M2S2 Statement of Work
GENERAL DISTRIBUTION:
Modular Mobile Surveillance System Page 21 of 28 Background The mission of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is to safeguard America’s borders, thereby protecting the public from dangerous people and materials while enhancing the Nation’s global economic competitiveness by enabling legitimate trade and travel.
The U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) land surveillance mission essential tasks are to detect, identify, classify, and track adversary individuals, groups, and conveyances (i.e., dismounted persons; and land, waterways/coastal, riverine and airborne conveyances) using a variety of capabilities, one of which is mobile surveillance. Waterways/coastal and riverine environments are part of land surveillance. The USBP mission requires the ability to detect, identify, classify, and track, leading to the interception of equipment, vehicles, and humans engaged in or suspected of unlawful border crossing activities. The modular mobile surveillance system (M2S2) will provide capabilities to enable execution of USBP land surveillance mission essential tasks (Figure 1). However, USBP is also seeking additional capabilities that can be achieved through a modular design that allows for the incorporation of other sensors and technology to better support the CBP mission.
Figure 1: USBP Land Surveillance Mission Essential Tasks The M2S2 will be a mobile surveillance asset with the capacity to adapt to shifting threat patterns in various terrain types, be deployed for day or night operational surveillance to provide a variety of surveillance capabilities, and enable operators to monitor potentially illicit activity. The M2S2 will consist of a sensor package, mast, power subsystem, command and control, and communications capability integrated on a commercially available, off-road capable 4x4 vehicle.

M2S2 Concept of Operation Figure 2 shows a high-level operational concept for M2S2. Each M2S2 will be responsible for monitoring its designated areas of coverage (AoC), providing persistent surveillance and real-time situational awareness to support USBP operations.
The M2S2 mast will elevate its detection and imaging sensors to maximize the AoC and overcome natural obstacles along the border. This elevated positioning ensures an unobstructed line of sight for detecting and tracking IoIs across diverse and challenging environments. The number of M2S2 units deployed within each USBP sector will vary based on geography, operational priorities, and availability of equipment.
Where deployed, the M2S2 will provide operators with high-resolution video and sensor data, supported by advanced artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities. These AI-powered imaging systems enable the automated detection, tracking, identification, and classification of IoI such as individuals, vehicles, drones, and watercraft. The system’s AI capabilities reduce operator workload by providing real-time alerts and actionable intelligence, ensuring that operators can monitor IoI movements with precision and accuracy.
M2S2 integrates seamlessly with communication tools, enabling the operator to share data, including geographic coordinates, imagery, and movement patterns, with field agents and command centers to support coordinated interdiction efforts. This interoperability ensures agents are equipped with the information needed to respond quickly and effectively to emerging threats, enhancing situational awareness and operational effectiveness.
By leveraging its AI-driven technology, modular design, and communication capabilities, the M2S2 will enhance USBP’s ability to adapt to dynamic operational needs, ensuring effective surveillance coverage and timely responses to emerging threats. The system’s deployment will be tailored to the unique requirements of each sector, maximizing its impact on border security operations.
Figure 2: M2S2 Operational View 1 (OV-1) Operational Scenario The M2S2 is designed to operate in diverse and challenging environments, providing advanced surveillance capabilities to support USBP operations throughout an entire shift, typically lasting 8 to 10 hours. An operator drives the M2S2-equipped vehicle to a designated location, navigating rugged terrain, extreme weather, and variable road conditions. Upon arrival, the system transitions from transport mode to mission-ready mode, elevating its mast and activating its advanced sensor suite, including detection and optical sensors.
The M2S2 provides the capability to be operated by an onsite operator in manned mode or to be placed in unmanned autonomous mode and left unattended. While the system is deployed in unmanned autonomous mode, the M2S2 will transmit positively identified IoI to a remote command and control center (C2CEN) and to field agents utilizing TAK. Additionally, health status, diagnostics, and performance metrics will be transmitted to the Network Operations Center (NOC) and C2CEN for monitoring and analysis. This ensures the system’s functionality and performance are continuously monitored, even in the absence of an onsite operator.
While in unmanned autonomous mode, the M2S2 actively monitors its perimeter using integrated physical security sensors. These sensors detect potential security threats, such as unauthorized personnel or vehicles approaching the system, and send alerts to remote operators. This feature enhances the system’s security posture, ensuring operators are informed of potential risks and can take appropriate action to safeguard the system.
In manned and unmanned modes, the M2S2 autonomously scans the area, detecting and tracking IoIs such as individuals, vehicles, drones, and watercraft. The system provides real-time alerts and actionable intelligence to the operator, who can monitor and analyze the data through an intuitive interface and use of the optical sensors. The M2S2 integrates seamlessly with communication tools, enabling the operator to share data, including geographic coordinates, imagery, and movement patterns, with field agents and command centers to support coordinated interdiction efforts. This capability ensures agents are equipped with the information needed to respond quickly and effectively to emerging threats.
The modular design of the M2S2 shall be configurable so that authorized personnel have the capability to reconfigure the system based on operational needs.
The system’s robust design supports extended operations, maintaining functionality and reliability throughout the duration of the shift. In the event of a system failure, the M2S2’s diagnostic capabilities alert the operator, and a backup unit can be deployed to ensure mission continuity.
The M2S2’s advanced capabilities, including its ability to detect, identify, and track IoIs across land, air, and water, make it an indispensable asset for USBP operations. By supporting agents with real-time intelligence and the flexibility to adapt to dynamic situations, the M2S2 plays a critical role in safeguarding the nation’s borders.
