2. U.S. Coast Guard C4ISR Acquisitions
Headquartered in Washington, DC
Segment 2 C4ISR system developed at detached office in Moorestown, NJ (near Lockheed Martin OEM)
Mission
We are professionals who oversee and execute the acquisition of C4ISR systems from design through sustainment planning in support of the Coast Guard’s Operational Forces
Vision
To be the benchmark for advanced C4ISR/C5ISR systems acquisition and integration for the Coast Guard, DHS, and maritime components
ASNE ISS Symposium| CDR James Betz | 20 May 2015

3. National Security Cutter class – C4ISR / CGC2
8-ship National Security Cutter class
5 cutters delivered since 2008 (Huntington Ingalls, MS shipyard)
NSC class C4ISR systems
Sourced from government (NTNO) and industry
Coast Guard Command and Control (CGC2) acquired from Lockheed Martin, Moorestown, NJ
First 4 ships of class initially delivered with Increment 1 CGC2
Second ship (USCGC WAESCHE) served as technology demonstrator platform for next-generation Segment 2 CGC2
Final 4 ships of class being delivered with Segment 2 CGC2
Remaining 3 ships of class being retrofitted with Segment 2 CGC2
ASNE ISS Symposium| CDR James Betz | 20 May 2015

4. C4ISR CGC2 Increment 1 – Segment 2 evolution
Meet evolving USCG mission requirements
Need for real-time data
Technology obsolescence
Global Command and Control System (GCCS) drop Unix
Windows OS - not real-time
Combat System safety and Combat System certification drivers
Sustainment: reduce lifetime support costs
Coast Guard as Systems Integrator
ASNE ISS Symposium| CDR James Betz | 20 May 2015

5. Design and Development of CGC2 Segment 2
Tactical and Situational Awareness Domains
Real-time versus non-real time capability
Use of U.S. Navy Common Source Library (software)
Additional capabilities, e.g. certified tactical data link
