Background

The current diverse fleet of 35 cutters is comprised of nine classes and subclasses. If recapitalization is deemed to be the appropriate solution for replacing this capability, standardization of the fleet would be one of the primary strategic goals. The USCG also seeks the ability to integrate modern, mature, state of the market technologies into the fleet to improve communications, safety, affordability, environmental protection, crew accommodations to include mixed gender berthing, and operational efficiency.

Requirements

  • Replace capabilities of four Inland Buoy Tenders (WLI) in the U.S. Coast Guard’s existing Inland Waterways & Western Rivers fleet.
