4. “ When it comes to securing our homeland, and helping people along the coast, the Coast Guard has got a vital and significant mission… We must make sure that our Coast Guard has got a modern fleet of vessels. We must make sure that port security is as strong as possible.” President George W. Bush The President Deepwater is the Answer

5. Early Design Top Level Planning Factors Proprietary/Competition Sensitive 5 l Replace All Deepwater Operational Assets l Specified Requirements for a National Security Cutter l Capped Funding Profile ä $300M in FY02 (FY 98 Dollars) ä $500M Annually FY03 Through FY42 (FY 98 Dollars) ä Operating Expense (OE) Capped at $996M / Yr.. l Maintain or Improve Operational Effectiveness l Manage Legacy Deepwater Assets

6. Key Operational Requirements SPS has specific NSC requirements Section 3.8  Speed, endurance, replenishment, survivability, … Requirements set direction for design development Robustness Flexibility Multi-mission capable Improved Asset / Platform Capabilities Increased major cutter speed allows greater responsiveness Improved cutter sea keeping increases on-scene presence and ability to launch boats and aircraft in adverse weather Stern launching of small boats decreases time required to prosecute Targets Common Operational Picture enables optimum use of available assets

7. National Security Cutter A Unique Component of the Integrated Deepwater System Designed to Meet the NSC Requirements of the Coast Guard’s System Performance Specification. Multi-mission, Military Vessel capable of working large range of Navy Operations. Endurance, Speed and Sea Keeping to meet all CG Missions Well equipped with Manned and Un-manned vehicles to extend detection ranges and increase prosecution of active cases. Extends Coast Guards reach through “Common Operational Picture” C4I Network.

8. National Security Cutter Modern Design to meet all of the Coast Guard’s traditional deepwater Missions and Homeland Security Requirements. Enhanced C4ISR makes the NSC a Key Asset in the Maritime Domain. New Sensors and UAV’s to Find, Enhanced domain awareness to Interdict, Highly Capable LRI Boats / VUAVs and Helos to work together to Prosecute All Targets. 425’, 3900 Ton, 28+ Knots; CODAG, Dual Stern Launch; Mission Module Capability; Dual Helo / UAV Hangar Capability; Flexible Accommodations / Operating Crew substantially smaller than comparable legacy cutters, Significantly Improved Habitability. New Requirements: Chemical, Biological, and Radiological detection
