DHS Airspace Surveillance Requirements MPAR Symposium Randel Zeller Science and Technology Directorate Department of Homeland Security Director, Interagency Liaison Oct 10, 2007

DHS S&T has representatives on:  The White House National Aeronautics Science and Technology Subcommittee of the National Science and Technology Council’s Committee on Technology Aviation Security Aviation Safety  The Joint Program Development Office (JPDO) Integrated Surveillance Study Team (ISST) To develop a written report documenting consolidated NextGen top- level requirements for Integrated Aviation Transportation System Surveillance

NextGen Policy Background  Aimed at significantly increasing the capacity, safety, efficiency, and security of air transportation operations; improve the overall economic well being of the country  Focused on Automatic Dependent Surveillance – Broadcast (ADS-B), a cooperative surveillance system, and aircraft avionics equipage  With the 2003 enactment of the Vision 100 – Century of Aviation Reauthorization Act (P.L ) a mandate was issued to multiple government agencies to establish NextGen and formally create the Joint Planning Development Office (JPDO).

The National Security Presidential Directive-47/Homeland Security Presidential Directive-16 (NSPD-47/HSPD-16) National Strategy states, “The United States Government will maximize its capability to detect and monitor aircraft within its airspace from large commercial aircraft to low-altitude, low-observable manned or unmanned aircraft, as well as the area contiguous to U.S. airspace and other airspace that might be of national security interest.” DHS’ Reason to Participate in NextGen

National Strategy for Aviation Security (NSAS)  President Bush directed development of a comprehensive NSAS – protect the nation and its interests in the Air Domain  The Secretary of Homeland Security, in accordance with National Security Presidential Directive-47/Homeland Security Presidential Directive-16 (NSPD-47/HSPD-16), will coordinate the operational implementation of the Strategy, including the integration and synchronization of related Federal programs and initiatives  Seven plans associated with this Strategy – Air Domain Surveillance and Intelligence Integration Plan (ADSII) is the one we deal with the most

Joint Planning and Development Office  Joint initiative between DOT, DOD, DOC, DHS, NASA and Office of Science and Technology Policy in the White House; includes NGATS Institute, which provides access to the knowledge and skills of many in the private aviation stakeholder communities, enabling a two-way communication process between the government and the private sector  Developed the Concept of Operations and Enterprise Architecture for the NGATS as envisioned in 2025

Integrated Aviation Transportation System Surveillance Study Team (ISST)  Chartered to develop a written report, in draft form by 15 Dec 07, documenting consolidated NextGen top-level requirements for Integrated Aviation Transportation System Surveillance for the 2025 time frame; report will also serve as a mechanism for providing inputs to JPDO corporate products

DHS Participation in DoD/DHS Long Range Radar (LRR) Joint Program Office (JPO)  Legacy system is currently owned, maintained and operated by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).  In FY04 the FAA declared they had a diminishing requirement for primary long range radar.  Beginning FY05, Office of Management and Budget decrees DOD and DHS are jointly responsible to fund 100% of the costs associated with primary radar operations, maintenance and the Service Life Extension Program (SLEP).  The JPO was established Sept 2005 to streamline inter-departmental coordination while ensuring a reliable primary long range radar system is maintained in order to provide airspace security and defense throughout the Continental U.S. and adjacent regions as required by National Security authorities.

DHS/DoD Investment in LRR Service Life Extension Program  SLEP Objective – sustain legacy system until 2025 Replace analog transmitters with solid state on 68 radar systems $211M budget through 2010  JPO Objective Create a bridge, ensuring no interruption in service or significant degradation of mission capability, from the current ground based LRR system until such time that the “next generation” detection/surveillance system is operationally deployed Partner with the DoD and FAA to enhance detection capabilities as required by the ADSII and ATSS plans.

 Customs and Border Protection (CBP),  CBP Air and Marine Operations Center (AMOC)  US Coast Guard  Secret Service  Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)  Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) DHS Primary Radar Usage

Customs and Border Protection (CBP)  Detect airborne and maritime terrorist/ smuggling events and their associated illegal alien and contraband cargos  Covert tracking devices  Enforce borders at Ports of Entry and between Ports of Entry

Air and Marine Operations Center (AMOC)  24-hour multi-agency operations center  Provide direct support to Homeland Security in protecting the American people and our national borders through the detection and identification of transnational threats and coordination of law enforcement air and marine forces.

US Coast Guard  Maritime smuggling/ terrorism  Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA)  Port Security

Secret Service  Movement of POTUS  National Special Security Events

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)  Aviation smuggling investigations  Covert tracking devices

Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA)  Airspace control of areas affected by natural and manmade disasters
