The
Secure Border Initiative (SBI) is a comprehensive plan by the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to gain operational control of
the U.S. borders through the integration of increased staffing,
interior enforcement, detection technology and infrastructure, and
coordination on federal, state, local and international levels.
A critical component of SBI is SBInet, a program focused on transforming border control through technology and infrastructure. SBInet
will provide frontline personnel advantages in securing the nation’s
land borders through the most effective integration of current and next
generation technology, infrastructure, staffing and response platforms.
The SBInet
solution will be managed and executed by the U.S. Customs and Border
Protection agency, and will be deployed using a homeland security
threat-based approach.

Approach
Boeing
is leveraging the expertise and capabilities of our teammates to
provide a system of systems, best value and low-risk solution to DHS
and CBP. The Boeing SBInet team offers the combined experience
in deploying large-scale systems integration efforts as well as in
security, border security, surveillance systems and other areas that
enable the team to understand the needs and challenges of CBP and the
Border Patrol to deliver the right SBInet solution.
Strategy
Our
strategy focuses on providing CBP and the Border Patrol with detailed
Situational Awareness through our Common Operating Picture to give
every field agent the advantage of real-time, integrated information
about illegal crossing activity and operations by Border Patrol and
other supporting law enforcement agencies.
Our team
will deploy the appropriate mix and amount of systems along border
areas that are between points of entry to detect those approaching the
border. Border enforcement areas are divided into sectors, each with a
local command center. The Boeing team’s system will detect, monitor and
classify potential and actual crossers. At that point, the system will
enable sector command centers to dispatch the right agents and
resources to respond to the scene.
Deployment
Our team will deploy the following hardware and software systems:
- Ground-based and tower-mounted sensors, cameras and radars
- Fixed and mobile telecommunications systems
- Ground-penetrating detecting systems
- Command and control center equipment
- Information database and intelligence analysis systems
