The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Transportation Security Administration (TSA), Transportation Security Laboratory (TSL) located in New Jersey, is soliciting proposals for Grants to enhance the performance and usability of current bulk explosives detection systems intended for use in screening air cargo by improving the performance of subsystems and/or components of these systems. . Bulk technologies considered to date for screening air cargo have generally been found to be large, slow and expensive. The bulk technologies being considered use neutron or photon based methods. Increasing the usability of these techniques, in terms of performance and/or cost, requires improvements to data acquisition systems (detector and associated signal processing electronics) and/or sources of probing radiation (neutrons/photons). In general, this is an effort to seek data acquisition systems with higher per channel throughput rates and better energy resolution and probe sources with better characteristics (brightness, flux, time structure, size, cost, etc.) .
