Border Security

A boat moves through the water.

The Science and Technology Directorate (S&T) invests in border security research and development for technologies; provides solutions to prevent illicit movement and illegal entry or exit of people, weapons, dangerous goods, and contraband; works closely with border and immigration officials to understand how technology can help support their missions and overcome challenges; and manages risks posed by people and goods in transit. 

The following S&T programs focus on securing the nation’s borders on land, sea, and sky while deterring illegal trafficking of goods and people into the U.S. 

Visit S&T Impact: Borders and Ports of Entry to watch video and learn how the technologies and capabilities we deliver keep our borders and ports safe!
