1. BACKGROUND:

Under the authority of Title I, Sec. 101 Homeland Security Act of 2002 as amended, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was established to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States; reduce the vulnerability of the United States to terrorism; and minimize the damage, and assist in the recovery, from terrorist attacks that occur within the United States.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and the Office of Air and Marine Operations (AMO) are responsible for the interdiction of illegal contraband, persons, and serves as the first line of defense against terrorism. One mission set that has increased in demand recently is the ability to sling load equipment to and from inaccessible locations to accessible locations. AMO has moved other aircraft, communications repeaters, sensors, fuel, pallets and shipping containers. These large items cannot be carried on the interior of the aircraft and must be sling loaded into position. To ensure our crews have the right equipment to safely sling load these non-standard loads, the following equipment must be purchased:

-Adjustable Plasma Bridle (MLB4-EE-ADJ-UHMPE-5/8-85-133) -Jaw-Hook Type Swivel (D-115)

-Longline w/Zippered Covers (UHMPE-LL-TML-7/8-ET-50-Y)

-Longline w/Zippered Covers (UHMPE-LL-TML-7/8-ET-100-Y)

-Cargo net (CN4500-12-MIL)

-Cargo net (CN4500-20-MIL)

-Web Slings (EE2-902P-HTT x 10’)

-Shackles (G-4161-7/8) These essential pieces of equipment are necessary, in order to meet support requests from the U.S. Border Patrol to emplace sensors and repeaters. They also provide the agency with the ability to self-recover aircraft that break in remote locations and must be moved to load onto a trailer to get to a repair facility.

2. SCOPE:

The objective is to provide all AMO helicopter sling load team members with high quality sling load equipment. This equipment must be appropriately rated and configured to work together. Sling load equipment must be configured by a rigger certified by the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) trained in AMO helicopter operations.
