- Description
- DHS S&T OpEx_RFI The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) is planning to host a demonstration and operational assessment of emerging technologies in October 2016 called DHS S&T Urban Operational Experimentation (OpEx). DHS S&T Urban OpEx is a program designed to bring together urban first responder communities and technology developers to identify emerging technology solutions to capability gaps that can be applied during critical incidents occurring in urban environments. The U.S. DHS S&T's First Responders Group's National Urban Security Technology Laboratory (NUSTL) will host DHS S&T Urban OpEx with participation from a broad range of federal, state, local, academic and private sector partners. DHS S&T Urban OpEx presents an important opportunity for DHS to gain a greater understanding of the operational needs and requirements of local first responders, while enabling first responder agencies to assess new technologies before committing to investment decisions. Capability gaps and potential technologies will be reviewed with New York City first responder agencies to ensure the S&T Urban OpEx best addresses local responders' needs, interests and priorities, and benefit the homeland security enterprise as a whole. Participating first responders will train on and experiment with technologies they have identified as possible solutions to meet priority capability gaps. Industry, academia, and other Government organizations are invited to submit demonstration applications addressing innovative technologies leading to possible Government/Industry collaboration for further development of emerging first responder capabilities. Please see attached announcement for further details. Responses should be sent via email to NUSTL@hq.dhs.gov. Any technical questions should be sent to NUSTL@hq.dhs.gov. Please do not send any technical questions or responses to the RFI to the Contracting Officer.
