Domain Awareness consists of collection, integration and analysis of surveillance, intelligence, and any-source information, and the timely sharing of this information with those who need it to make decisions or operate effectively.
Tethered aerostat operations include eight fixed aerostat sites with all aerostats and support systems, radars, cameras, weather detection equipment, communications systems, mooring systems, facilities, special purpose vehicles, associated equipment, and personnel necessary to accomplish the mission.
The contractor shall fly TARS at eight sites for the purpose of providing surveillance data to CBP primary stakeholders. The Contractor shall provide program management, operations and maintenance (O&M), mission support, and life-cycle management support, to provide effective and efficient TARS support for the Counter Drug/Counter Narcotics Trafficking (CD/CNT) and air sovereignty missions.
