  1. Homeland Security Advanced Research Projects Agency Mr. Tim SharpSBIR Program MangerTimothy.Sharp@dhs.gov FLC Far West & Mid-Continent Regional Meeting September, 2005

  2. HSARPA Mission Engage the private sector in research and development to satisfy DHS needs: • Satisfy operational requirements • Conduct rapid prototyping and commercial adaptation • Research and develop revolutionary options HSARPA Overview

  3. HSARPA Vision HSARPA Vision • Long-term, robust R&D management organization for DHS • Technically excellent Program Managers • Mission-driven program management • Sustainable organizational structure • Personnel refresh • Nurture private sector relationships HSARPA Overview

  4. HSARPA R&D Funding Philosophy • Competitive public solicitations • Broad array of private sector sources • Small and large business • Universities • Independent labs, consortia, and FFRDCs • Teams of all compositions • Lowered barriers to entry into HSARPA solicitation process • White Papers • Establish a teaming website • Broadened bid space • Variety of contracting vehicles HSARPA Overview

  5. DHS Strategic Partners • Due to participation and position in DHS S&T: • Excluded from proposing on many BAAs • But may provide transition-ready technology • The Strategic Partners: • Lawrence Livermore Nat’l Lab • Los Alamos Nat’l Lab • Oak Ridge Nat’l Lab • Pacific Northwest Nat’l Lab • Sandia Nat’l Lab • Brookhaven Nat’l Lab • Argonne Nat’l Lab • Idaho Nat’l Lab • Remote Sensing Lab • Savannah River Nat’l Lab HSARPA Overview

  6. HSARPA Program Defined • Coordinated R&D efforts that accomplish a specific mission-oriented objective • Delivers capability, hardware, software, prototype, algorithm, demonstration of feasibility, etc. • Defined schedule, funding, and risk management strategy: • May be phased • May include down-selects • Not just a collection of contracts HSARPA Overview

  7. HSARPA R&D Programs Overview • Rapid Prototyping $56M • 6 Programs ($21M) • RTAP ($35M) • Emerging Threats $4M • 11 Programs • Bio CM $75M • 10 Programs • Chem CM $33M • 5 Programs • Explosives CM $3M • 3 Programs • TVTA $5M • 2 Programs • CIP $4M • 4 Programs • BTS $28M • 16 Programs • EPR $5M • 3 Programs • Law Enforcement $2M • 2 Programs • Cyber Security $15M • 7 Programs HSARPA Overview

  8. HSARPA Major R&D Programs (Surveillance) • Broad spectrum sensors that warn of chemical or biological attack • More sensitive radiological and nuclear detectors • Ingenious bioassays to identify designer toxins • Advanced computer-aided methods to reduce the human burden of security surveillance • Advanced radiation detection portals • Remote detection of explosives: suicide, leave-behind, and vehicle HSARPA Overview

  9. HSARPA Major R&D Programs (Protection) • Methods to protect and secure the Internet • Novel, multi-function materials for protective suits and equipment • Better methods for managing first responders on the scene • An advanced cargo container security device HSARPA Overview

  10. Advanced Cargo Container Security BAA04-06 • Primary emphasis is on ensuring physical security • Secondary emphasis is on detection of prohibited cargoes • Six contractors selected to enter negotiations • Three under contract • External remote communications • Marine Asset Tag Tracking System (SBIR) HSARPA Overview

  11. SBIR – A Federal Research & Development Program • Mandated by Congress (15 U.S. C. 638) through 2008 • Funded by 2.5% of extramural R&D (>$100M) • Small businesses (<500 employees) can participate. • Small Business Administration (SBA) guides • All monies go to small businesses HSARPA Overview

  12. SBIR – A Three Phase Program • Phase I – Scientific and Technical Feasibility • NTE 6 months and $100K • Phase II – Concept Development • NTE 24 months and $750K • Phase III – Product Development • Private or non-SBIR government funding HSARPA Overview

  13. SBIR/STTR Participating Agencies ($2.5B FY 05) • DOD SBIR/STTR • HHS SBIR/STTR • NASA SBIR/STTR • DOE SBIR/STTR • NSF SBIR/STTR • DHS SBIR • USDA SBIR • DOC SBIR • EPA SBIR • DOT SBIR • ED SBIR New . FY04 SBIR $19.6M FY05 SBIR $ 23 M . FY06 SBIR $ ? M HSARPA Overview

  14. DHS S&T SBIR Strategy • Engage all S&T portfolios • Design topics with: • Medium width topics (not point solutions, not open topics) • Near term commercialization potential • Award multiple Phase I’s and II’s • Reduce or eliminate the gap between Phase I and II • Active involvement to reach Phase III • Encourage teaming and collaboration • Involve ultimate user HSARPA Overview
