7. DoD policies that govern coordination and approval of requests for support to civil authorities normally do not apply to the Air Force Auxiliary The SECAF designee (1st/11th/13th CC), may respond directly to civil-support requests, including those involving counter-drug activities, using the services of CAP Approval authorities must ensure that CAP missions supporting State/local agencies or NGOs as AFAMs must demonstrate a “federal interest” in the activity CAP may only support an agency or department of the Federal government in its capacity as the Air Force Auxiliary Civil Support Approval Process

8. CAP Mission Requests Requirement Report Federal Agencies State/local Agencies or NGOs Report Execution NORTHCOM Report AFNORTH-1AF (CAOC) Tasking CAP (NOC) 888-211-1812 CAP Wing CAP … Remain Under Military Control/Direction …

9. Immediate response is appropriate when necessary to: Save lives Prevent human suffering Mitigate great property damage under imminently serious conditions CAP must receive authorization from the 1st/11th/13th AF/CC to conduct an immediate response mission Immediate Response Requests

10. Cannot: Search individuals/vehicles Seize Arrest Interrogate Direct Law Enforcement Activities Posse Comitatus Act

11. LEA Transportation Authority: May transport LEA for coordination and support force protection May not transport prisoners or contraband (some exceptions – chain of custody) May not transport in direct tactical support of LEA operational missions May not transport where hostilities are imminent CAP Personnel may make spot reports of suspicious activities to LEAs Mission Authorities

23. Advanced Technology ADIS Aerial Digital Imaging System • Status • 100 systems fielded ARCHER Airborne Real-time Cueing Hyperspectral Enhanced Recon • Status • 9 systems fielded SURROGATE PREDATOR • Status • 2 systems fielded GIIEP Geospatial Information Interoperability Exploitation Portable • Status • 5 systems fielded from 1st AF

24. ADIS What is ADIS? Aerial Digital Imaging System

25. ADIS

26. Technology that enables CAP to send high resolution digital imagery from CAP aircraft to anyone anywhere in the world Images are sent as JPEG attachments via standard e-mail to multiple addresses and/or a password-protected website Imagery is transmitted near real-time. Files take less than 2 minutes to transmit ADIS

28. ARCHER What is ARCHER? Airborne Real-Time Cueing Hyperspectral Enhanced Recon

29. ARCHER • ARCHER is a custom-designed system of hyperspectral imaginghardware and software (HSI). • HSI is a technology that allows a sensor on a moving platform todetect and/or gather reflected radiation(light) from man-made or natural objects on the ground. • Hyperspectral Imaging willsupport current and future CAP missions • Search and Rescue (SAR) • Disaster Relief (DR) • Homeland Security (HLS) • Tree/Plant Disease Detection

30. ARCHER executes three separate algorithms for target acquisition and identification: Spectral signature matching:detects specific spectral signatures using matched filters (find things with known spectral properties) Missions: HLS, Tree/Plant Disease Detection Anomaly detection:detects spectral anomalies (things that do not “belong”) Missions: Search and Rescue, Disaster Relief Change detection:detects changes over time through a pixel-by-pixel comparison. Missions: HLS, Disaster Relief ARCHER

31. ARCHER is anon-invasivereflective light technology ARCHER willNOTmake detections: Through solid materials (e.g., roofs, buildings, walls, floors, etc.) Underground Under snow Under water At night ARCHER
