  1. Rapid Technology Application Program Mr. Maurice SwintonRTAP Program Managermaurice.swinton@dhs.gov Engaging the Private Sector: Homeland SecurityR&D Directions and PrioritiesAugust 23, 2005

  2. Overview - RTAP • Purpose: • Satisfy near-term technology needs of DHS customers & State and Local responders • Objective: • Deliver customers’ highest priority prototypes in 6-18 months after development contract award RTAP

  3. Overview - RTAP • Method: • Annually, help customers generate highest priority technical requirements for prototypes • HSARPA solicits the private sector and they develop the prototypes • Work with users to field test as desired • Funding: • $35M in FY05, and as appropriated each year thereafter RTAP

  4. User Commitment Crucial • Why start a near-term project without a commitment to field? • Users define requirements and priorities • Requirements generation panels formed of users nominated by their Under Secretary • Users work with S&T through field test phase • Production procurement and deployment is the responsibility of the users RTAP

  5. 2Q 3Q 4Q 1Q  Requirements Generation/refinement Panel nomination Panel deliberations Requirements validation Competitive Solicitation & Evaluation/ Selection Negotiations & Contracting Development Initiation JANUARY APRIL JULY OCTOBER Annual RTAP Cycle RTAP

  6. RTAP Requirements Generation Panels • Chemical CM • Bio CM • Explosives CM • Cyber Security • Threat Awareness (formerly TVTA) • Infrastructure Protection • Border & Transportation Security • Emergency Preparedness & Response • USCG • Federal Law Enforcement • Proposed Panel (State / Local) RTAP

  7. RTAP Requirements Generation Panels • Voting Membership • Members designated by Under Secretary or Component Head • Supporting Members • S&T Portfolio Manager • HSARPA Program Manager • Support contractors • Facilitator RTAP

  8. Voting Members’ Roles • Collect and present rapid prototyping needs of their directorate • Develop detailed Statements of Requirements • Prioritize their requirements RTAP

  9. S&T Supporting Members’ Role For each potential RTAP development effort, help the Voting Members : • Determine technical feasibility • Estimate development cost • Estimate development time • Ensure SOR is clear to the technical community RTAP

  10. Selected Statements of Requirements • Chem CM RGP • One-Person-Portable Chemical Detector CBP • Tactical Escape Mask FAMS • Bio CM RGP • 1 Rapid Suspected Bio-agent Screening FAMS • 2 Aircraft "Spot" Decontamination FAMS • 3 Biosurveillance Detection Algorithms PSD • 4 Rapid Field Identification of High Priority CBP Plant Pathogens (RFIP) RTAP
