PROJECT NAME AND DESCRIPTION I. Describe the completed or planned activities associated with development of partnerships between the public and private section or operational overtime associated with World Cup events. Two City of Miami Police Department (MPD) overtime personnel, one (1) officer and one (1) Sergeant, will provide essential operational support to MPD's Drone First Responder (DFR) Unit by performing continuous monitoring, detection, and identification tasks using the UAS detection system during peak hours of the 28-day FIFA Fan Fest, located at Bayfront Park in Downtown Miami. While these overtime officers will conduct the hands- on work of operating the detection interface and validating system alerts, all strategic decisions —including deployment, communication with command staff, coordination with MPD's Intelligence Support Section, Real - Time Crime Center, other deployment units and response actions —remain under the authority of MPD's existing DFR Unit sergeants and officers. These DFR personnel, who will also receive FBI NCUTC counter-UAS training, retain full responsibility for operational management and tactical direction and direct the work of the overtime staff requested for this project. The overtime personnel's role is to maintain real-time airspace awareness by actively monitoring detection feeds, verifying UAS activity, distinguishing between authorized and unauthorized flights, and relaying validated information to the supervisory DFR team. Their work ensures that the trained DFR supervisors and officers receive accurate, timely detection intelligence to guide strategic decisions and coordinate with federal aviation and intelligence partners. These personnel will supplement the existing Drone First Responder (DFR) Unit by providing extended -hour coverage during Fan Fest peak event periods from 7:00 P.M. to 1:00 A.M., which also includes two hours before and after Fan Fest operations. By extending coverage during high -risk evening hours —when crowds are densest and unauthorized UAS activity is most likely —the overtime staff ensure uninterrupted operation of MPD's counter-UAS detection system. This allows the DFR Unit to focus on higher -level responsibilities, including deployment of MPD drones, interagency communication, and real-time tactical assessment based on verified detection data. Integrated into the DFR workflow, overtime personnel help enable rapid drone deployment, provide continuous situational awareness, and support lawful airspace management across the Fan Fest footprint and surrounding soft - target areas. Their presence ensures that MPD's C-UAS posture remains fully operational throughout FIFA events, directly strengthening MPD's ability to prepare for, protect against, and respond to unsafe or threatening UAS activity during this high -visibility international event. FEMA FORM XXX (MM/YY) Page 6 of 26 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Federal Emergency Management Agency This draft Investment Justification Template should be used until the final form is approved by OMB OMB Control Number: TBD Expiration date: TBD PART II. CAPABILITY GAP II. Explain how planned or completed activities will address or have addressed gaps to implement the necessary security measures and strengthen capabilities during World Cup matches. MPD currently lacks the personnel capacity to maintain continuous C-UAS monitoring during the extended operating hours of the 28-day FIFA Fan Fest and surrounding soft -target areas. While the Drone First Responder (DFR) Unit provides strategic oversight, deployment decisions, and coordination with RTCC and federal partners, the department has insufficient staffing to sustain the level of real-time airspace awareness required for a SEAR Level 1/2 event with expected attendance of 600,000-1 million visitors. The planned overtime assignments directly address this gap by ensuring MPD can staff dedicated operators to run the UAS detection platform during peak -risk hours (7:00 P.M.-1:00 A.M.). These personnel will conduct the hands-on monitoring, detection validation, and identification work necessary to maintain continuous coverage. Their efforts allow the trained DFR sergeants and officers —who retain responsibility for C-UAS strategy, deployment, and interagency coordination to make informed operational decisions based on verified detection intelligence. By filling this critical staffing gap, the overtime activity strengthens MPD's ability to detect unauthorized or unsafe UAS activity, rapidly communicate validated threats to command staff, and maintain persistent situational awareness across the event footprint. This staffmg support ensures MPD can fully implement the necessary airspace security measures during FIFA World Cup events and significantly enhances the City's capability to prepare for, protect against, and respond to UAS threats throughout the duration of the tournament. PART III. PROJECT OBJECTIVES III. Specify how requested funding will enhance the ability of local law enforcement, emergency responders, and public safety officials to prepare for, protect against, and respond to threats and emergencies during the World Cup matches. The requested overtime funding directly enhances MPD's ability to prepare for, protect against, and respond to UAS threats during the World Cup by ensuring continuous, real-time monitoring of the C-UAS detection system during the highest -risk operational hours of the 28-day FIFA Fan Fest. With dedicated personnel assigned from 7:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m., MPD can maintain uninterrupted airspace awareness and immediately validate UAS alerts, providing the Drone First Responder (DFR) Unit with accurate, actionable intelligence for operational decision -making. This activity advances the C-UAS Grant Program's goals and objectives by ensuring MPD has the operational capacity to detect, track, and identify UAS activity throughout the event footprint. By expanding staffing resources, MPD strengthens its ability to differentiate authorized commercial or recreational flights from unauthorized or potentially malicious UAS operations, allowing trained DFR supervisors —who retain responsibility for deployment strategy, interagency coordination, and communication with command staff —to act swiftly and lawfully in response to aerial threats. FEMA FORM XXX (MM/YY) Page 7 of 26 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Federal Emergency Management Agency This draft Investment Justification Template should be used until the final form is approved by OMB OMB Control Number: TBD Expiration date: TBD The overtime coverage also directly supports Program Goal 1: Strengthening national preparedness, by ensuring MPD can maintain full C-UAS capability during extended operational periods associated with a SEAR Level 1/2 global event. It supports Program Goal 2: Protecting critical infrastructure and mass gatherings by enabling MPD to sustain persistent detection coverage in the primary non -stadium FIFA venue—Bayfront Park —and surrounding high -density soft -target areas such as Downtown and Brickell. Finally, it advances Program Goal 3: Supporting deployment of C-UAS detection and identification systems, by ensuring that MPD's newly acquired detection platform is continuously staffed, lawfully operated, and integrated into the City's broader incident management structure. Overall, the overtime funding strengthens MPD's ability to maintain real-time situational awareness, accelerate threat assessment, enhance interagency coordination with fire -rescue and federal partners, and ensure rapid response to unauthorized or threatening UAS activity during the World Cup. This ensures that MPD can fully support FDEM's statewide C-UAS security posture and safeguard the public throughout one of the highest -profile events hosted in the City of Miami. PART IV. SUBRECIPIENT IMPACT IV. (If applicable) Describe how subrecipients will assist in described activities. The Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) is the primary SLTT applicant, and the City of Miami Police Department (MPD) will serve as a subrecipient responsible for implementing counter-UAS activities within City of Miami jurisdiction, including the 28-day Fan Fest at Bayfront Park and surrounding soft -target areas. As the second-largest municipal police department in Miami -Dade County and the agency with jurisdiction over the primary non -stadium FIFA event footprint, MPD plays a critical operational role in supporting FDEM's statewide C-UAS posture. Under this Organization Activity, MPD will provide overtime personnel to conduct continuous monitoring, detection validation, and preliminary identification of UAS activity using the C-UAS detection platform. These operators will feed verified detection intelligence to MPD's Drone First Responder (DFR) Unit, which retains responsibility for operational decisions, communication with command staff, deployment of MPD drones, and coordination with RTCC, FDEM, and federal aviation and intelligence partners. By staffing the detection system during peak -risk evening hours, MPD enables FDEM to maintain uninterrupted C- UAS situational awareness within one of the highest -density FIFA event zones in the state. This subrecipient support strengthens Florida's overall ability to prepare for, protect against, and respond to unauthorized or unsafe UAS activity and ensures the statewide C-UAS framework includes seamless coordination between local, state, and federal partners. FEMA FORM XXX (MM/YY) Page 8 of 26 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Federal Emergency Management Agency This draft Investment Justification Template should be used until the final form is approved by OMB OMB Control Number: TBD Expiration date: TBD PART V. PERFORMANCE GOALS V. Specify how the requested funding will address the performance goals listed in Section 3.E of the NOFO for the relevant allowable activity. Identify specific, measurable outcomes that will be used to evaluate the project's success. The requested overtime funding directly enables MPD to meet the performance goals in Section 3.E by ensuring that the C-UAS detection system is actively monitored and fully operational during the extended evening hours of the 28- day FIFA Fan Fest. Without overtime personnel, MPD would lack the staffing necessary to maintain continuous system uptime, validate detections, or produce the required federal performance metrics. By assigning one Sergeant and one Officer from 7:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. each night, the department can consistently collect and report the total number of hours the detection system is in active use, providing a measurable record of operational coverage during, the World Cup period. Overtime operators will review every alert generated by the detection platform, allowing MPD to accurately document the cumulative number of UAS detections, including repeat detections of the same aircraft. Their validation process ensures