    The CBP Industry Day Questions document addresses various inquiries regarding technology use and integration within U.S. Customs and Border Protection. CBP is not currently researching millimeter wave technology for contraband detection in passenger environments. However, the NII Division is deploying large-scale fixed systems for scanning commercial and private vehicles at U.S. entries. For software integration, CBP requires the Unified File Format (UFF) 3.0 for large-scale Non-Intrusive Inspection (NII) equipment and Digital Imaging and Communications in Security (DICOS) for small-scale NII. The NII-Integration effort will use an event-driven architecture with Kafka queues, S3 and GCS buckets for image storage, and Mongo DB (Atlas for Gov) and Databricks for data storage. The document also clarifies that CBP Innovation (INVNT) reviews new technologies and coordinates with partners for specific use cases. Organizations interested in presenting maritime domain awareness solutions or engaging in further discussions with CBP should register and request meetings through the “CBP Business Connection” portal.
