Customs and Border Protection (CBP) guards nearly 7,000 miles of U.S. land border and 2,000 miles of coastal waters surrounding Florida, Texas, and Southern California. CBP Air and Marine Operations (AMO) uses air assets to support law enforcement. United States Border Patrol sponsored a pilot program on the MQ-9 Predator B Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) in 2004, intending to study the feasibility of using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to provide long-endurance Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition support to ground agents in the U.S. Southwest Border.

The MQ-9’s unique capability for enduring covert surveillance of illicit activities along U.S. borders and approaches is in high demand by CPB and its partners. This demand exceeds the ability of the current fleet to fully satisfy, resulting in a less-than-optimal distribution of UAS missions among internal and external customers. However, before acquiring any additional MQ-9, CBP should complete development of infrastructure supporting MQ-9 operations. Decentralized MQ-9 Operations would benefit from a unifying vision and centralized doctrine. CBP and its partners should develop detailed SOPs that fully support a comprehensive MQ-9 Concept of Operations. Check out this stunning MQ-9 CBP Jet Black Lithograph art by – Squadron Posters!
