Homeland Security
The following missions have been documented from the DHS workshop and personal interview. Inclusion in this report does not imply that this mission has been funded or otherwise validated by any government agency.
Marine Interdiction, Monitoring, Detection, Tracking
The purpose of this mission is to monitor, detect, track, and interdict targets of interest tothe DHS, specifically ‘go-fast’ vessels used by drug smugglers.
Tunnel Detection and Monitoring
The purpose of this mission is to monitor the areas around the border for tunnels used for smuggling and unauthorized entry. Currently, if intelligence indicates there is a tunnel, the military is called. Investigating the tunnel scares the smugglers away. Utilizing UAVs in this mission will allow faster response times and a more efficient investigation and interdiction process.
Broad Area Surveillance
The purpose is to monitor border areas between ports of entry to detect unauthorized entry by immigration and customs violators. These areas include both land and maritime/coastal borders and their associated airspace. Currently, it is not possible to detect, identify, and track 100% of border crossings.
Due to the lack of 24/7 airborne border coverage, unspecified amounts of weapons, drugs, and unidentified individuals enter the United States illegally. The use of UAVs will enable the border patrol to conduct greater covert and overt surveillance of the border.
In addition, they will aid ground agents by enhancing their situational awareness. Specific examples include performing vehicle and target identification, identifying friend vs. foe and high priority targets via facial recognition software, determining whether individuals are armed, and serving as a communications node.
BORTAC Situational Awareness The purpose of this mission is to enhance situational awareness of Border Patrol Tactical Team (BORTAC) agents during operations through a hand launched tactical UAV platform. |
