Section 2: Resource Request Information

1. Resource Requested: Small Unmanned Aircraft System (sUAS) Team Type 2

   • Resource ID: 2-508-1246

   • Resource Typing Definition: Per FEMA RTLT, the sUAS Team Type 2 consists of 1 Remote Pilot in Command (Remote PIC) with FAA Remote Pilot Certificate and 1 Technical Specialist – sUAS, operating a small UAS (weight < 55 lbs) compliant with FAA Part 107. The team provides situational awareness via real-time imagery, data, or verbal assessment using photogrammetry, live video, thermal imaging, and lidar to support the Common Operating Picture (COP), planning, and Incident Action Plan (IAP) development.

2. Quantity: 1 Team

3. Detailed Description/Specifications:

   • Make and Model: DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise

   • Operating Weight: 2.3 lbs (1.05 kg), including payload (camera, thermal sensor).

   • Manufacturer’s Country of Origin: DJI – China (cybersecurity compliance verified per DHS CISA guidelines).

   • Capabilities:

     • High-resolution RGB camera (20 MP) for visual documentation.

     • Thermal imaging (640x512 resolution) for heat signature detection.

     • Lidar module for 3D mapping and terrain analysis.

     • Real-time video streaming (1080p, 30fps) to Incident Command.

     • Flight time: ~45 minutes per battery, with 3 spare batteries included.

     • Operates within FAA Part 107, including night operations (with anti-collision lighting) and visual line of sight (VLOS).

   • Personnel:

     • 1 Remote PIC with FAA Remote Pilot Certificate and 200+ hours of sUAS flight experience.

     • 1 Technical Specialist – sUAS for data processing, photogrammetry, and mission planning.

   • Accessories:

     • Ground Control Station (GCS) with secure encrypted data link.

     • Standard sensors: RGB camera, thermal camera, lidar module.

     • Carrying case, 3 batteries, charging hub, and tablet for GCS operation.

4. Line Item Breakdown of Costs:

   • Aircraft and GCS: $7,500 (DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise kit).

   • Sensors (thermal, lidar): $3,200.

   • Personnel Costs: $2,000/day (2 personnel, including travel, per diem, and labor for 1-day deployment).

   • Total Estimated Cost: $12,700 for initial 24-hour deployment.

5. Method Used to Determine Cost Reasonableness:

   • Costs verified against GSA Advantage schedules for DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise (contract #GS-07F-1234X).

   • Personnel rates benchmarked against FEMA AEL item 03OE-07-SUAS and recent sUAS team deployments in Region V.

   • Vendor quotes from authorized DJI resellers (e.g., DroneNerds, B&H Photo) compared for equipment pricing.

6. Number of Neighboring Jurisdictions with Similar Capability:

   • Two jurisdictions within 100 miles have sUAS teams available:

     • Wood County Emergency Management Agency (Type 2 sUAS Team via EMAC).

     • Toledo Fire and Rescue Department (Type 3 sUAS Team via MOU).

   • Neighboring teams unavailable due to concurrent deployment for Hurricane Bravo.

7. Justification of Need:

   • The sUAS Team Type 2 is required to conduct aerial damage assessments of flooded areas in Lucas County following Hurricane Bravo.

   • Specific tasks include mapping flooded neighborhoods, identifying stranded individuals, and assessing damage to critical infrastructure (e.g., bridges, power lines).

   • Compared to alternatives (e.g., manned helicopters, satellite imagery), the sUAS provides cost-effective, high-resolution, real-time data with rapid deployment and no risk to human pilots.

   • The DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise’s thermal and lidar capabilities are critical for nighttime operations and 3D flood mapping.

8. Integration into State/Urban Area Operational Plans:

   • Aligns with Ohio’s State Emergency Operations Plan, Emergency Support Function (ESF) #9 – Search and Rescue, and ESF #4 – Firefighting.

   • Enhances COP for Incident Command by providing real-time imagery and data to support IAP development.

   • Coordinates with Lucas County Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) for mission tasking.

9. Terrorism Prevention/Incident Response Equipment:

   • The sUAS will be equipped with:

     • 20 MP RGB camera for detailed visual documentation.

     • 640x512 thermal camera for detecting heat signatures (e.g., survivors, electrical faults).

     • Lidar module for 3D mapping of incident areas.

   • Supports terrorism prevention by enabling rapid assessment of critical infrastructure for potential threats (e.g., compromised bridges, suspicious activities).

10. Operational Use:

    • Deploy to conduct aerial reconnaissance of flooded zones in Lucas County.

    • Support USAR teams by identifying safe access routes and locating stranded individuals.

    • Provide real-time video and data to Incident Command for situational awareness and decision-making.

    • Mission duration: Initial 24-hour deployment, with potential extension based on incident needs.

11. Non-Emergency Use:

    • Training: Monthly flight exercises to maintain Remote PIC proficiency and test equipment.

    • Community Outreach: Public safety demonstrations at local schools and emergency preparedness fairs in Toledo.

    • Preparedness: Routine inspections of Maumee River levees and infrastructure to enhance resilience planning.

12. Certification of DHS CISA Compliance:

    • The Lucas County Emergency Management Agency certifies review of DHS CISA UAS Fact Sheets and the Chinese Manufactured UAS Industry Alert on HSIN.

    • Cybersecurity measures include encrypted data links, regular firmware updates, and isolated GCS networks to mitigate risks.

13. Privacy, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties Compliance:

    • Per the February 20, 2015, Presidential Memorandum, the agency has policies to safeguard privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties.

    • UAS operations restrict facial recognition, limit data retention to 30 days, and comply with FAA Part 107 to minimize hazards to persons and property.
