We are exploring how anomaly detection algorithms could be best used across and beyond government to help examine, identify and then detect concealed threat and contraband items in baggage, vehicles and cargo. Our aim is to build a better understanding of current market capability and to drive innovation and progress by bringing together the supplier and customer community. The specific focus of this project is data, and to address some of the challenges associated with it. We want to engage suppliers that have experience in anomaly detection to: understand what suppliers require to enable them to meet threat detection and security screening requirements; understand what data would be useful to share; and develop strategies as to how best to facilitate data sharing. The information you provide will assist in forming the basis of an in-person event designed to discuss these issues and challenges across the community and in developing a statement of requirements for potential future activities (such as data sharing agreements). We are seeking submissions from individuals / organisations that have experience in anomaly detection, irrespective of the market sector they are currently working in. Please note that this Request for Information (RFI) is not a commitment to any subsequent development. Responses to this RFI should be submitted using the attached form and uploaded to the Defence Sourcing Portal or emailed to . Submissions must be submitted by 18:00 on Friday 10th February 2023.
