The Homeland Security Technology Consortium (HSTech) supports the CBP and other potential customers within DHS in providing collaborative R&D and rapid prototyping/piloting capabilities germane to the border security domain.

A group of large and small businesses, non-profit organizations and academic research institutions quickly coalesced in the spring of 2012 to form the nucleus of the Border Security Technology Consortium (BSTC), now HSTech. The desired objective is for the HSTech to provide a “one-stop” source for capabilities across the border security technology spectrum, including:

  • Surveillance and monitoring
  • Identification and assessment
  • Targeting and intelligence
  • Communications and information management
  • Apprehension/detention/seizure/removal
  • and other border security-related capabilities