MPD can also determine the number of distinct UAS identified by distinguishing unique aircraft from repeated detections, producing a meaningful measure of actual UAS activity within the Fan Fest airspace. When unauthorized or unsafe UAS operations are detected, overtime personnel will immediately relay the validated intelligence to the Drone First Responder Unit, whose trained supervisors retain responsibility for operational decisions and enforcement actions. This workflow enables MPD to track the total number of criminal investigations launched based on intelligence provided by the detection system, ensuring that all violations of airspace restrictions or endangeiinent of the public are documented and acted upon. PART VI. BUDGET AND TIMELINE VI. A. Provide a detailed budget breakdown for project costs, including labor, materials, equipment, and administrative expenses. Include timelines for project completion and implementation, with key milestones clearly identified. Two City of Miami Police Department (MPD) personnel —one Sergeant and one Officer —will provide overtime staffmg to support extended -hour counter-UAS monitoring operations during the 28-day FIFA Fan Fest. Each member will work 168 hours of overtime (6 hours/night x 28 days) to maintain continuous monitoring of the C-UAS detection platform from 7:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. Total Project Cost: $28,193.53 Personnel Costs: $27,790.56 The Sergeant's overtime rate is $94.33 per hour x 168 hours= $15,847.44 The Officer's overtime rate is $71.09 per hour x168 hours= $11,943.12. The total Personnel cost is $27,790.56. Fringe Benefits:$402.97 Fringe benefits for overtime are calculated at the City's FICA rate of 1.45%. Fringe benefits include FICA expense, pension allocation, health insurance, life insurance and worker's compensation per police officer compensation/benefits guidelines. The Sergeant's fringe cost is $15,847.44 x 1.45% = $229.79 FEMA FORM XXX (MM/YY) Page 9 of 26 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Federal Emergency Management Agency This draft Investment Justification Template should be used until the final form is approved by OMB OMB Control Number: TBD Expiration date: TBD Officer's fringe cost is $11,943.12 x 1.45% = $173.18 The total Fringe Benefits cost is $402.97. VI. B. Provide a timeline for costs. The implementation schedule table should be used as a planning tool for the key activities associated with each objective for which the applicant is requesting funding. For each project and each year of the grant, the applicant should include the activities necessary to accomplish the goals of each project, as well as the estimated start and completion dates (by calendar quarter) for each activity.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1. Describe the completed or planned activities associated allowable equipment. The City of Miami Police Department (MPD) will support the Florida Division of Emergency Management by deploying C-UAS detection systems at FIFA 2026 venues, advancing the goals of the FIFA World Cup Grant Program to strengthen national preparedness and protect critical infrastructure and mass gatherings from UAS threats. MPD will acquire and deploy a UAS detection unit equipped with integrated radio frequency (RF) sensors and a built-in PTZ camera system at FIFA World Cup 2026 venues, including the 28-day unticketed Fan Fest at Bayfront Park. This platform will provide real-time detection, tracking, identification, and visual confirmation of drones and their pilots to secure Miami's SEAR Level 1/2 environment. With FIFA events expected to draw 600,000-1 million visitors, the system will deliver the airspace awareness and threat detection capabilities necessary to safeguard high -density, soft - target areas. While this proposal includes all detection infrastructure for the City of Miami and a buffer area extending into the ocean, the system is designed to operate as part of a larger, regional UAS detection architecture. MPD's deployment is anticipated to be fully interoperable with the detection systems proposed by neighboring jurisdictions, ensuring seamless linkage and compatibility across a multi -agency operational environment. The combined detection network is expected to function as an integrated regional system covering approximately 56 square miles within City of Miami jurisdictional boundaries (36 square miles of land and 20 square miles of water). It is further understood that the Common Operating Picture (COP) generated from this system will also be accessible to other FIFA host cities and federal partners —including DHS and the FBI —supporting coordinated C-UAS activities, interagency communication, shared situational awareness, and unified operational decision -making. FEMA FORM XXX (MM/YY) Page 12 of 26 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Federal Emergency Management Agency This draft Investment Justification Template should be used until the final form is approved by OMB OMB Control Number: TBD Expiration date: TBD The UAS Detection System will enable MPD to enact C-UAS countermeasures across Downtown Miami, Brickell, and other FIFA satellite gathering sites within City of Miami jurisdiction. Its integrated RF sensors and AI -enabled PTZ camera will allow MPD to distinguish authorized recreational or commercial flights from potentially malicious activity, geolocate drone operators, and capture evidentiary -quality imagery. Detection data will feed directly into MPD's