Component Budget Overview

The Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 Budget includes $13.8B; 52,273 positions; and 51,076 full-time equivalents (FTE) for the U.S. Coast Guard. 

The Coast Guard is a branch of the U.S. Armed Forces and the principal Federal agency responsible for maritime safety, security, and environmental 

stewardship in U.S. ports and inland waterways, along more than 95,000 miles of U.S. coastline, throughout the 4.5 million square miles of U.S. 

Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), and on the high seas. As a military service, a law enforcement organization, a regulatory agency, a member of the 

U.S. Intelligence Community, and a first responder, the Coast Guard supports Department of Defense (DOD) Combatant Commanders on all seven 

continents, secures U.S. maritime borders, combats transnational criminal organizations, and safeguards the $5.4T U.S. Marine Transportation 

System (MTS). The Service leverages an expansive array of military, interagency, international, and industrial relationships, capabilities, and 

authorities to maximize strategic effect and support DHS and National priorities. 

The FY 2025 Budget sustains readiness, resilience, and capability while building the Coast Guard of the future to ensure the Service has the assets, 

systems, infrastructure, and support needed to enhance the Nation’s interests in an increasingly complex and connected world. The FY 2025 Budget 

provides funding to enable the Coast Guard to continue to recapitalize legacy assets and revitalize aging shore infrastructure. The Budget also

supports the U.S. maritime community by providing funds to counter sexual misconduct in the merchant mariner community and to enable 

transformation of the Coast Guard’s mariner credentialing system. The FY 2025 Budget includes funding for all 11 statutory Coast Guard missions.

The FY 2025 Budget continues efforts for the Coast Guard’s highest acquisition priorities, including the Offshore Patrol Cutter. Additionally, the FY 

2025 Budget provides funding to support the Service’s transition to an all MH-60T rotary wing fleet.

The FY 2025 Budget provides resources for the Coast Guard to conduct today’s highest priority operations in support of National objectives, 

including meaningful expansion in the Indo-Pacific through addition of personnel to bolster engagement in the region and procurement of highly 

capable Fast Response Cutters in support of the Indo-Pacific Strategy of the United States. In FY 2025, the Coast Guard will accept delivery of more 

capable, modernized assets, and the FY 2025 Budget provides the resources to operate and maintain these new assets, including personnel and 

operations and maintenance funding for three Offshore Patrol Cutters (OPC), crew for the first Waterways Commerce Cutter (WCC), and operations, 

maintenance, crew, and mission support elements for seven Fast Response Cutters (FRC). Additionally, the FY 2025 Budget provides operations, 

maintenance, and crew funding for HC-130J and MH-60T helicopters.

Reports 

Environmental Compliance and Restoration (EC&R) Project Backlog Impact 

The information presented below fulfills the directive in Senate Report 114-68 accompanying the Fiscal Year (FY) 2016 Department of Homeland 

Security Appropriations Act (P.L. 114-113): 

“The Coast Guard is directed to include in its annual budget justification a listing of the activities projected to be funded by the 

amount requested under this heading and an updated backlog report for Environmental Compliance and Restoration projects, with an 

explanation of how the amount requested will impact this documented backlog.”

The Coast Guard's prioritized listing of projects eligible for EC&R funding is reflective of the Coast Guard’s review of current EC&R requirements 

and both completion and consolidation of projects. Estimated costs include restoration work to be accomplished in various stages (i.e., investigation 

work, site remediation work, and long-term management and to be executed across several years (e.g., long term management can potentially extend 

out to 30 years or more). The following table provides a detailed listing of potential future EC&R priority projects. The list is adjusted as new 

information from complete assessments and project risk prioritization becomes available.

FY 2025 EC&R funding continues long-term monitoring (LTM), begins or continues investigation/remediation site work, and displays a 

commitment to ongoing identification, investigation, cleanup, and long-term management of contamination from hazardous substances and pollutants 

for Coast Guard systems, buildings, structures, and assets.

U.S. Coast Guard

Strategic Context

Component Overview

The Coast Guard is one of the six armed forces of the United States and the only military organization within DHS. The Coast Guard protects the maritime 

economy and the environment, defends our maritime borders, and saves those in peril.

