It will involve a combination of commercially available off-the-shelf and custom development solutions to provide improved and net new functionality as required by operational users. BECN Integrated Business Operations System (iBOS): The BECN iBOS solution will modernize ten outdated administrative systems by integrating them into a scalable, secure, and unified ecosystem. Modernization of this program enables access to reliable data, increases operational efficiency, enhances mission-driven decision making, and provides an intuitive, user-focused experience to optimize the USBP administrative Border Security Assets and Infrastructure End Items: These procurements include funding for multiple technologies and assets for the USBP, including small unmanned aircraft systems, mobile surveillance capability, and seamless integrated communications.
