BRIEFING NOTE

Use of Text Removed - Reporting Tools

This note aims at providing management information on the actual use of Text Removed - Reporting Tools
in different operational areas/purposes, including those that are co-financed by the Agency. The subject
is intended to be discussed during the Operational Board.

For that purpose the note has been elaborated jointly by Text Removed - Reporting Tools and Text
Removed - Reporting Tools, and it compiles the different needs and options - both for the use of Frontex
Text Removed - Reporting Tools and needs for co-financing Host MS, with view of the different options in
terms of identifying short-, medium- and possibly long-term priorities.

1. Current overview of confirmed deployments of participating MS aerial
assets, Text Removed - Reporting Tools and Co-financed host MS aerial assets

It has to be mentioned that Text Removed - Reporting Tools is chairing Text Removed - Reporting Tools to
coordinate the optimization of available/committed Text Removed - Reporting Tools in a near term
timeframe, considering constant factors raising from the technical (maintenance, failures) aspects
affecting the operationality of the Text Removed - Reporting Tools.

In addition, there are Text Removed - Reporting Tools on Text Removed - Human Resources between Text
Removed - Reporting Tools , Text Removed - Reporting Tools Text Removed - Reporting Tools and Text
Removed - Reporting Tools in order to forecast emerging needs and developments regarding aerial
surveillance. Decisions taken at this level will address medium term timeframe.

e Text Removed - Reporting Tools has not been approved as a concept for JO Indalo.

The shared foreseen deployment of Text Removed - Reporting Tools to cover different needs (one asset
for Text Removed - Reporting Tools, Text Removed - Operational Area, Text Removed - Reporting Tools +
Text Removed - Reporting Tools) is a flexible approach, however, it also entails the risks for
unavailability in case of any unexpected changes and/or malfunctions

 

3. Financial aspects

Text Removed - Reporting Tools will be able to cover financially from its budget the deployments of host
MS airplanes mentioned above and proposed below taking into account recent shortening of deployment

 

The above mentionied Text Removed - Reporting Tools contracts, with the relative deadlines, are the last
Text Removed - Reporting Tools that have been signed or will be shortly signed under Text Removed -
Reporting Tools These are all covered by Text Removed - Reporting Tools budget. Next Text Removed -
Reporting Tools will be under new Text Removed - Reporting Tools We do not know which will be the
reaction of the market to that Text Removed - Reporting Tools, this means that

4. Upcoming RPAS developments

At the moment there are two service order requests sent to Text Removed - Reporting Tools Text
Removed - Operational Area and Text Removed - Operational Area.

The requests to Text Removed - Reporting Tools have been sent out after having sent a request of
expression of interest to all the potential endusers (Text Removed - Operational Area, Text Removed -
Operational Area Text Removed - Operational Area).

The three MS have replied positively. Text Removed - Reporting Tools already provided concrete
availability to host the asset. Text Removed - Operational Area and Text Removed - Operational Area,
expressed interest with the need of further discussion.

 
 

with Text Removed - Reporting Tools flying hours. Planned base airport is Text Removed
- Operational Area in Text Removed - Operational Area. The total cost of the service is Text Removed -
Reporting Tools and the cost of 1 flight hour is Text Removed - Reporting Tools. This service has been
requested by Text Removed - Reporting Tools for supporting Text Removed - Reporting Tools, in order to
fulfil the operational needs communicated previously for 2021, and would be covered by 2020 Text
Removed - Reporting Tools budget

The service order for Text Removed - Technical Equipment to Central Med is being assessed by Text
Removed - Reporting Tools due to lack of budget. Service is to be delivered
with Text Removed - Reporting Tools flying hours. The request is for Text Removed -
Operational Area or Text Removed - Operational Area with the base airport to be defined.

   
 

In order to allow Frontex to use 2020 budget, the service should start not later that Text Removed -

2. European cooperation on Coast Guard functions (inter-agency cooperation - see details below)

3. Pre-frontier surveillance service (Text Removed - Reporting Tools /RPAS)
Before listing priorities it becomes relevant to point out that priorities below established have a
risk analysis background and are also supported by the service requests addressed by the MS to
Text Removed - Reporting Tools
a. With the intent of providing assistance to SAR, early warnings and also of keeping the
situational picture updated, the Pre-Frontier surveillance priorities, are:
i. Text Removed - Operational Area
ii. Text Removed - Operational Area
ii. Text Removed - Operational Area
iv. Text Removed - Operational Area
v. Text Removed - Operational Area
vi. Text Removed - Operational Area
b. In what concerns RPAS, considering the capability to remain airborne for more than Text
Removed - Reporting Tools hours, the number of MS that demonstrated interest in the
service (Text Removed - Operational Area, Text Removed - Operational Area and Text
Removed - Operational Area), the fact that no relocations are possible for the whole
duration of the contract, the priorities are:
i. Text Removed - Operational Area (Text Removed - Reporting Tools)
ii. Text Removed - Operational Area
