High-Priority Technology Needs
Abstract
DHS S&T's Transition Program is customer-focused and output-oriented. The Directorate's nearterm efforts are aligned to our DHS customers' critical needs in the form of Enabling Homeland Capabilities (EHCs), consisting of technologies that can be developed, matured, delivered, and commercialized or validated as a standard within a 3-year period. A formalized, structured process, the DHS Transition Program aligns investments to Agency requirements and is managed by Capstone Integrated Product Teams (IPTs). These teams consist of our DHS customers and critical stakeholders and are specifically chartered to ensure that technologies are engineered and integrated into systems scheduled for delivery and made available to DHS customers. Investments are competitively selected and focus on DHS's highest-priority requirements that provide capability to DHS operating components and first responders. With the addition of the First Responder Capstone IPT, there are now 13 Capstone IPTs in the following functional areas: 1. First Responder; 2. Border Security; 3. Cargo Security; 4. Maritime Security; 5. Cyber Security; 6. Information Sharing; 7. Interoperability; 8. Transportation Security; 9. Counter-IED; 10. Chemical/Biological Defense; 11. People Screening; 12. Infrastructure Protection; 13. Incident Management.
