The U.S. Border Patrol (USBP) operates in a dynamic threat environment characterized by global terrorism, transnational crime, and changing political and economic conditions, all of which drive increasing volumes and complexity of cross-border activity. To meet these challenges, USBP prioritizes enhanced intelligence and data-driven capabilities to generate timely, accurate, and actionable information that enables the identification, disruption, and dismantlement of threat networks. These capabilities include tools, data services, and related technologies that support the collection, processing, analysis, and dissemination of information derived from a broad range of sources, including publicly available information.

Within this environment, Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) capabilities play a critical role in leveraging publicly available information to support intelligence production, targeting, and vetting. USBP must be able to collect, triage, process, and analyze large volumes of publicly available information and integrate OSINT-derived insights with other intelligence and law enforcement information, while ensuring that the use of OSINT remains consistent with applicable laws, policies, and oversight requirements.

Separately, the USBP Strategic Collaboration Group (SCG) leads the identification, piloting, and evaluation of advanced technology solutions, such as those supporting vehicle identification and tracking, digital media exploitation, radio frequency signal detection and geolocation, maritime domain awareness, vehicle counter-surveillance, and AI-enabled analytic workflows to enhance situational awareness and agent safety. As the volume, variety, and velocity of available data continue to grow, SCG must ensure that these technology pilots and related capabilities can effectively exploit emerging data sources and technologies in support of USBP’s mission.

To maximize the effectiveness of its intelligence and technology capabilities, the USBP requires a deliberate and coordinated approach to the planning, governance, and integration of these capabilities, ensuring they are fully aligned with broader intelligence and operational priorities. The USBP Headquarters Intelligence Division (INTEL) requires program management support to strengthen its ability to efficiently acquire, implement, and sustain platforms and tools that enhance analytic tradecraft, improve targeting and vetting workflows, and increase the speed and quality of intelligence support to operations that protect the homeland.
