coordination. The continued implementation of TAK across the UA will also provide the opportunity to test the functionality of the TAK program during regional LE training events. The largest challenges will be keeping up with the rapid development of capabilities and technology integration that TAK offers so the system can be fully utilized. A training program will be developed to ensure users are able to accurately and effectively use this evolving technology. Additionally, the intent is for TAK partners in the UA to support TAK through technology integration as well as Standard Operating Procedure updates. Project success will be measured and evaluated through the ability of UA first responders to collaborate during multi -agency responses, such as would be needed during a DVE incident. Other alternatives currently in use are less robust and do not match the TAK application capabilities. In the 2020 UASI SPR, Interdiction and Disruption "Approaches for Addressing Capability Gaps and Sustainment Needs" identified the need for the purchase of equipment to support situational awareness systems and technology. The investment would support a common operating picture application that allows law enforcement teams to have access to pre -planning data packages, on -site geospatial awareness, interoperability communication, downlink and pole camera video integration, mapping and pin point features of critical routes, areas, and targets. Capabilities supported with this kind of technology would allow [first responders] to support complex missions by loading mission orders in data packages and by providing fluid geospatial awareness of assets during a complex coordinated terrorist attack. The TAK Working Group will be utilized to identify gaps in technology, guide grant funded investments, and coordinate local resources to support training opportunities. The UASI LE PM will ensure oversight of grant expenditures throughout the life cycle of the grant and assist in coordinating training. To maximize cost effectiveness, multiple bids will be requested with the use of a clearly delineated project scope. The project outcome is increased situation awareness in the field enabling first responders to better support responses during a DVE incident and save lives. With the focus on receiving timely and actionable information in real-time across a rapidly evolving threat environment through the use of TAK, this project directly ties to the NPA of DVE. PLANNING ORGANIZATION $0.00 $0.00 SOLUTION AREA EQUIPMENT TRAINING $75,000.00 $0.00 EXERCISE $0.00 TOTAL $75,000.00 PRIMARY CORE CAPABILITIES BEING ADDRESSED Interdiction and Disruption On -scene Security, Protection, and Law Enforcement ACTIVITIES TO BE PERFORMED • Purchase regional TAK • Deploy regional TAK • Inventory regional TAK (asset management) • Conduct training for users • Attend conferences on TAK Investment 5-2 (DVE): Situational Awareness Tactical Electronics Package This project will fund the purchase of two under -door pole camera systems, one wall radar system, and six Forward -Looking Infrared (Radar) (FLIR) for LE special team situational awareness use. Quantities may change due to actual costs. Nexus to terrorism: When dealing with radicalized domestic terrorists, special teams need information quickly to identify threats and locate victims to minimize further loss of life. To ensure the safety of personnel, they need to know what they are walking into and where their resources are located. Situational awareness tactical electronics orient special teams to the situation so they can adapt and quickly conform to the dangerous and rapidly evolving presence of terrorism and targeted violence.
