Civil Air PatrolCommand Council Meeting 1-2 March 2013 Arlington, VA
Advanced Digital Reconnaissance Systems Mr. Desmarais & Col Murrell
Overview SDIS/ADIS Status ADRS Status GIIEP Status Sensor RFI/RFP Ongoing Working Group Activity
SDIS/ADIS Status We’re seeing improved results with Globalstar Full operating capability (FOC) not expected until later in 2013 NHQ has requested continued delay of billing until FOC is achieved – awaiting decision from Globalstar Billing options expanded in CAPR 173-3 to recoup mission costs
ADRS Status Goal is to place a camera kit with each aircraft on a 5 year replacement cycle, pending funding D90 or D200 kits capable of geo-tagging have been provided for 54% of the fleet (291 aircraft) with the latest distribution AMODs will be sent to update old kits to make sure they are identical – Garmin GPSes should be transferred to ground teams once received Team is working training material updates to be ready before the summer
GIIEP Status • NHQ still has 5 complete kits from AFNORTH • 117 custom configured Panasonic CF-31 Toughbooks were purchased at the end of FY12 that have now been configured for distribution • Replacing old CF-29s from SDIS primarily • Computer has been designed to work with existing Nikon D-90 Camera Kits primarily • External aircraft antenna testing will be done this spring, once funding is available • Training materials are being updated to match CF-31 deployment
Sensor RFI/RFP • An RFI for the next sensor system is currently in process with vendors • Replies due by 19 March • Team of CAP, USAF, and DHS staff will review inputs received to determine best options • Expectation is for scalable systems that CAP can build upon over the life of the aircraft • Must be a turn-key package option with training to meet the needs of CAP and our primary customers • DHS funding may be available for demo system(s)
Sensor RFI/RFP • RFP will be accomplished this spring in order to establish contracts as necessary • Expect to purchase systems in conjunction with aircraft procurements, though not restricted should other funding sources be available • Plan is for 20 or more systems to get to 2 per FEMA Region or more, but funding will drive how quickly CAP can purchase systems
Ongoing Working Group Activity • Training & Ops Quals • SQTRs & Curriculum • Mission Profiles • Website Update • Regulations & Policies • Regulatory guidance • Checklists and Forms Working groups will need assistance from subject matter experts from throughout the country • System Development • Planning Tools • Image delivery • System Integration • WMIRS • SDIS, ADIS, GIIEP...Interoperability • Training & Simulation Tools
