CAP Presence Overseas Units Japan – 3 Germany – 2 Korea – 1 Note: Overseas units do not support operational missions, but rather are there to support dependent children staying involved in the cadet program while their parents serve at bases overseas.

Civil Support Approval Process DoD policies that govern coordination and approval of requests for support to civil authorities normally do not apply to the Air Force Auxiliary The SECAF designee (1st/11th/13th CC), may respond directly to civil-support requests, including those involving counter-drug activities, using the services of CAP Approval authorities must ensure that CAP missions supporting State/local agencies or NGOs as AFAMs must demonstrate a “federal interest” in the activity CAP may only support an agency or department of the Federal government in its capacity as the Air Force Auxiliary ACCE Teams, AOC Personnel and EPLOs needs to understand that DoD policies that govern coordination and approval of requests for support to civil authorities normally do not apply to the Air Force Auxiliary. The SECAF designee (1st/11th/13thCC), may respond directly to civil-support requests, including those involving counter-drug activities, using the services of CAP, subject to the following restrictions: The 1st/11th/13thCC will inform the responsible Combatant Commander about the number and type of CAP missions approved in their area of responsibility-done through Air Tasking Order. In the event that the responsible Combatant Commander is exercising operational or tactical control over DoD missions in the operational area, the 1st/11th/13thCC will approve and exercise control over CAP civil support missions. The Air Force will refer all requests for CAP support to the Joint Director of Military Support (JDOMS) when such requests either appear to be more appropriate for other DoD components or require the use of other Air Force resources. Approval authorities must ensure that CAP missions supporting State/local agencies or NGOs as AFAMs must demonstrate a “federal interest” in the activity. For example, CAP support was requested for California Wild Fires on USFS land for reconnaissance of critical infrastructure such as a key power generating facility. This would clearly be of “federal interest” and eligible for AFAM status. State requests for routine support such as agriculture or wildlife surveys would usually not rise to the level of “federal interest.” CAP may only support an agency or department of the Federal government in its capacity as the Air Force Auxiliary

CAP … Remain Under Military Control/Direction … CAP Mission Requests NORTHCOM Report Requirement AFNORTH-1AF (CAOC) Report Tasking CAP (NOC) 888-211-1812 Federal Agencies Report For SAR missions always go direct to AFRC at the CAOC AFNSEP EPLOs can approve Immediate response is appropriate when necessary to: Save lives Prevent human suffering Mitigate great property damage under imminently serious conditions Execution State/local Agencies or NGOs CAP Wing CAP … Remain Under Military Control/Direction …

Immediate Response Requests Immediate response is appropriate when necessary to: Save lives Prevent human suffering Mitigate great property damage under imminently serious conditions CAP must receive authorization from the 1st/11th/13th AF/CC to conduct an immediate response mission

Cost-effective CAP normally receives agency mission funding via a MIPR The above rates are based on FY12. The rates can be found online at: http://comptroller.defense.gov/rates/, specifically: http://comptroller.defense.gov/rates/fy2012/2012_f_h.pdf. We use the Other Federal User rate for comparison since we are normally providing services to DHS or another federal agency. Notes: Chart shows average cost per flying hour CAP normally receives agency mission funding via a MIPR

Typical Missions CAP credited with saving 54 lives in FY11! Multiple wings – Hurricane, tornado and flood damage assessment for federal, state and local agencies Multiple wings - Low level route surveys Multiple wings - Air Defense training support Multiple wings - Drug Interdiction Multiple wings - Air Show support & photo surveys National Interagency Fire Center support FL, ME, NH, SD & TX - Fire watch ME - Escort for new Navy ships PA - Port of Philadelphia HLS missions Ardent Sentry exercises AK - USCG HLS missions NC - Forward Air Controller training AR, AZ, NM, OK & TX - Falcon Virgo training CO - USAFA Aircraft vectoring training HI - Tsunami warning training AZ, DE & MD - Traffic monitoring missions FL, MD, MS & NY - Coastal Safety Patrol

ADIS

ADIS Technology that enables CAP to send high resolution digital imagery from CAP aircraft to anyone anywhere in the world Images are sent as JPEG attachments via standard e-mail to multiple addresses and/or a password-protected website Imagery is transmitted near real-time. Files take less than 2 minutes to transmit

ADIS We routinely augment civil and military agencies with damage assessment, disaster relief, search and rescue and recovery teams as well as providing perimeter security at disaster sites. We also often work with the NTSB on aircraft accidents.

ARCHER What is ARCHER? Airborne Real-Time Cueing Hyperspectral Enhanced Recon

ARCHER ARCHER is a custom-designed system of hyperspectral imaging hardware and software (HSI). HSI is a technology that allows a sensor on a moving platform to detect and/or gather reflected radiation (light) from man-made or natural objects on the ground. Hyperspectral Imaging will support current and future CAP missions Search and Rescue (SAR) Disaster Relief (DR) Homeland Security (HLS) Tree/Plant Disease Detection

ARCHER ARCHER executes three separate algorithms for target acquisition and identification: Spectral signature matching: detects specific spectral signatures using matched filters (find things with known spectral properties) Missions: HLS, Tree/Plant Disease Detection Anomaly detection: detects spectral anomalies (things that do not “belong”) Missions: Search and Rescue, Disaster Relief Change detection: detects changes over time through a pixel-by-pixel comparison. Missions: HLS, Disaster Relief

ARCHER ARCHER is a non-invasive reflective light technology ARCHER will NOT make detections: Through solid materials (e.g., roofs, buildings, walls, floors, etc.) Underground Under snow Under water At night

Surrogate Predator Green Flag operations began in LA in Oct 2009 and in NV in Jul 2010 - Air Combat Command has a requirement for high fidelity aircrew training, including training involving the Predator remote piloted aircraft(RPA). - Use of the Predator RPA is difficult due to real-world operational tasking and difficulty using an RPA in FAA controlled airspace. - Two Civil Air Patrol (CAP) Cessna 182Q aircraft have been modified with the “Surrogate Predator” advanced sensor system to support Air Force GREEN FLAG training. A third Cessna T206H is being modified now to support this program, and is expected to be ready in the summer of 2012. - Mission aircraft will be modified with a Continental IO 470F engine, extended range fuel tanks and a MX-15i turret and Mini-CDL-200, compatible with ROVER III and future ROVER systems - The mission bases for the Surrogate Predator are currently in Alexandria, Louisiana and North Las Vegas, Nevada - CAP supports one 7 to 10 day exercise each month at each location for ACC. - Each aircraft is generally available to support other events outside of those exercises, or can be re-tasked for high priority real world mission response by AFNORTH. Goal: Train US ground forces in Predator ops before they deploy to Iraq and Afghanistan
