Engaging the Private Sector: Homeland SecurityR&D Directions and PrioritiesAugust 23, 2005

August 23, 2005RTAP 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

August 23, 2005RTAP 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

August 23, 2005RTAP 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
