DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE

BIRD/DRONE DETECTION RADAR

STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

06 May 2022

OVERVIEW

This Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) is a written instrument of understanding, negotiated between the Government and Contractor to provide the Department of the Air Force (DAF) with a streamlined acquisition solution for Bird Detection Radar (BDR) or Bird/Drone

Detection Radar (B/DDR) units and support services to be competed among a pool of approved contractors. This agreement is not a contract. The purchasing organization (i.e., Ordering Activity [OA]) shall define individual requirements created in an independent scope tailored to the organization’s specific needs.

BACKGROUND

In 2005, independent contractors researched and developed a real-time bird monitoring radar using existing radar technologies to identify local bird hazards at airfields. Within the aviation industry, the developed technology is referred to as Bird Detection Radar. Since its inception, BDR technologies have advanced to accurately depict bird concentrations and movements at airfields.

Over the past 15 years, BDR units have been purchased and maintained at nine DAF locations, including: Beale Air Force Base, Dare County Bombing Range (Seymour-Johnson

Air Force Base), Dover Air Force Base, Joint Base Randolph-San Antonio, Offutt Air Force

Base, Royal Air Force Lakenheath, Wake Island (Pacific Regional Support Center), Melrose

Air Force Range, and Whiteman Air Force Base, with additional units continuously being added by DAF Major Commands (MAJCOMs) and Installation Wing Safety units for detection and avoidance of bird hazards to aircraft.

Over the past several years, advancements in commercially available Small Unmanned

Aircraft Systems (sUAS) have posed an operational security threat to DAF Installation assets and a hazard to safe aviation operations from midair collision events. To combat this threat, DAF security and counter-sUAS agencies have worked to advance sUAS intrusion detection technologies. However, commercially available BDRs have begun to market dual-detection capability for bird hazards and sUAS targets. These systems differentiate sUAS targets and bird hazards of varying sizes within detection ranges (i.e., B/DDR). Within the DAF, Wings and MAJCOMs have expressed interest and need for detection of wildlife and sUAS strike hazards to safe aviation operations. However, a department-wide solution currently does not exist.

DAF promotes use of BDRs through guidance in Air Force Instruction (AFI) 91-212, Bird/wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazard Management Program, encouraging integration of BDR output into site-specific bird hazard avoidance operations and procedures. However, no formal policies, Concept of Operations, or requirements for BDR use in DAF Bird/wildlife

Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) Programs exist. To formalize use of BDR technology into

DAF BASH directives, a streamlined acquisition strategy must be standardized, enabling

DAF Commanders with a tool for compliance and proactive BASH safety.

1.0 DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT

1.1. Concept. The DAF experiences thousands of bird strikes each year during flight operations in low-altitude, airfield environments. As a result, the DAF incurs millions of dollars in aircraft damage due to wildlife strike events. The occurrence of hazardous bird abundances on/near airfields threatens the safety of aircrews and reduces the combat capability of military aircraft to fulfill the Department of Defense mission.

DAF Flight Safety (SEF) Offices employ integrated wildlife hazard management operations, consistent with requirements and guidance in AFI 91-212, Bird/wildlife Aircraft Strike

Hazard Program Management. Current DAF policy requires each installation to implement local bird hazard avoidance procedures, formally known as a Bird/wildlife Hazard Warning

System. This unit-defined system requires use of a tiered approach to restricting local flight conditions based on Bird Watch Conditions; an observed wildlife occurrence that could affect flight operations, resulting in a wildlife strike event. Under an increased Bird Watch

Condition, aircraft operations can be restricted or terminated based on the threat posed by wildlife, visually observed by ground personnel, Air Traffic Control, and/or aircrews.

Designation of Bird Watch Condition by observation is exclusively limited to the range of sight for air operations personnel or Air Traffic Control supervisors. Confident issuance of

Bird Watch Condition is restricted to diurnal air operations (e.g., confirming night bird activity is impossible without enhanced detection equipment). DAF installations with BDR units have reported instances where hazardous bird conditions were detected and avoided, but occurred outside the visual range of detection for operations personnel.

Information provided from B/DDR output can provide real-time hazard avoidance and enhance Mid Air Collision Avoidance (MACA) Programs while supporting requirements from Air Force Instruction 91-202, The US Air Force Mishap Prevention Program, paragraph 7.3.3. Currently, DAF policy for sUAS detection focuses on ensuring operational security from intrusion, with no specific radar requirement for MACA and SEF considerations.

The varying features of sUAS, including size, shape, coloration, and sophisticated movement capabilities, could negatively impact safe flight operations and pose an even greater detection challenge than wildlife. Airport wildlife biologists can anticipate movement of birds based on a familiarity with species behavior and known attractants on/surrounding the airfield.

Unlike birds, the movement of a sUAS aircraft is unpredictable, especially if the sUAS operator has malicious intent for operation within a DAF airfield environment. Siting sUAS with ground observers and maintaining visual confirmation over significant linear distances is inefficient and impractical for assuring midair avoidance by manned aircraft operations.

Integration of BDR and B/DDR technologies into DAF SEF programs enhances a unit’s ability to safeguard mission integrity and maintain combat capability through mishap prevention/avoidance. Detection of bird hazards and analysis of local bird movement provides BASH Managers with the data needed for immediate avoidance decisions and provides information to execute long-term management changes to the aerodrome landscape.

