The TechSolutions Program was established by the Department of Homeland Security's Science and Technology Directorate to provide information, resources and technology solutions that address mission capability gaps identified by the emergency response community. The goal of TechSolutions is to field technologies that meet 80% of the operational requirement, in a 12 to 15 month time frame, at a cost commensurate with the proposal. Goals will be accomplished through rapid prototyping or the identification of existing technologies that satisfy identified requirements.
To be eligible to submit a capability gap, you must be an active/retired first responder. If you are a first responder who has identified a capability gap that impacts multiple departments or sectors of the first response community or have an idea that would aid fellow first responders in doing their job faster, safer, and more efficiently, please relay your idea or capability gap to the DHS TechSolutions Program by clicking the "Submit A Capability Gap" button below.
NOTE: TechSolutions is not the appropriate forum for agencies or departments seeking grant assistance for technologies that already exist or for vendors to submit product ideas. For grant information, please click the "Grant Information" button below. Vendors who have a technology or product idea that may be of interest to the Department should click the "Vendors" button for more information about unsolicited proposals.
