The NSC was designed to be the flagship of the fleet – capable of meeting all maritime security mission needs.The NSC contributes to Intelligence Collection/Information Sharing through a sophisticated S/SCIF, SEI sensors and increased data exchange bandwidth. The NSC’s Deepwater and DoD interoperability capabilities are enhanced with DHS- and local responderinteroperable radio communications. The NSC flight deck will accommodate all variants of DHS and DoD HH-60 helicopters to provide enhanced interoperability with interagency and inter-service counter-terrorism teams. The NSC will now be fully integrated with the National Distress Response Modernization Program, known as RESCUE 21, which will provide the port commanders with real-time tracking of the NSC and seamless Common Operational Picture/MDA data sharing, including the Automated Identification System (AIS). The NSC Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection suite will include underwater sonar that will allow the cutter to scan ports, approaches, facilities and high-value assets for underwater, minelike devices and detect swimmers. The cutter’s small arms mounts will be remote operated and fully integrated with the cutter’s radar and infrared sensors such that the cutter and high-value assets under its protection can be protected from a USS COLE-like incident. The Maritime Security Capabilities allow cutter’s weapons and command and control suite to be upgraded and hardened to better survive potential terrorist incidents and process increased data flow. This will include SRBOC/NULKA missile defense system with CIWS, SLQ-32, and a medium caliber deck gun (57MM) that will provide the ability to stop rogue merchant vessels far from shore. An integrated CBRNE Detection and Defense capability allows the NSC to remain on scene and operate in Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) scenarios.

Bay Class Icebreaking Tug
Length: 140 feet
Speed: 14 kts
Displacement: 690 tons
Range: 1,500 nautical miles
Propulsion: 2 Diesels
Aircraft: none
Crew: 17
Built: 1979-1988
Armament: 2 machine guns
Remarks: The 140-foot Bay-class Cutters are state of the art icebreakers used primarily for domestic ice breaking duties. They are named after American Bays and are stationed mainly in Northeast U.S. and Great Lakes. WTGBs use a low-pressure-air hull lubrication or bubbler system that forces air and water between the hull and ice. This system improves icebreaking capabilities by reducing resistance against the hull, reducing horsepower requirements. ALE equipped.

Long Range Interceptor
Length: 35 feet
Displacement: 6.5 Tons
Speed: 45 kts
Range: 400NM
Endurance: 10 Hours
Crew: 14
Armament: Machine Gun
Cost per unit: $.7 million
Planned Quantity: 33
The new 35-feet Long Ranger Interceptor (LRI) are being introduced for the Deepwater cutters. The quantity of LRIs are planned to compose a smaller part of Deepwater’s final strength in a trade off with the Short Range Prosecutor that maximizes the utility of these two small boat assets. The LRI will now receive critical DHS and DoD C4ISR interoperability improvements including MILSATCOM. The LRI provides the ability for a cutter to deploy an armed boarding or counter-terrorism team over the horizon, up to 100NM from the cutter at speeds of 45kts or more. The enclosed cabin of the boat will provide crew protection for up to 10 hours thereby increasing operational presence and deterrence in security situations. The bow-mounted M242 machine gun provides visible deterrence and stopping power against maritime targets.
Recently, the LRI successfully completed an interoperability test with USCGC BERTHOF. The Lockheed Martin C4ISR team demonstrated communications and navigation interoperability between the LRI and Bertholf at ranges up to 16 nautical miles. The LRI is currently involved with Berthof’s machinery trials.
Short Range Prosecutor (SRP)
Length: 25 feet
Displacement: 9 Tons
Speed: 32 kts
Range: 200NM
Endurance: 4 Hours
Crew: 2 + 8 PAX
Armament: Small Arms
Cost per unit: $.3 million
Quantity: 8
The SRP provides the capability to deploy armed boarding teams within 20 miles of the parent cutter at speeds of 32 knots. The SRP can exchange data with the parent cutter, thereby maintaining a coordinated response posture and respond quickly to security zone breaches.
The eighth SRP was delivered in January 2006. Production of SRPs was discontinued with the end of the 123-foot cutter conversion program.
47-foot Motor Lifeboat
Length: 47 feet
Remarks: The 47' motor lifeboat is designed as a first response rescue resource in high seas, surf & heavy weather environments. They are built to withstand the most severe conditions at sea and are capable of effecting a rescue at sea even under the most difficult circumstances. They are self-bailing, self-righting, almost unsinkable, and have a long cruising radius for their size. If overturned, the vessel will return to an upright position in 30 seconds or less. It is the replacement for the aging 44' MLB fleet.
There are (presently) 117 operational. The total, to be delivered over 5 years, will be 200.

Max Speed: 45+ knot
Cruising range of 50NM at 35 knots
Minimum crew of 2
Max seas of 6 ft
Survivable in up to 10 ft seas
Armament: Small Arms
Remarks: Developed in a direct response to the need for additional Homeland Security assets in the wake of the September 11th terrorist attacks, the Defender Class boats were procured under an emergency acquisition authority. With a contract for up to 700 standard response boats, the Defender Class acquisition is one of the largest boat buys of its type in the world. The 100 boat Defender A Class (RB-HS) fleet began arriving at units in May 2002 and continued through August 2003. After several configuration changes, most notably a longer cabin and shock mitigating rear seats, the Defender B Class (RB-S) boats were born. This fleet was first delivered to the field in Oct 2003, and there are currently 357 RB-S boats in operation.
The 457 Defender Class boats currently in operation are assigned to the Coast Guards Maritime Safety and Security Teams (MSST), Maritime Security Response Team (MSRT), Marine Safety Units (MSU), and Small Boat Stations throughout the Coast Guard. With an overall length of 25 feet, two 225 horsepower outboard engines, unique turning radius, and gun mounts boat forward and aft, the Defender Class boats are the ultimate waterborne assets for conducting fast and high speed maneuvering tactics in a small deployable package. This is evidenced in the fact that several Defender Class boats are already in operation by other Homeland Security Department agencies as well as foreign military services for their homeland security missions.
