1 Secure Border Initiative Presentation to Homeland Security Science and Technology Summit Mark S. Borkowski Executive Director, Secure Border Initiative February 10, 2010

2 Border Control Model (Initial Focus: Between POEs) Color-coded border control levels are generated by CBP s ORBBP process and do not directly account for ICE and USCG efforts on the border. Status as of end of FY

3 Border Control Depends on effective integration of three pillars Personnel Tactical Infrastructure Technology Requires Knowledge (situational awareness) Ability to act on knowledge Secure Border Initiative programs contribute to Border Control Technology & Tactical Infrastructure Knowledge and enhanced ability to respond 3

6 SBI Technology SBInet Block 1 First generation SBInet Wide area, persistent surveillance Fixed towers, networked to cover an Area of Responsibility (AOR) Designed for Arizona as a start Currently undergoing initial deployment to 2 AoRs SBInet Block 2+ Opportunity for enhancement or added capability To be defined after experience with Block 1 Spiral development Stand-alone technologies ( commodities ) Remote Video Surveillance Systems (RVSS) Mobile Surveillance Systems (MSS) And others Tactical Communications (P-25) Other demonstrations and developments 6

7 SBInet Deployment Approach Baseline Plan: Prepare to cover entire border with appropriate SBInet Block $8 billion across the Southwest Border Apply stand-alone technologies, as appropriate Provide capability until SBInet Block deployment Meet unique, localized requirements Lineback SBInet Block deployments Substitute for SBInet Block deployment where more cost-effective Review and adapt baseline plan, if required Incremental decision-making Continued development of other technology options 7

16 S&T Support to SBInet Mobile Surveillance System (MSS) Improvements Reduce radar clutter Improve video tracking Possible extension to SBInet Block 1 Test beds Southwest Border (BorderNet) Northeast Test Bed (NET-B) Subject Matter Expert Support to SBI Pilots and Unattended Ground Sensors (UGS) Federal Coordinating Committee advising DHS/S&T National Center for Border Security and Immigration SBI representation 16

17 Testbeds Overview Purpose: Demonstrate technology in an operationally relevant environment (TRL 7) Identify new concepts of operations Identify new requirements Current DHS S&T Borders and Maritime Testbeds Port Security Testbed (Los Angeles, Long Beach) Sensor/data fusion tools, combined decision support technology, and sensor technology Long Island Sound Testbed Port and Coastal Radar Testbed Radars and potentially other sensors Northern East Border Testbed (NET-B) BorderNet (Douglas, AZ) 17

18 Terrain NET-B Background / Problem Some Challenges of the Northern Border Wide-ranging environment from mountainous to plains to heavy forests Marine environment (lakes, rivers) Climate Foliage Population density Rural - low Urban - heavy Limited access / remote areas Lack of road infrastructure Long response times Operational concept Number of Agents 18

19 Cautionary Note SBInet is opening its aperture to consider a wide variety of technology options Tempting to look for highest-performing, highestcapability systems That s dangerous! Desire for enhancement without link to requirements has contributed to SBInet management challenges We need cost-effective capabilities And life cycle cost is often more important than performance 19

20 Closing SBI includes a strong technology program Focus has been, and still is, development and deployment of SBInet Block 1 Increasing interest in a diverse menu of options Tailor to local needs Augment or substitute for SBInet Blocks, if appropriate Linking needed operational capabilities, existing technology, and potential for advanced technology DHS S&T has provided testbeds and other support SBI and DHS S&T are strengthening their interaction Don t forget cost as a driver! 20
