FIGURE I-1. UA ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMS IN SUPPORT OF HOMELAND SECURITY.
COAST GUARD
Coast Guard acquisition plans for UA were in place prior to the formation of DHS as part of its Deepwater recapitalization program. Deepwater calls for acquiring 69 Bell Textron Eagle Eye ship-based tiltrotor UA starting in 2006 and leasing up to seven land-based Global Hawks in 2016. The Coast Guard began conducting a series of experiments in 1999 that have involved small (30-pound Aerosonde) to large (7,000-pound Altair) UA operating from vessels and from land (see Figure I-1 and Table I-1). These experiments have been helpful in defining concepts of operation for employing future UA and their sensors in roles varying from port security to open ocean fisheries protection and in environments from the Gulf coast to Alaska.

CUSTOMS AND BORDER PROTECTION
The CBP has been gaining experience with UA since the 1990s through cooperative use of Navy and Marine Corps Pioneers, and Army Hunters, during their units’ deployments in support of JTF-6. These 2-week-long deployments have occurred one or more times annually to provide added night surveillance capability along the U.S. southern and northern borders. CBP officers have been integrated into these operations, with a CBP officer sitting in the UA GCS during missions and directing agents to activities found by the UA’s sensors. In April 1999, the then-USBP sponsored an evaluation of four types of UA (fixed-wing, helicopter, hand-launched, and powered parafoil) near Laredo, Texas. The results of the 36 sorties flown convinced the USBP that small UA did not fully meet their needs, although cooperation with the Pioneer deployments continued. CBP use of a medium altitude endurance UA (Hermes 450) during the 2004 Arizona Border Control Initiative (ABCI) proved more successful and led to follow-on use of a similar UA (Hunter) to patrol the southern border at night.