Investigative Intelligence Section and Real Time Crime Center (RTCC) for live monitoring and coordinated response with state and federal partners. To support reliable system operation, MPD will upgrade its Remote Pilot Stations with enhanced PCs, additional monitors, and dual -display stands capable of running Skydio X1OD, Skydio Cloud, UAS tracking platforms, flight planning tools, and weather/TFR monitoring simultaneously. Continuous operational connectivity will be maintained through high-speed satellite internet technology monthly subscriptions and portable High-speed satellite internet technology Mini roaming units, supported by shielded Ethernet cabling to ensure stable, high-speed communication even during network disruptions or intentional interference. MPD will also implement a UAS airspace management platform, an FAA -integrated airspace management platform that provides flight authorization checks, B4UFLY/LAANC services, and real-time airspace deconfliction. This system fills a critical intelligence gap by confirming whether a detected flight is authorized, enabling MPD to rapidly distinguish benign operations from threats across all FIFA event zones. To ensure safe coordination with aviation partners, MPD will establish a VHF communications suite that includes handheld VHF radios, a fixed base station, antenna systems, adaptors, fiber extenders, and installation services. These components collectively support essential air -to -ground communication with helicopters and other aviation assets during FIFA operations, enabling synchronized airspace management and safe UAS mitigation activities. Finally, MPD will procure a Cargo Truck to transport the UAS detection unit, portable roaming systems and communications components between FIFA venues and satellite areas. This ensures secure, rapid, and flexible deployment of all C-UAS assets throughout the City of Miami. PART 11. CAPABILITY GAP II. Explain how planned or completed activities will address or have addressed gaps to implement the necessary security measures and strengthen capabilities during World Cup matches. MPD currently has no counter-UAS detection capabilities, even though the agency has encountered unauthorized drone activity at prior mass -gathering events, creating a critical public -safety vulnerability given the scale of upcoming FIFA operations. The planned deployment of a UAS Detection System equipped with RF sensors and an integrated PTZ cameras directly fills this gap by giving MPD the ability to detect, track, and visually confirm drones in real time across FIFA events and surrounding soft -target areas. These systems address the heightened threat environment created by the FIFA 2026 World Cup, which is expected to attract 600,000-1 million visitors from June to July. FEMA FORM XXX (MM/YY) Page 13 of 26 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Federal Emergency Management Agency This draft Investment Justification Template should be used until the final form is approved by OMB OMB Control Number: TBD Expiration date: TBD The project also addresses additional capability gaps by upgrading MPD's Remote Pilot Stations to manage UAS detection feeds, flight data, and weather/TFR information in real time; establishing backup satellite connectivity to ensure uninterrupted operations during network congestion or outages; and implementing VHF aviation communications, which are currently lacking, to support safe air -to -ground coordination with helicopters and other aviation assets during FIFA operations. The addition of a UAS airspace management platform closes a critical gap in MPD's ability to verify whether a detected drone is authorized by integrating FAA flight information and enabling rapid airspace deconfliction. Integrating all detection and airspace data into the Investigative Intelligence Section and RTCC further strengthens MPD's ability to coordinate response, conduct risk assessments, and secure SEAR Level 1/2 events. Overall, the project provides the foundational tools needed to implement essential airspace security measures and strengthen MPD's operational capabilities during the World Cup. PART III. PROJECT OBJECTIVES III. Specify how requested funding will enhance the ability of local law enforcement, emergency responders, and public safety officials to prepare for, protect against, and respond to threats and emergencies during the World Cup matches. The requested funding will equip MPD with a UAS Detection System that enable officers to detect, track, and identify unmanned aircraft systems in real time, directly supporting the program's primary objective to ensure SLTT agencies have the resources, training, and operational capacity to counter UAS threats. These capabilities will strengthen national preparedness by providing MPD with its first dedicated C-UAS resources and protect critical infrastructure and mass gatherings at, including FIFA off -site satellite events within City of Miami boundaries and the 28-day Fan Fest at Bayfront Park. The funding will also enhance MPD's ability to prepare for and respond to aerial threats by supporting upgraded Remote Pilot Stations for improved situational awareness, satellite connectivity to maintain uninterrupted operations, and VHF aviation communications that enable coordinated air -to -ground response with helicopters and other aviation assets. Implementation of UAS airspace deconfliction platform will further improve operational decision -making by distinguishing authorized from unauthorized flights and ensuring MPD can lawfully and effectively conduct airspace security operations consistent with federal regulations. By enabling MPD to field these capabilities, the project directly advances the program goals and objectives to expand SLTT UAS detection capacity, safeguard large-scale events, and operationalize federally aligned airspace protection measures. Integrating detection and airspace data into the Investigative Intelligence Section and RTCC will improve coordination with emergency responders and federal partners, enabling faster threat assessment and safer crowd management across soft -target areas expected to draw 600,000-1 million visitors. This funding ensures MPD can prepare for, protect against, and respond to unmanned aerial threats during 2026 FIFA World Cup events.