program Office in site surveys and checkpoint designs for their Advanced Technology/Computed Tomography efforts.
