	95,000 MILES OF COASTLINE UNPROTECTED. Without the U.S. Coast Guard. Leaving us vulnerable. To things even we cannot imagine. The U.S. Coast Guard has a key role in protecting America. Keeping our waters secure and strategically pushing out our borders. The Coast Guard detects threats far offshore. Before they pose a danger to us. And while they continue their traditional missions — search and rescue, drug and migrant interdiction, environmental protection, and more — the safety and security of our waterways is the Coast Guard’s top priority. And the Deepwater program will provide the Coast Guard with the tools they need to surveil, detect, classify, identify, and prosecute any threat. Keeping our coasts clear. And our nation safe.
	THE COAST GUARD IS ON DUTY 24/7. BECAUSE PROTECTING OUR MARITIME BORDERS IS PRIORITY 1. Potential threats to our nation’s welfare should know one thing: the U.S. Coast Guard never sleeps. More than ever before, the Coast Guard is prepared to handle traditional missions like search and rescue, drug and migrant interdiction, and environmental protection – along with vital new missions like detecting threats before they reach our shores, keeping our waters secure, and strategically pushing out our borders. The Deepwater program provides the Coast Guard with every available resource to accomplish these crucial missions around the clock, day after day. All to keep threats where they belong: far, far away.
	$4.4 BILLION WORTH OF DRUGS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS. Without the U.S. Coast Guard. That’s a lot of money. And a lot of drugs. Drugs that will never reach our shores. Or our neighborhoods. Or our children. In fact, since 1997, the U.S. Coast Guard has seized over 540,476 pounds of cocaine and over 270,060 pounds of marijuana. But there are more drugs where those came from. That’s why the U.S. Coast Guard works tirelessly to reduce the supply of drugs from the source. Denying smugglers the use of air and maritime routes in the Transit Zone — a six million square mile area — including the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico and the Eastern Pacific. The mission doesn’t end there. It’s only the beginning. There’s also homeland security, search and rescue, migrant interdiction, maritime mobility, and environmental protection. The Deepwater program will provide the Coast Guard with the tools they need to detect, classify, identify, and prosecute any threat. Keeping drugs out of the hands of dealers. And smugglers where they belong — behind bars.
	162,413 PEOPLE LOST AT SEA. Without the U.S. Coast Guard. Search and rescue may be one of the U.S. Coast Guard’s oldest missions. But it’s still one of their most important. Since 1790, the Coast Guard has been the worldwide leader in maritime search and rescue. Providing aid to mariners — or anyone on our waterways — in distress. Through it all, the goal has remained the same. Minimize the loss of life, injury, and property damage. And one day eliminate the “search” in search and rescue by way of technology, education, research and development, regulation, and enforcement. But the mission doesn’t end there. It’s only the beginning. There’s also homeland security, drug and migrant interdiction, maritime mobility, and environmental protection. The Deepwater program will provide the Coast Guard with the tools they need to detect, classify, identify, and prosecute any threat to the safety of those at sea. Saving lives and property — and protecting our way of life.
	80 MILLION TONS OF FISH GONE FOREVER. Without the U.S. Coast Guard. It’s estimated that there’s a sustainable 80 million metric ton catch available in the world’s fisheries — 4.3 million tons harvested in 2001 by the U.S. alone. The Coast Guard’s fisheries law enforcement mission makes certain everyone will enjoy these resources forever. Providing a livelihood for our commercial fishermen. And maintaining a source of recreation for many sportsmen. But the mission doesn’t end there. It’s only the beginning. There’s also homeland security, search and rescue, and drug and migrant interdiction. The Deepwater program will provide the Coast Guard with the tools they need to surveil, detect, classify, identify, and prosecute any threat. Netting big rewards for fisheries managers. And making sure there are plenty of fish in the sea.
	Early warning. Timely interdiction. Adaptive response. Are your maritime forces up to the task? Deploying the U.S. Coast Guard’s Integrated Deepwater System is certainly one way for any maritime force to face challenges at sea and succeed. This System can maximize common Maritime operations, training, and maintenance while reducing acquisition, design and construction cost. The Deepwater goals are clear: to further secure a nation’s borders, protect fisheries, improve drug and migrant interdiction and expedite search and rescue. The Deepwater process is basic: use new technology and tools to determine your requirements, then maximize your overall operational mission effectiveness, all designed to prevent potential threats from reaching your shores. The Integrated Coast Guard Systems Team, led by Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman, stands ready to help the maritime forces of all U.S. allies and friends to succeed in their Maritime missions, no matter what the mission is.
