Quote:
"The impact [of reduced funding] will be quite serious. The Coast Guard is already operating the oldest fleet in the world. Its aircraft and communications systems are antiquated. Without adequate funding, it will not be equipped for the future."

Loren B. Thompson, The Lexington Institute, as quoted in Government Executive, February 4, 2003

Following 9/11, Homeland Security became a priority mission for the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard and other agencies must coordinate and focus on the real threats to our Nation, while maximising the use of its assets and people.

The planned Deepwater System will permit:

  • Real-time sharing of data and intelligence, extending situational awareness beyond the inherent boundaries of each system.
  • Interoperability with other agencies; intelligence data fusion to pinpoint potential risks and to maintain Maritime Domain Awareness.
  • Identification of high-risk vessel threats and cargo threats prior to reaching our shores and ports.
  • "Targeting," Interception and Control of high-risk vessels before they arrive at U.S. ports.