Detection of sUAS will aid air space management and avoidance procedures for manned

DAF aircraft operations (e.g., MACA program).

1.2. Scope. The objective of this SOW is to provide the DAF with a streamlined acquisition solution for BDR or B/DDR units and support services. The purchase of radar units and services under this SOW may occur as initial investments into detection radar technology; to recapitalize aging, inefficient BDRs currently maintained at DAF airfields; or to support sustainment of current radars on DAF installations. The availability of funds within each Squadron, Wing, and/or Major Command will dictate the number of radar units acquired under this SOW. The department-wide standup of BDR technologies involves over

59 DAF locations and within 140 Air National Guard units. The BOA may also be opened up to the wider Department of Defense community as needs are identified.

Acquisition under this BOA is accomplished through a Delivery or Task Order made by through Ordering Activities (OAs). Each Order could include:

Unit purchase of BDR or B/DDR with one-year equipment warranty and service support package, including radar site planning, delivery (Continental United States [CONUS] and/or Outside the Continental United States [OCONUS]), user training, and support service

Five-year full-service system support program (e.g., to include maintenance, data storage, data analysis, and training)

BDR upgrade to include sUAS detection capability

4.0. Operational Security

4.1. Purpose. Contractor adherence to DAF and Department of Defense (DoD) Operations

Security (OPSEC) requirements is mandatory, to include stipulations under this SOW.

Adherence to OPSEC requirements includes real-time changes occurring throughout the life cycle of this agreement. Government contractors are provided this guidance to ensure compliance and protection of critical information that may be a threat to national security.

4.2. Definition. OPSEC is a methodical process to identify Critical Information (CI), identify threats to that CI and the related vulnerabilities and risks of exploitation to that CI, and identify, develop, and implement countermeasures to protect that CI. CI is specific facts about friendly intentions, capabilities, and activities vitally needed by adversaries for them to plan and act effectively so as to guarantee failure or unacceptable consequences for friendly mission accomplishment. CI includes those facts, which individually or in the aggregate, reveal sensitive details about U.S. Government (i.e. DAF installation or the contractor’s security or operations related to the support or performance of the SOW). These sensitivities require a level of protection from adversarial collection or exploitation not normally afforded to unclassified information. OPSEC supplements, but does not replace traditional security practices such as Physical Security and Information Security. OPSEC is essential to ensure the initial and continued success of our mission, operations, systems, and procedures.

4.3. OPSEC Applicability. OPSEC safeguards are an essential Task required for all Orders under this agreement. The contractor will adhere to the following minimum requirements in support of the DAF OPSEC Program:

Introduction of personnel electronic devices into government spaces, laptops, tablet PCs, cellular phones, cameras, recording devices, and data recording/storage devices is

STRICTLY controlled and forbidden in some areas of DAF installations. Photography and recording is not allowed except for official use and by permit only, unless otherwise stipulated in the Order.

Contractor personnel shall not discuss government operations in public or over unprotected or unencrypted communications. Official business, controlled unclassified information may only be transmitted as directed in the SOW.

The contractor shall not post to company websites, publications, newsletters or other media any images, data or information that reveal sensitive government operations, personnel, equipment, and/or classified or controlled unclassified information. When in doubt, company press releases related to this BOA and any Orders should be coordinated through the Ordering Activity’s Contracting Office.

Because observation of events, operations, physical changes, and other related actions may reveal National Security information, specific restrictions are needed to preclude unintentional release of this information to unauthorized parties. (Unauthorized disclosure and transfer of National Security Information is punishable under 18 USC §

793). Therefore, contractor personnel shall not disclose to unauthorized third parties, post to unofficial sites (including Social Networking sites) any images, data or information, or observed events that reveal sensitive government operations, personnel, or equipment.

Government-issued badges and identification shall be removed and/or concealed from plain sight when off installation and shall not be left unprotected. Badges and passes may not be duplicated or copied or loaned to others. Lost or stolen identification credentials will be immediately reported to the Installation Security Forces Law Enforcement Desk.

Practice OPSEC and implement countermeasures to protect CI and other sensitive unclassified information and execution of military operations performed or supported by the contractor in support of the mission.

The contractor shall mark and protect related internal production schedules, deliverables, inventories, shortages, and identified vulnerabilities related to production of government material. Internal company markings e.g., Business Sensitive, etc., are appropriate for identifying the aforementioned as sensitive information. Specific Government-provided information, drawings etc., will be protected in accordance with guidance in applicable

Sections of this SOW.

Destroy critical and/or sensitive unclassified information no longer needed to prevent the inadvertent disclosure and/or reconstruction of this material.

Critical information identified by Installation Safety Office will be marked and handled appropriately as Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). Government CI includes but is not limited to: known or probable vulnerabilities to any U.S. system and their direct support systems, details of information about military operations, unit, vessel, aircraft movements/arrivals, missions and exercises, etc.

CUI initial and annual refresher training will be required for all contractors. The contractor shall not access, download or further disseminate any CUI outside the execution of the defined contract requirements without the guidance and written permission of the government Contracting Officer.

Questions regarding CI shall be directed to the Installation OPSEC Program Manager or

DAF OPSEC Support Team.