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION I. Describe the completed or planned activities associated with allowable training (workshops, conferences, travel, supplies, etc.). The City of Miami Police Department (MPD) will enhance its operational readiness for FIFA 2026 by sending four personnel —two supervisors and two officers —from the Investigative Intelligence Section and Drone First Responder Unit to the FBI's National Counter-UAS Training Center (NCUTC) in Huntsville, Alabama. The 80-hour, two -week NCUTC program provides comprehensive instruction on drone law, threat assessment, UAS detection and tracking technologies, mitigation strategies, air -domain security, and the integration of counter-UAS systems into large-scale event operations. The curriculum includes classroom instruction, hands-on practical exercises, and realistic scenario -based training designed to prepare state and local law enforcement personnel to counter illicit drone activity. As the federal government's primary hub for counter-UAS training —modeled after the FBI Hazardous Devices School —the NCUTC is uniquely suited to support security planning for major special events such as the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Training two supervisors is essential to ensuring proper oversight, adherence to safety protocols, and effective operational coordination during counter-UAS deployments. Their participation will strengthen MPD's ability to enforce procedures, maintain situation awareness, and support Command Staff decision -making during critical incidents. Training two subordinate officers will provide the unit with certified operators capable of safely deploying, monitoring, and managing counter-UAS equipment in real-time operational environments. This is particularly important given anticipated retirements within the Drone First Responder Unit, making this training critical to long-term sustainability. Funding will cover all allowable travel expenses associated with the training, including round-trip airfare from Miami to Huntsville, lodging, meals, and local transportation needed for participants to travel to and from the trainin_ facili and move within the Huntsville area. PART II. CAPABILITY GAP II. Explain how planned or completed activities will address or have addressed gaps to implement the necessary security measures and strengthen capabilities during World Cup matches. MPD currently lacks personnel certified to operate or support counter-UAS mitigation technologies, creating a significant capability gap as the City prepares for SEAR Level 1/2 FIFA World Cup events. The planned training at the FBI National Counter-UAS Training Center (NCUTC) directly addresses this gap by providing MPD supervisors and officers with the required federal certification, operational knowledge, and technical proficiency to manage and deploy the C-UAS detection systems acquired through this grant. The NCUTC program delivers the strategic, legal, and operational competencies needed to counter illicit drone activity, including threat assessment, detection and tracking procedures, airspace deconfliction, and coordination with federal aviation and intelligence partners. This training ensures MPD personnel can correctly interpret detection data, assess intent, distinguish authorized from unauthorized UAS activity, and safely manage airspace threats durin: mass- :atherin . events. FEMA FORM XXX (MM/YY) Page 19 of 26 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Federal Emergency Management Agency This draft Investment Justification Template should be used until the final form is approved by OMB OMB Control Number: TBD Expiration date: TBD By preparing two supervisors and two officers to serve as MPD's certified counter-UAS operators, the training strengthens MPD's ability to implement necessary security measures at the 28-day Fan Fest at Bayfront Park and multiple satellite gathering sites throughout the City of Miami. It also ensures MPD can support real-time coordination with the Investigative Intelligence Section, RTCC, and state and federal partners throughout World Cup operations. The training builds the internal expertise required for MPD to safely and lawfully deploy the new counter-UAS equipment and enhances the department's capability to protect the public during FIFA 2026. PART III. PROJECT OBJECTIVES III. Specify how requested funding will enhance the ability of local law enforcement, emergency responders, and public safety officials to prepare for, protect against, and respond to threats and emergencies during the World Cup matches. The requested training funding will enhance MPD's ability to prepare for, protect against, and respond to UAS threats during FIFA World