Description

**********TSA Open Architecture Industry Day June 18, 2024******** Introduction The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is hosting an Industry Day on TSA s Open Architecture (OA) initiatives, and invites industry, academia, national labs, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) components, and government stakeholders to attend. The objectives of the Industry Day are to: Share updates on TSA s OA activities and implementation plan to meet the goals and objectives outlined in TSA s Draft OA Foundational Roadmap (posted to TSA.gov in July 2023; https://www.tsa.gov/for-industry/open-architecture) Discuss TSA s user-driven approach to developing and maintaining TSA s OA-enabled solutions Provide an overview of the OA demonstration conducted at the TSA Systems Integration Facility (TSIF) and future activities Collaboratively engage with stakeholders on topics regarding accelerating OA and future partnerships Background TSA s mission is to protect the Nation s transportation systems to ensure freedom of movement for people and commerce. To achieve this mission in an evolving threat environment, TSA must prioritize being an agile and flexible organization which can rapidly field innovative screening solutions capable of improving TSA s security posture. Leveraging an OA design approach will allow TSA to improve its security posture, support its frontline workforce, and promote an improved customer experience. OA is a design approach in which equipment components, such as software and hardware, are standards-based and interoperable to allow a wide range of industry partners to create improved subcomponents (i.e, new detection algorithms, user interfaces, reporting systems). Using this approach will allow TSA to establish a superior transportation security System of Systems (SoS) that interact with each other and provide a unique capability that cannot be accomplished independently. In July 2023, TSA published the TSA OA Roadmap (Roadmap). The Roadmap serves as a foundation for providing TSA s vision, goals, and objectives to establish a connected transportation security SoS, using OA guiding principles. The Roadmap guides TSA s OA activities and identifies short-term (within 3 years) and long-term (more than 3 years) needs to sustain success. It informs the development and management of other strategic plans, roadmaps and implementation plans across the TSA enterprise. This Industry Day supports Goal 1 of the Roadmap which outlines TSA s commitment to Engagement with government, industry, and stakeholder organizations and specifically meets the Objective 1.1 to Communicate and coordinate strategic and programmatic initiatives with government, and industry stakeholders organization and facilitate ongoing engagement.

See attached document titled "TSA OA Industry Day Announcement" for additional information. _____________________________________________________________ The purpose of this notice is to streamline and consolidate industry engagement and feedback related to Transportation Security Administration s (TSA) Open Architecture (OA) initiatives. It is expected that TSA will release multiple open architecture artifacts and this notice serves as the centralized point for future efforts. This notice will be updated as appropriate. The TSA s mission is to protect the nation s transportation systems to ensure the freedom of movement for people and commerce. To achieve this mission in an evolving threat environment, TSA must remain an agile and flexible organization that can rapidly field innovative screening solutions that improve TSA s security posture. It is essential that TSA implements these innovative screening solutions in a manner that supports the Transportation Security Officer in conducting the critical screening functions and improves the passenger experience. Open Architecture is a design approach where components, such as software and hardware, are standards-based and interoperable to allow a wide range of industry partners to create improved subcomponents (e.g., new detection algorithms, user interfaces, reporting systems, etc.). Leveraging an open architecture design approach will enable TSA to improve its security posture, support its frontline workforce, and promote an improved traveler experience. The successful implementation of this approach will require coordination across a wide range of partners to include government agencies, regulators, industry and international partners, national labs, academia, and airports. _________________________________ The attached Roadmap is being issued in draft form to elicit comments from Industry.
