A -- Tunnel Detection Technologies Project

This Presolicitation Notice is issued to replace Combined Synopsis/Solicitation BAA07-01. DHS S&T will consider a broad range of technologies but focuses on the high risk/high payoff development and demonstration of complete systems or subsystems rather than advances in basic sciences. Proposed systems and subsystems need not be composed entirely of newly developed components, and may integrate new technology into existing systems and/or subsystems. Offerors should demonstrate that their efforts are aimed at high-risk/high-payoff technologies that have the potential for making revolutionary rather than incremental improvements to homeland security, including emerging threats and operational challenges.