Cup operations by ensuring that key personnel are fully certified to operate counter-UAS technologies. Training two supervisors and two officers at the FBI National Counter-UAS Training Center (NCUTC) directly supports the program's primary objective by building the operational capacity needed to detect, track, identify, and —where authorized —mitigate UAS threats at SEAR Level 1/2 venues. This training strengthens national preparedness by giving MPD the expertise necessary to deploy portable counter-UAS systems throughout the 28-day Fan Fest at Bayfront Park and surrounding soft -target areas that will draw more than 600,000 visitors. NCUTC instruction equips personnel with the legal, technical, and tactical knowledge required to interpret detection data, assess risk, coordinate with aviation assets, and support airspace security alongside state and federal partners. These capabilities directly advance program goals to protect critical infrastructure and mass gatherings and to support the lawful deployment of UAS detection and identification systems. Upon completion, trained personnel will serve as MPD's internal cadre of certified counter-UAS operators, enabling real-time coordination with the Investigative Intelligence Section, RTCC, emergency responders, and federal partners during World Cup operations. Overall, the training ensures MPD can safely and effectively manage aerial threats, enhance situational awareness, and respond quickly to emergencies during FIFA 2026. PART IV. SUBRECIPIENT IMPACT IV. (If applicable) Describe how subrecipients will assist in described activities. The Florida Division of Emergency Management (FDEM) is the SLTT agency leading this effort, and the City of Miami Police Department (MPD) will serve as one of its subrecipients. As the subrecipient with jurisdiction over the 28-day Fan Fest at Bayfront Park and several major satellite event areas, MPD plays a critical role in supporting the state's counter-UAS preparedness for FIFA 2026. FEMA FORM XXX (MM/YY) Page 20 of 26 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Federal Emergency Management Agency This draft Investment Justification Template should be used until the final form is approved by OMB OMB Control Number: TBD Expiration date: TBD For the training component, MPD will identify and send the supervisors and officers who will become certified counter-UAS operators through the FBI National Counter-UAS Training Center (NCUTC). These trained personnel will assist in implementing counter-UAS operations within the City of Miami and will coordinate closely with FDEM, other subrecipients, emergency responders, and federal partners to ensure interoperable and consistent C- UAS practices during World Cup operations. MPD's participation ensures that certified operators are available in the jurisdiction hosting some of the largest mass -gathering events associated with FIFA 2026, strengthening statewide readiness and supporting FDEM's overall mission to protect critical infrastructure and the public. V. PERFORMANCE GOALS V. Specify how the requested funding will address the performance goals listed in Section 3.E of the NOFO. Identify specific, measurable outcomes that will be used to evaluate the project's success. The requested training funding will allow MPD to meet the performance goals in Section 3.E by ensuring that personnel responsible for operating the C-UAS detection systems are fully trained and capable of supporting all required federal reporting metrics. Training four personnel at the FBI National Counter-UAS Training Center (NCUTC) provides the operational expertise needed to interpret detection data, classify UAS activity, document airspace incidents, and coordinate investigative follow-up. Training will directly support MPD's ability to report the following federally required performance measures: 1. The total number of hours each C-UAS detection system is actively deployed and operating since acquisition. 2. The cumulative number of UAS detections recorded by the system, including repeated detections of the same aircraft. 3. The number of unique UAS identified, ensuring multiple detections of the same drone are counted only once. 4. The total number of criminal investigations initiated based on intelligence produced by the detection system, including violations of restricted airspace or unsafe UAS operation. Short-term outcomes include MPD meeting program funding targets by allocating approximately 20% of grant funds to training, ensuring operators are certified and prepared to safely and effectively use the detection technology procured with the remaining 80%. Mid- to long-term outcomes include enabling MPD personnel to: (1) accurately identify and classify at least 90% of detected UAS using NCUTC instruction on UAS types, behavior patterns, and risk indicators; and (2) FEMA FORM XXX (MM/YY) Page 21 of 26 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND SECURITY Federal Emergency Management Agency This draft Investment Justification Template should be used until the final form is approved by OMB OMB Control Number: TBD Expiration date: TBD ensure that 100% of identified violations —when UAS operators endanger the public or violate airspace restrictions —are referred for investigation. These outcomes will be measured through system analytics, operator logs, and RTCC case tracking. PART VI. BUDGET AND TIMELINE VI. A. Provide a detailed budget breakdown for project costs, including labor, materials, equipment, and administrative expenses.
