2005 Project Scope: 93 Cutters 206 Aircraft C4ISR Systems/Network Logistics Infrastructure Project Scope: 93 Cutters 206 Aircraft C4ISR Systems/Network Logistics Infrastructure Today’s Deepwater Assets Reaching the End of Useful Service Life

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

110' Island Cutter Service Life Extension The Service Life Extension Program will upgrade, physically renovate and double the service life. Achieves an improved asset within the legacy fleet. The renovation program is planned to minimize disruption of Coast Guard operations The Matagorda : First 110' being renovated to a 123'. Will leave Miami January 24, 2003 and arrive at Bollinger, Lockport LA on February 2, The renovation will be completed by mid November Details on the upgrade: Upgrade C4ISR capabilities Refurbish exterior, extend hull and renovate pilot house Improve habitability Extend length 13 feet, for improved handling at faster speeds  Install stern launch ramp - for faster and safer RHIB boat launch

Development Integration& Test Center (DITC) Facility DITC Facts - Ground breaking – December 11, ,000 sq. ft 2. 16,000 sq ft dedicated to lab space 3. Expected to open in the Fall of The facility will test, develop and integrate all C4ISR solutions

The Integrated Coast Guard System business model is designed to ensure the Coast Guard has the latest, most cost effective, operationally capable system possible. Process to ensure best value throughout program execution Downselect decisions are deferred as long as practicable Prohibits guaranteed work share that inhibits system design (i.e. no Teaming Agreements) Mandates a system engineering framework that supports continuous competition for components Requires continuous evaluation and competition through a wide variety of methods/tools Market Surveys Trade Studies Industry Days RFI’s/RFPs’ Open Business Model Update

Coast Guard OPTEMPO Post 9/11 statistics on USCG OPTEMPO Recalled 2,700 Reservists Boarded and Inspected 10,000 + vessels Established “Sea Marshalls” with existing personnel Established and maintain 100 “No-Sail” security zones Established and maintain 96 hour pre-arrival notice Launched a Nationwide Port Security Assessment Program Plus Responded to 31,500 + Search and Rescues Saved 3,200 + lives Seized 111,903 LBS. of Cocaine and 37,024 LBS of Marijuana Assisted 39,000 People in Distress Maintaining the Highest Level of Port Security Since WWII

OPTEMPO Overall Results Coast Guard Ships and Aircraft useful life projections has been decreased due to 9/11 OPTEMPO Coast Guard’s overall missions have dramatically increased including pushed out our sea borders and protecting 300+ ports and numerous waterways Decommissioning of these critical assets will accelerate due to this new OPTEMPO The Pace of re-capitalization affects both Homeland Security and traditional missions and must continue at current project levels

Summary Deepwater embodies prudent Financial Stewardship through a system approach to re- capitalization of assets and mission readiness Contract is performance based for both maximum Operational Effectiveness at minimum Total Ownership Cost Increased OPTEMPO, Old Expensive Assets, and Lack of Modern Technologies Mandates Deepwater funding as …. ”A National Priority”

“ 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
