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

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


5

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


6

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

Installation of CGC2 Segment 2 aboard NSC class (USCGC WAESCHE)

• Retrofit installation, Coast Guard Island, Alameda CA

• 100 days: rip-out Increment 1; install, test/IV&V, and train Segment 2


9

Operation of CGC2 Segment 2 (USCGC WAESCHE)

• Arctic patrol, 2013

• Pacific patrols, 2014

• Rim of the Pacific (RIMPAC), 2015. Interoperability exercises with US Navy and Joint Forces


10

Future of CGC2 Segment 2

• Installation on board all 8 NSC class cutters

• Transition to sustainment, including plans for periodic Tech Refresh and Tech Insertion to minimize impacts due to obsolescence

• Relocation / expansion of CGC2 CGSAIL Lab to U.S. Navy facility in order to support Segment 2 sustainment including future USCG acquisition efforts
