ITF Overview

ITF fosters innovation by integrating key stakeholders to identify and demonstrate emerging solutions that increase security effectiveness and efficiency, improve passenger experience, and to deliver solutions that secure the freedom of movement throughout the nation’s transportation system.

Convene the aviation security ecosystem to identify and demonstrate solutions

Collaborate Demonstrate Assess

Establish the capability for TSA to quickly demonstrate innovative solutions

Measure solution effectiveness to achieve the optimized future state and provide vendors with data to improve solutions

Founded in 2016, ITF was initiated and championed by TSA out of a need heard from industry to better understand the operational environment earlier in the development cycle and from TSA to better define requirements to close capability gaps in partnership with stakeholders.

What ITF Is & What ITF Is Not

ITF solutions are…

Technological, automated, ergonomic, environmental, or aesthetic improvements

Enhancements to detection or passenger satisfaction

Inserted for a finite amount of time at existing screening locations, to conduct technical and operational assessments

Future-focused

ITF solutions are not…

Operational tests included in the formal testing and evaluation (T&E) process

Initially a permanent deployment solution

An obligation from TSA to procure solutions in the future

Surge responses to targeted needs

Local optimization efforts

Collaborating with ITF

ITF-Enabled

Demonstrations

A non-ITF stakeholder owns key planning and demonstration activities for a self-identified solution, with guidance from an ITF “coach”

ITF-Led

Demonstrations

*Schedules are subject to change

BAA Review Process

The panel performs a series of activities assessing portfolio composition, solution value, and priority alignment to select solutions.

Panel Review

Panel makes a decision:

(1) Request demonstration/proposal

(2) Refer to another office, or

(3) Decline at this time.

DecisionTechnical Review

Submissions undergo eight levels of technical review from both internal and external TSA parties. Reviews assess solution feasibility, risk, and scope.

ITF engages a cross-section of TSA stakeholders in a technical and panel review process to evaluate BAA solution submission impact, feasibility, and risk and make selections to advance in the BAA process.

Selection Criteria

Mission Alignment Solution Impact Feasibility Vendor Capabilities Resources & Funding

Lessons Learned for Vendors

Based on the two previous ITF BAA submissions and review processes, vendors should consider these lessons learned when submitting their capabilities.

• Solution Readiness: To ensure suitability for field demonstration in a timely manner after selection, solutions should be approximately TRL 6 or higher and vendors should be accurate about their solution TRL levels. An integrated capability is not considered TRL 6 if its components have not been previously integrated, regardless of the maturity of the components.

• Cost: Only provide a cost for the proposal if the costs will not be borne by the vendor. Note that TSA only provides minimal demonstration execution-related funding (e.g., travel) for qualified small businesses, as available.

• Cover Page: Please be sure to submit the IDEA cover page with your submission.

• Images: Vendors are encouraged to submit images of their solution as part of their whitepaper in order to aid understanding of the capability.

• Demonstration Format: Vendors should be explicit about how the capability can be piloted in a live airport environment. Vendors should note that demonstrations under the IDEA BAA are government-led and will be based on formats and at locations determined by TSA.

After assessing final data collection reports and assembling lessons-learned, ITF briefed agency stakeholders on a recommended course of action

A S S E S S

In coordination with agency partners, ITF collected and analyzed

Operational and Human Factors data over the course of 30 days at each location

Example data: Fingerprint Match Rate, formal questionnaires

Requires Further Research

ITF Recommended that the BAT PoC #1:

Select Prior ITF Demonstrations

Checkpoint Planning & Staff Allocation:

Forecasts passenger throughput to better plan checkpoint staffing and operations to optimize lane performance and staff scheduling.

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.

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.

Biometric Authentication Technology:

Proof of Concept 1: Uses e-gate and contact/contactless fingerprint capture technologies to validate the identity of a passenger.

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.

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.

Sample Lessons Learned

ITF has identified key lessons learned from field-based demonstrations that are informing future requirements and helping TSA shape future screening capabilities. Example findings are provided here as excerpts from detailed reports for each solution demonstrated in the field.

• Computed Tomography: Integration with a property management system with an automated belt and diverter would allow bags to automatically be sent to a secondary screening area without impacting passenger throughput or positive bag control.

• Biometrics: Identity self-verification systems require more intuitive passenger instructions in order to improve the automation of the Travel Document Checker (TDC).

• Explosive Trace Detection (ETD): Transportation Security Officers (TSO) preferred modern and technology-enabled demonstration kits due to their simplicity when starting up the system and conducting the tests.

• Bottled Liquid Scanner (BLS): The ability to screen opaque bottles has the potential to greatly reduce Liquid Container Screening (LCS)-related pat downs.

• Advanced Enhanced Imaging Technology (AIT): While the modified stance was easier for elderly passengers to perform than the current AIT stance, typical passengers had difficulty interpreting the subtlety of the stance requirements.
