SBInet Program Bid Opportunities
The Secure Border Initiative (SBI) is a comprehensive plan by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to gain operational control of the U.S. borders through the integration of increased staffing, interior enforcement, detection technology and infrastructure, and coordination on federal, state, local and international levels.
A critical component of SBI is SBInet, a program focused on transforming border control through technology and infrastructure. SBInet will provide frontline personnel advantages in securing the nation's land borders through the most effective integration of current and next generation technology, infrastructure, staffing and response platforms.
The SBInet solution will be managed and executed by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency, and will be deployed using a homeland security threat-based approach.

The Approach, Strategy and Deployment of SBInet
Approach
Boeing is leveraging the expertise and capabilities of our teammates to provide a system of systems, best value and low-risk solution to DHS and CBP. The Boeing SBInet team offers the combined experience in deploying large-scale systems integration efforts as well as in security, border security, surveillance systems and other areas that enable the team to understand the needs and challenges of CBP and the Border Patrol to deliver the right SBInet solution.
Strategy
Our strategy focuses on providing CBP and the Border Patrol with detailed Situational Awareness through our Common Operating Picture to give every field agent the advantage of real-time, integrated information about illegal crossing activity and operations by Border Patrol and other supporting law enforcement agencies.
Our team will deploy the appropriate mix and amount of systems along border areas that are between points of entry to detect those approaching the border. Border enforcement areas are divided into sectors, each with a local command center. The Boeing team's system will detect, monitor and classify potential and actual crossers. At that point, the system will enable sector command centers to dispatch the right agents and resources to respond to the scene.
Deployment
Our team will deploy the following hardware and software systems:
- Ground-based and tower-mounted sensors, cameras and radars
- Fixed and mobile telecommunications systems
- Ground-penetrating detecting systems
- Command and control center equipment
- Information database and intelligence analysis systems
