S&K Security Group (SKSG) provided comprehensive engineering services for the deployment of RVSS systems tower sites. These services included:
- Complete construction architectural and engineering support
- Civil/grounding and electrical drawings
- Compliance with TIA-222-G/R-56/FAA-019e specifications
The RVSS upgrade systems were deployed in Nogales, Douglas, Naco, and Yuma, AZ Areas of Responsibility (AoR), with additional sites later added in California and Texas. Key aspects of the project included:
- Deployment of microwave backhaul communication systems
- Warehousing and post-deployment Contractor Logistics Support (CLS) for the Integrated Logistics Support Systems (ILSS)
- Maintenance of System Availability requirements, including both preventative and corrective maintenance of the RVSS Tower sites
SKSG dispatched maintenance crews based on need, with at least two Rescue Certified Climbers, to resolve issues categorized as:
- Priority 1: Critical situations where a sensor package or component on a tower is malfunctioning. Response time: within four hours during daylight or starting at daybreak the following day.
- Priority 2: Situations where the tower is still functioning but could become a Priority 1 issue. Response time: within 48 hours.
- Priority 3: Non-critical issues that could wait until the next scheduled Preventative Maintenance (PM) visit.
Additional support provided by SKSG included:
- Staffing an office/warehouse facility for Radar, Camera, Radio, Communication, and other equipment that make up the RVSS Sensor Suites.
- Providing personnel with CBP Background Investigation (BI) clearances to monitor the NOC/SOC and staff the workstations for the RVSS Upgrade at the applicable AoR Command and Control (C2) facilities.
- Performing duties required to monitor the NOC/SOC workstations in support of program technical, security, and operational availability requirements.
- Aligning NOC/SOC monitoring functions with GDOS’s Integrated Subcontractor Support Plan (ICSP) in direct support of SKSG’s Maintenance and Logistics Support (CMLS) Services for the RVSS Upgrade Program in each AoR.
