The Future of ITF During this session, we will review the future of aviation security through the Innovation Task Force (ITF). Pursue New Solutions & Demonstrations Refine Processes We are Here! Identify Next Steps Identify Need for ITF Conduct ITF Pilot at Atlanta s Hartsfield Jackson International Airport (ATL) Replicate Automated Screening Lanes (ASLs) 3
Conducting ITF Pilot at ATL ATL is the pilot innovation lane, allowing the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to refine the process to establish and operate an innovation lane. TSA continues to develop and refine the broader ITF program based on the ATL pilot. ATL Overview Partnered with Delta, MacDonald Humfrey, Rapiscan, and Atlanta Airport Authority Assessed MacDonald Humfrey Automated Screening Lane, commonly referred to as a bin return system Held a cross-tsa Integrated Product Team (IPT) to develop processes to execute ATL innovation lane Defined metrics upfront to measure performance Developed a contingency plan to mitigate potential risk Overview of the ASL Effort These automation elements are being assessed to determine their support in increasing throughput, improving bag search handoff and maximizing efficiency in carry-on screening by reducing the time and effort required for officers to manually conduct certain activities (e.g., bin return and pulling suspected bags). ASL Benefits Parallel divestiture Automated bin return and improved recomposure Automated bin-tracking through RFID tagging Matrixed or remote screening Automated diversion and threat containment Enhanced data and reporting capabilities 4
ITF Wins at ATL ATL is a case study for ITF, allowing TSA to define the process and strategy for future innovation lane site stand-up and capability demonstration. Successes included: Identified critical path to expedite delivery in less than 9 weeks Kicked off IPT and enabled coordination across TSA and external stakeholders Developed processes and documentation to drive future ITF site stand-ups and installations Increased baggage throughput Refined training processes for 100 people in two weeks Captured lessons learned for future innovation lanes 2016 Go- Live 5
Refining ITF Processes TSA has a defined process for ITF, from site selection to lessons learned. This process was used in Atlanta and has since been refined throughout the pilot to better inform future innovation lane and ASL deployments. Continuous Loop Select ITF Site Stand Up ITF Space Select Solution Stand Up ITF Solution Conduct Lessons Learned 1. Confirm candidate site and execute visits 2. Conduct site selection committee review based on site selection criteria 3. Draft and sign Memorandum of Agreement 4. Partner with local TSA to stand-up ITF space based on a standardized standup checklist 5. Select solution based on market research or Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) responses 6. Develop a contingency plan in event of solution failure 7. Define metrics to measure performance upfront 8. Execute ITF use at the selected airport 9. Determine impact to requirements and acquisition 10. Close ITF space and sites 11. Conduct lessons learned 12. Share information with vendors and industry 6
Replicating ASLs After piloting ASLs in Atlanta, TSA is partnering with airlines and other stakeholders to deploy these machines to additional airports to address urgent needs in the field. This effort is in addition to pursuing new solutions and demonstrations. Current State of ASLs: TSA has conducted market research to determine potential solutions and requirements Requirements and acquisition strategy are being developed for future ASL acquisition, based on ATL data collection and lessons learned TSA is deploying ASLs to up to 20 airports via the Urgent Operational Need process, in partnership with airlines, airports, and the Federal Aviation Administration 7
Identifying Next Steps Summary TSA intends to demonstrate multiple types of solutions, at selected airport sites, that provide innovative approaches to solving TSA s most complex problems. What s Next for ITF? What s Next for Industry Engagement? Continuing demonstration and refinement of ASL capability and supporting processes T-BAA Closed July 2016 Planning Computed Tomography (CT) Demonstration T-BAA Feedback Shared Additional Technologies Demonstrated August 2016 On-going Planning Biometrics Demonstration Market Solicitation for Curb to Gate Solutions In development 8
