Advanced Surveillance Program (asp)

 

To provide enhanced remote security and surveillance capability at airports where people or objects are screened and perimeter security is improved. The ASP partners with airport authorities to enable Transportation Security Officers access to real time and recorded camera views of critical activities. ASP provides the additional equipment necessary to achieve the TSA-mandated security recordation requirements of Checkpoint, Checked Baggage and Airport Perimeter, in turn enhancing the Airport Authorityâ₏™s current/existing system. The ASP Program increases the local Airport Authorityâ₏™s capability to remotely monitor, detect and assess all types of threats, including explosive threats and their resolution. Remote monitoring has the potential to detect and prevent the placement or transport of explosives/devices and other threats by increasing situational awareness in the areas of Checkpoint, Checked Baggage and Airport Perimeter. Activities performed under ASP are authorized and mandated by the Aviation and Transportation Security Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-71).

Airports are required to submit a complete application package. Airports will be selected to mitigate the risk in the aviation system and consistent with the intent of the law to fund projects most ready for execution.

TSA funding and the terms and conditions of the award are negotiated between the TSA and the Airport. Contact the headquarters or regional office, as appropriate, for application deadlines. Not Applicable. Not Applicable. Not Applicable. TSA utilizes an airport prioritization model for airport baggage screening projects based on a risk assessment that identifies operational risks. The overall approach balances an analysis of total project cost with the impact of risk, while factoring in the predicted airport growth rate, (e.g., Numbers of people and bags). Total project costs include TSA capital investment in EDS equipment and the TSA costs associated with installation, integration, and testing of the EDS equipment within the airport facility modification. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) funding is restricted to the purchase and installation of Checkpoint, Checked Baggage and Airport Perimeter surveillance threat detection systems, including explosive detection at the Airport Authorityâ₏™s facilities. The Checkpoint surveillance area is defined as the area in which TSA employees screen people, carry-on baggage, and other items at security checkpoints. The Checked Baggage Surveillance area is defined as the area in which TSA employees screen baggage requiring threat resolution in the Baggage Handling System (BHS) operation following an alarm alert. The use of funding for Airport Perimeter Surveillance is restricted to address airport-identified perimeter security vulnerabilities that can be mitigated through the use of applied security technologies.
