Facilitation Hub U.S. Border Geography Southern Northern Coastal BOR I 16 USBP Southern Border Environment Area of Responsibility: 1,954 miles of international boundary between the United States and Mexico, extending from the California Coast to the Gulf of Mexico. Geography/Weather Challenges: The Southern Border traverses a variety of terrains, ranging from major urban areas to sparsely populated remote areas with a lack of improved roads, significant line of sight obstructions, and a lack of commercial communications infrastructure. Weather challenges include extreme heat, cold, strong winds, and seasonal monsoon storms. Cattle ranching and an abundance of wildlife create nuisance detections for various types of motion detection technology. 17 USBP Northern Border Environment Area of Responsibility: A nearly 5,525-mile international boundary between the United States and Canada running from Washington state to Maine, including the Great Lakes region. Geography/Weather Challenges: Difficult terrain, with open plains between heavily forested lands on the west and east coasts. Weather challenges include varying skies, including low clouds, coastal fog, heavy rain, snow, and ice. • The Northern Region is comprised of sparsely populated federal, state and tribal lands along the immediate border area. As such, the Northern Region environment differs appreciably from the Southwest Region and requires a different law enforcement approach. • Ninety percent of the Canadian population lives within 100 miles of the U.S. border. • Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) exploit the diverse conditions in the Northern Region. TCOs will often use small, fast conveyances (e.g., helicopters, snowmobiles, vessels). 18 USBP Coastal Environment • Increasingly, criminals use small vessels to smuggle illicit materials into the United States. Transnational criminal organizations design and build these vessels, including go-fasts, pangas, etc. • Vessels are used for the smuggling of contraband and include humans. • Small vessels are an ideal platform for smuggling—they are difficult to detect and it is challenging to distinguish between the smugglers and those engaged in legitimate pleasure and commercial boating. • Another challenge for the agencies responsible for guarding our maritime borders is how to effectively patrol the vast shorelines of the U.S. using limited resources (ships, boats, planes, helicopters). 19 Threat in the Mix Uniformed Border Patrol Agents – 19,500 Total Arrests in FY18 – Subjects arrested with prior criminal convictions • • Homicide Sexual Assault/Rape • Assault/Aggravated Assault • Drug-Related • Weapons Charges • • Robbery Burglary • Larceny • Vehicle Theft 20 OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW Presented By: Chief Kelly C.

Station GDP Unit :3 U4 CL E: {.1fo er Lessons Learned/Challenges • The genesis of persistent surveillance was the SBInet program. • From that USBP learned: • Focus on a Non-Developmental item (NDI) or COTS solutions • Firm Fixed Price (FFP) • Deploy stand-alone systems to provide rapid solutions to field 32 Deployment Lessons Learned/Challenges • Cost of post-award contract changes • Modifying contracts for technology upgrades in FFP environment is challenging • Terrain/Vegetation create line of sight (LOS) gaps • Manpower intensive in C2 Centers • Manual operator “identification” of Items of Interest (IoI) more difficult than envisioned, cows, cows and more cows • Transmitting IoI details to field agents is manual and slow • The term Persistent Surveillance relates to 24/7 performance, can be fixed or relocatable 33 C2 Common Operating Picture Lessons Learned/Challenges • Although IFT has an Operational Requirements Document responsibility for a COP, operators use multiple sensor systems to perform mission • Currently very few sensor systems feed into IFT • Multiple sensors and systems can report same IoI • Specific operators for specific systems requires the Tactical Operations Center (TOC) supervisor being the COP integrator 34 RVSS UPGRADE PROGRAM OVERVIEW Presented By: Mr. Michael B. Potter, Portfolio Manager, Remote Video Surveillance System, USBP, PMOD RVSS Upgrade Program In order to achieve operational control of our Nation’s Border, Border Patrol requires the capability of persistent surveillance. Benefits:  Provide visual detection for the apprehension of illegal intruders across US borders  Offer improved performance (Surveillance) of US borders EO Camera IR Camera  Address Obsolescence issues  Enhance situational awareness The scope of the program includes:  Upgrades the obsolete legacy RVSS  Constructs new Towers  Deploys enhanced RVSS capability at elevated sites  Provides Command & Control Room (C2) modifications  Upgrades Station Communication Towers Laser Illuminator Spot Light (Effective Range ~5 Miles) (12,000,000 Candlepower) Video Wall (C2 Facility) 36 US RVSS Upgrade Program Q55 High Level Operational Concept User Interface Wan Kny RW??nnd Emmi-e ?1:315? ??55 ?m 3 Hair Interface CED Relocatable Towers Relocatable C2 Relocatable Tower Locations: San Diego, CA; McAllen, TX; Laredo West, TX; Rio Grande City, TX; Weslaco, TX 38 Northern Border RVSS The NB-RVSS is a remotely controlled system of daylight and infrared cameras (fixed/relocatable towers, buildings). Images are transmitted, monitored, & recorded at a central locations. It is an operational system deployed in the Detroit (13 sites) and Buffalo Sectors (5 sites) used by the USBP to monitor the St. Clair River and Lake St. Clair in Detroit Sector, and the upper Niagara River in Buffalo sector. Planning to expand these capabilities to the Swanton Sector (5 sites in FY21). 39 Challenges/Lessons Learned • Real Estate: Our most significant challenge and cause of delay; to counter, PMOD is maximizing reuse of existing sites and increasing use of options that minimize land disturbance (e.g. relocatable towers) • Program staffing (e.g. background investigations) • Supportability – in particular Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) of critical components at individual tower sites • Although we currently have automated detection, we want automated identification and tracking functions as well 40 IFT AND RVSS ACQUISITION OVERVIEW Presented By: Mr. James T.

