DHS S&T First Responders Capability Gaps for FY 2018-2019

On an annual basis, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) meets with first responders to gain critical stakeholder input on capability gaps that serve as a roadmap for S&T’s technology scouting, research and development, and transition efforts. The capability gaps or Statements of Objectives (SOO) developed as a result of these meetings help determine how S&T engages with business, industry, innovation and academia partners, and ultimately how S&T provides first responders the tools they need to protect communities and stay safe while performing their duties.
