This document provides information about a competition to develop screening technologies for carry-on bags and hold baggage. It outlines two challenges: 1) developing solutions to screen carry-on bags without removing items from bags, and 2) improving current cargo and hold baggage screening processes. It provides details on proposal requirements, available funding, project timelines and deadlines. Proposals are due by January 19, 2017 and should demonstrate proof-of-concept, offer significant benefits to security, and be completed within 6 months.

- 8. Proof of concept proposals that allow everything to stay in the bag maximising: • reliability and confidence • increased throughput levels • customer experience • cost benefits What we want
- 9. Screening cargo and hold baggage Challenge 2
- 10. Proof of concept proposals that improve current processes: • reliability and confidence • increased throughput levels • improved automation • reducing cost What we want
- 11. We are also interested in: • reducing the size and weight of equipment • novel staff training technologies • techniques to increase the reliability at the manual checking stage of the screening process What we want
- 12. We want to see: • ambitious and innovative proposals • proposals that take a systems approach • technologies that integrate with current technologies • techniques to increase the reliability at the manual checking stage of the screening process What we want
- 13. • consultancy proposals • paper-based studies or literature reviews • solutions that do not offer significant benefit to security • proposals that do not offer a practical demonstration • proposals that deliver outside the 6 month timescale for phase 1 What we don’t want

Editor's Notes
- #2: Good morning My name is Emma Howe and I am one of the themed competition managers at CDE. I’m going to explain how the competition process is going to work for you
- #3: This competition will use CDE’s standard contract terms and conditions for phase 1. For intellectual property this is called DEFCON 705. It means that you, the bidders, retain all of the background and foreground IP associated with your innovation. You are free exploit the IP generated from the work done via the CDE contract not only the defence market but also in wider markets outside of defence and security. We do retain a ‘right of use’ over the foreground IP and you need to understand what that means and become familiar with Defcon705. Check our website for full details.
- #4: There is only one route to submit your research proposal to us – and that is our new improved on line submission service, those of you who have worked with CDE before will know some of the challenges we faced with the old portal. The reason we use one route for all competitions is that it keeps overheads low – for us and for you. It allows very tight control over who gets to see your submission distribution around our network of expert assessors is controlled. This is an important because we take our reputation as a ‘trusted guardian’ of supplier IP very seriously indeed. I recommend you sign up for an account as soon as you can so that you can familiarise yourself with the new service. There’s lots of helpful advice and guidance included at every stage of your submission. Something that never changes is the need to submit a high quality proposal. One which is clear, concise and evidence based. You can get some advice on ‘submitting a successful proposal’ while you are here today, there’s a presentation this afternoon by my colleague Bruce Hardy. You can speak to one of the CDE team sign up for one of our online briefings: ‘how to submit a successful proposal’. The next one is scheduled for XX , you can sign up from the events page on our website.
- #5: So you have successfully submitted your proposal and the competition has closed. Now it will be assessed by experts from Dstl, DfT and HO. All are government employees and are trained to the same standard, so you can trust them with your IP.
- #6: If your proposal is funded, you will be provide wit a technical partner from Dstl, DfT or HO who can help you better understand government requirements and provide the link to the defence, security and wider government community.
- #7: This is where you will need to go for the competition document which describes the scope of the competition. You’ve heard some really interesting background today but you must remember that we’re only looking for what’s described in the competition document. We can’t fund anything that falls outside that scope. Use today to talk to the competition team to make sure your idea is in line with the competition. There maybe some space left for a face-to-face meeting – check with one of my colleagues at the registration desk, they’ll be happy to help.
- #9: We’re looking for original and innovative ideas to prevent threat items that people have hidden on their person being taken onto an aircraft. We’ve heard that these are weapons explosives and incendiary devices I’ll bring a list
- #11: Again I’ll bring a list