TIEEDH I. Find Suns-Is FNES. Iii-1. LIES: mm: 43 Acquisition Objectives • Common contract approach to support both IFT and RVSS programs • Integrated COP that displays all sensors at a Border Patrol Station • All sensors displayed on a single user interface • Track fusion and track correlation • Automated detection and identification • Increase efficiency – quicker decisions and reduce C2 operators • Flexible architecture (easy and low cost to change design) • Reduce hardware and infrastructure across USBP Station AORs (i.e. towers, sensors, communications equipment, etc.) 44 Challenges • Contract will build upon lessons learned from SBInet and both RVSS and IFT procurements • This is NOT a developmental contract • Previous contract structures (Fixed price) reduced initial procurement costs, but expensive and slow to upgrade technology • Solve licensing for COTS & Proprietary solutions up front • Prime Contractor solutions increase risk of vendor lock, reducing Government’s flexibility • Moving away from a turn-key solution will have inherent benefits and risks 45 Acquisition Strategy Objectives • Use fixed price contracting based on commercial and/or non-developmental items (NDI) • Investigate the use of Government Off-the-Shelf (GOTS) software • Post-award affordability – lower the cost of modifications • Increase efficiency - reduce C2 operators, reduce costs • Life Cycle Costs – gain efficiencies in sustainment via standard hardware and infrastructure • Centralize NOC/SOC services 46 Acquisition Strategy Objectives (con’t) • Identify alternatives that further increase competition: • Contractor maintenance and logistics support (CMLS) • Infrastructure • Sensors and communications equipment USBP has approved both the RVSS and IFT programs to work on a common contract targeted for 4QFY20 award, subject to the availability of funds 47 Familiar Acquisition Strategy Single award, firm fixed price (FFP), base + option quantities contract for all tower construction, technology integration, installation and deployment, and CMLS; the Government provides all other services. Benefits: • “Turn-Key” system, and provides a single source for tower construction and technology deployment • The prime contractor is solely responsible for system installation, maintenance, and performance • Simplifies logistics and contract administration (minimizes Government resources) 48 Other Acquisition Strategies Being Considered #1 – IFT Method (FFP, single award, one contractor designs, builds, and maintains, the IFT system and is solely responsible for system performance) #2 – RVSS Upgrade Contract Methodology (Single award, firm fixed price (FFP), base + option quantities contract for technology installation and CMLS; the Government provides the tower infrastructure and all other services) #3 – FFP, Multiple award, base + option quantities for tower construction, technology installation, and CMLS; the Government provides all other services #4 – FFP, single award, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ); FFP task orders issued for tower construction, technology installation, and CMLS; the Government provides all other services 49 Other Acquisition Strategies Being Considered (con’t) #5 – Multiple award, ID/IQ; FFP task orders for technology installation, tower construction, and CMLS; the Government provides all other services #6 – The Government provides or directs use of selected C2/COP to a single contractor who provides the tower, sensor equipment, etc. and integrates into a single operational system and delivery to the Government #7 – Two contracts - a single contractor provides the C2/COP and a single contractor provides the tower, sensor equipment, etc. and integrates into a single operational system and delivery to the Government Soliciting Feedback from Industry on these and any other Acquisition Strategies 50 Command and Control (C2) Software • Government agencies have successfully employed • Industry C2 software – IFT, RVSS, etc. • Govt C2 software (GOTS) – JACCS, JIGSAW, SMS-JPSC2, etc. • Pros: • Industry C2:1) One stop shopping - contractor assumes integration risk; and 2) industry brings expertise and efficiency • Govt C2: More control throughout lifecycle to integrate new technology • Cons: • Industry C2: Reduced competition for changes after deployment • Govt C2: 1) CBP will likely assume more risk in integration and performance; and 2) significant customization may be required to adapt GOTS solution previously optimized for non-USBP missions 51 Standardization within C2 Software • Government agencies have employed standards to great benefit • Example: Virtually all computer hardware and networking equipment • Seeking a level of ‘plug and play’ in C2 software to improve: • • • • Ability to integrate and deploy innovative automation tools Ability to replace COP software components as industry and mission evolve Ability to integrate with both new and legacy sensor systems Ability to do so throughout the system lifecycle • Standardization is a means to an end, not an end unto itself • Seeking improved: Modularity, flexibility, compatibility, supportability, etc. • Investigating several existing standards; for example: • DoD Security Equipment Integration Working Group (SEIWG) • US Army NVESD Integrated Sensor Architecture (ISA) • CBP seeking industry and Government input on best approach 52 Sector Priority/Deployment Sites Priority USBP Sector Rio Grande 1 Valley 2 Laredo 3 Del Rio 4 El Paso 5 San Diego 6 El Centro 7 Big Bend 8 Houlton 9 Swanton 10 Buffalo 11 Detroit 12 Blaine IFT RVSS 1 2 2 28 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0* 107 67 69 41 66 4 1 14 22 16 32 Note: • RVSS Sensor deployment sites – 439 (*Excludes 83 towers already under contract in RGV Sector) • IFT Sensor deployment sites – 35 • Total 474 Deployment Sites (Notional) • Although the potential contract size is large; the guaranteed work (e.g. initial quantity buy) will be based on available USBP funding 53 Status as uf'i?i?iilltl?
