1.0 DESCRIPTION
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Domestic Nuclear Detection Office
(DNDO), Systems Engineering and Evaluation (SE&E) Directorate is seeking
information on Radiation/Nuclear Detection and Identification systems that are
designed for scanning of commercial aviation passengers and their baggage in
an international terminal environment. DNDO has a mission to enhance the
capability to interdict the illicit import of nuclear and radionuclide
materials that may be used by terrorists as weapons of mass destruction or for
dispersal of radioactive materials. The ?Passenger and Baggage Pilot Program?
(PaxBag) was initiated for the deployment of radiological/nuclear detection
and identification systems at U.S. International airports.
PaxBag may lead to systems testing and operational demonstrations of
radiological/nuclear (rad/nuc) detection and identification systems solutions
that are identified in response to this document. Performers who are able to
satisfy the requirements and constraints below are invited to submit
information describing their capability and systems.
PaxBag goals are to identify and demonstrate innovative rad/nuc detection
technologies that satisfy any or all of the following:
?Scan passengers only and passengers with baggage (carry-on and checked) to
detect and identify radiological and nuclear materials present.
?Scan carry-on and checked baggage alone to detect and identify radiological
and nuclear materials present. Unattended scanning of the baggage is preferred.
?Active and passive detection and identification systems, as appropriate, may
be considered.
