Credential Authentication Technology (CAT)
8
CAT validates passenger self-reported biographic information and vetting status via connection back to Secure Flight, and authenticates government-issued identification (ID) for the detection of fraudulent or expired IDs.
CAT Testing Airport Locations and Start Dates
Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP) Units
• 17 CAT LRIP units purchased (April 2014 – May 2015)• 30 additional CAT LRIP units purchased (May 2017)
Developmental Testing (DT)
• Testing will be conducted at multiple locations• Focus will be on system performance and SOP development
Airport Start DateWashington Dulles International Airport (IAD) 5/19/2017
Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA)
6/12/2017
Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) 6/27/2017
Austin-Bergstrom International Airport (AUS) 7/5/2017
Logan International Airport (BOS) 7/17/2017
Airport Start DateHartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)
8/4/2017
Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) TBD
Miami International Airport (MIA) TBD
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) TBD
Computed Tomography (CT)
9
CT utilizes 3D-imaging and detection software to help operators automatically identify threats and eliminate the need for divestiture of electronics for carry-on passenger baggage screening. PSP will be testing CT against AT-2 requirements.
• TSIF Testing (AT-2 Requirements)FY17
• Purchase of two (2) test units (tentative)• Operational Testing (location TBD)
o OT standalone configurations; no ASL integration
FY18
• Purchase of CT units in support of airport growth operationsFY18-19

Prospective New Programs:
1. Primary Passenger Screening (PPS) will consist of replacement capabilities for AIT, CAT, and WTMD
2. Accessible Property Screening System (APSS) will consist of replacement capabilities for BLS, AT, and secondary screening (e.g., CT technology)
3. Alarm Resolution Program (ARP) will consist of replacement capabilities for ETD
4. Automated Screening Lanes (ASLs) will consist of modification of existing carry-on baggage screening lanes to automate elements of the screening process
TSA plans to sunset the existing Passenger Screening Program and initiate new efforts featuring new screening capability technologies, equipment, and engineering initiatives.
