PERFORMANCE SPECIFICATION FOR THE CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTIONUNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE

(CBP UAV) SYSTEM1.0 SCOPE1.1 IDENTIFICATIONThis Performance Specification supports the acquisition of an unmanned aircraft systemby the Department of Homeland Security/Customs and Border Protection (DHS/CBP).Its purpose is to specify performance, test, and verification requirements for theCustoms and Border Protection Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (CBP UAV) system.

1.2 ENTITY DESCRIPTIONThe CBP UAV is an aircraft system with multiple payloads, which may be employed byvarious DHS agencies in a variety of environments. Components of the CBP UAVsystem can be deployed to multiple locations and operated simultaneously. Control ofthe CBP UAV will be from the Ground Control Station (GCS) at the airfield for operations inLine-Of-Sight (LOS). For operations Beyond-Line-Of-Sight (BLOS), air vehicle control will betransferred to a GCS located at the Border Patrol Sector Headquarters (HQ) or otherdesignated location. Control of the CBP UAV sensors will be decentralized to the lowesttactical level necessary in the field.

CBP UAV support will extend beyond the tactical units operating the systems sensors.Imagery receipt and retransmission will be conducted from the airfield GCS in LOS andfrom the HQ GCS via the network in BLOS situations. Through its Link Segment and controlconsoles, the CBP UAV sensor data will be linked through the existing network to an extendedgroup of users designated by CBP.

The CBP UAV System is intended to provide persistent, airborne surveillance in support ofborder operations. A system consists of these basic elements: Aircraft, Payloads(Sensors), Ground Control Station (GCS), takeoff and landing system, Link Segment,Sensor Control Terminals (SCT), and Remote Video Terminals (RVT).

1.3 DOCUMENT OVERVIEWThe word equipment, as used in this document, includes all components or units necessary(as determined by the equipment manufacturer or installer) to properly perform its intendedfunction.

HSBP1005R0425 SECTION J Attachment 4Performance Spec for CBP UAV System Version 1.0May 26, 2005 133.0 REQUIREMENTS3.1 SYSTEM DEFINITION

The CBP UAV System is defined as all hardware, software, training, and procedures necessaryto meet the requirements of the CBP UAV System Performance Specification. A systemconsists of these basic elements: Aircraft, Payloads (Sensors), Ground Control Station (GCS),takeoff and landing subsystem, Data Link Subsystems (Link Segment), Sensor ControlTerminals (SCT), and Remote Video Terminals (RVT).

The exact configuration, quantity, and functional capability of these basic elements willdepend on deployment scenario and on contractor design concepts used to meet themission objectives.

3.1.1 CBP UAV System OverviewDHS/Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has determined by analysis of alternativesand multiple field demonstrations that a medium altitude, long endurance, unmannedaircraft provides significant and unique force enhancements to the intelligence gathering,situational awareness, and law enforcement tasks performed by CBP.

Further tasks, such as communication relay and interception, although not yet evaluatedin the field, are assessed to also be best performed by such a platform. Alternativesconsidered were sensors mounted in airships, aerostats, towers, and manned aircraft.The purpose of the CBP UAV System is to collect and pass information using anairborne sensor platform that will provide CBP and other DHS agents in the field anextended and enhanced situational awareness.The payloads that support these missions will evolve and mature over time. The CBP UAVSystem shall be interoperable with a wide variety of mission payloads. It is anticipated thatthis requirement will be met through a versatile set of physical, electrical, and data interfaces.

10/83

The data interfaces shall include internal interfaces within the CBP UAV System and externalinterfaces into the networks that provide secondary distribution of the data to end users.

The CBP UAV systems main ground control station (GCS) and the rest of the CBP UAVsystem will initially be based at an airfield (Main Operating Base, MOB) within the BorderPatrol Sector. Priorities for its use will be established and managed by the Border PatrolSector Chief or his designated representative. The GCS or takeoff and landing system at theairfield will control the UAV while in Line-Of-Sight (LOS). When going Beyond-Line-Of-Sight(BLOS), control of the aircraft will be passed from the launch and recovery team at the airfieldto another GCS located at a designated Border Patrol location (Sector Headquarters or otherdesignated location) once the aircraft is established in level flight and reliable narrowbandSATCOM up and down links have;

3.1.1.1 Mission Objective3.1.1.2 Operational StrategyHSBP1005R0425 SECTION J Attachment 4Performance Spec for CBP UAV System Version 1.0 May 26, 2005 14 has been establishedbetween the aircraft and the GCS (Figure 1). Once on station, CBP agents will control theaircraft's imaging sensor(s) via a Sensor Control Terminal (SCT). The sensor(s) will broadcastits images/video to those CBP agents in its line of sight who are equipped with a RemoteVideo Terminal (RVT). Imagery will also be received by towers located in various parts of thesector and transmitted to the controlling GCS for recording and further dissemination. Controlof the sensor will transfer between adjacent agents, as the aircraft approaches subsequentareas. Requests to change the aircraft's mission shall be made to the controlling GCS, whowill be responsible for flight safety. Initially, airspace separation and altitude deconfliction willbe employed to ensure safe separation among manned helicopters, the CBP UAV, andmanned aircraft operating near each other (see Figure 2).

Figure 2: Restricted Operating Zones (Notional)The CBP UAV System design should (O) be of a modular nature that will facilitatereconfigurations to include or remove subsystem components, depending on theresources available to the parent unit and the operating environment.

For example, CBP UAV ground components will require all the CBP UAV System resourcesnecessary to perform the mission and shall be transportable by DHS organizationaltransportation assets. In order to support the anticipated operational tempo, the CBP UAVSystem shall provide autonomous operation with automatic features that allow for manualintervention on critical functions such as rapid re-tasking of the sensors and flight rerouting.In order to interact or operate in concert with DHS agents in the field, the CBP UAV Systemshall provide the system operators with tactical communications.

For example, the operators in the ground control station need communications with suchfunctional centers as Border Patrol Stations and Sectors, Air Traffic Control (ATC) Agencies,the Air and Marine Operations Center (AMOC), and Coast GuardStations.The Government anticipates the CBP UAV System will maximize the use of existingcommercial and government systems and/or components.