The strategic context presents the performance budget by tying together programs with performance measures that gauge the delivery of results to our 

stakeholders. DHS has integrated a mission and mission support programmatic view into a significant portion of the Level 1 Program, Project, or Activities (PPAs) 

in the budget. A mission program is a group of activities acting together to accomplish a specific high-level outcome external to DHS, and includes operational 

processes, skills, technology, human capital, and other resources. Mission support programs are those that are cross-cutting in nature and support multiple mission 

programs. Performance measures associated with the Service’s mission programs are presented in two measure sets, strategic and management measures. Strategic 

measures communicate results delivered for our agency mission and are considered our Government Performance and Results Act Modernization Act (GPRAMA) 

measures. Additional supporting measures, known as management measures, are displayed to enhance connections to resource requests. 

Marine Transportation Systems Management: The Marine Transportation Systems Management program ensures a safe, secure, efficient, and environmentally 

sound waterways system. The Coast Guard minimizes disruptions to maritime commerce by assessing and mitigating risks to safe navigation and by providing 

waterways restoration capabilities after extreme weather events, marine accidents, or terrorist incidents. The Service works in concert with other Federal agencies, 

State and local governments, marine industries, maritime associations, and the international community to optimize balanced use of the Nation’s marine 

transportation system. The Aids to Navigation and Ice Operations statutory missions contribute to this program.

Strategic Measures 

Measure Name: Availability of maritime navigation aids

Strategic Alignment: 2.2: Expedite Lawful Trade and Travel

Description: This measure indicates the hours that short-range Federal Aids to Navigation are available. Aid availability rate (AAR) is based on an 

international measurement standard established by the International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse 

Authorities (IALA) (Recommendation O-130) in December 2004. A short-range Aid to Navigation is considered unavailable from the 

initial time a discrepancy is reported until the time the discrepancy is corrected.

 Fiscal Year: FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024 FY 2025

Targets: 97.5% 97.5% 97.5% 97.5% 97.5% 97.5% 97.5%

Results: 96.9% 96.5% 96.2% 96.3% 95.5% TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: This measure has been slightly below the established DHS target since 2016. Discrepancies with major fixed aids, like ranges and 

structures, contribute most to lower AARs, as these aids require more complex corrective actions. 

Corrective Action: The Coast Guard will continue multiple lines of effort to increase ATON service efficiencies to meet targets. Ongoing initiatives 

include ATON Mission Analysis and Fleet Mix Studies, optimizing e-ATON as appropriate, and continued study of next generation 

buoys and moorings to modernize the ATON constellation.

Results: 97.1% 100.0% 96.9% 94.0% 99.7% TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: Ice conditions during the 2022 - 2023 domestic icebreaking (DOMICE) season were mild across all three DOMICE Districts (the First, 

Fifth, and Ninth Coast Guard Districts). The program continues to explore new program measurements that can increase visibility of 

the mission.

Maritime Law Enforcement: The Maritime Law Enforcement program preserves America’s jurisdictional rights within our maritime borders. The U.S. Coast 

Guard is the lead Federal maritime law enforcement agency for enforcing national and international law on the high seas, outer continental shelf, and inward from 

the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone to inland navigable waters, including the Great Lakes. The following statutory missions contribute to the U.S. Coast Guard’s 

Maritime Law Enforcement program: Drug Interdiction; Migrant Interdiction; Living Marine Resources; and Other Law Enforcement.

Strategic Measures

Measure Name: Fishing regulation compliance rate

Strategic Alignment: 2.2: Expedite Lawful Trade and Travel

Description: This measure gauges the percent of all fishing vessels boarded and inspected at sea by the U.S. Coast Guard, which had no documented 

violations of domestic fisheries regulations. The U.S. Coast Guard boards and inspects U.S. commercial and recreational fishing vessels 

in the waters of the United States; U.S. commercial and recreational fishing vessels in the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ); and 
U.S. Coast Guard Strategic Context

Targets: 97.0% 97.0% 97.0% 97.0% 97.0% 97.0% 97.0%

Results: 98.0% 97.4% 97.2% 98.9% 99.1% TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: Of the 4,459 domestic fisheries boardings, 38 significant violations contributed to the compliance rate for FY 2023.

Measure Name: Interdiction rate of foreign fishing vessels violating U.S. waters

Strategic Alignment: 2.2: Expedite Lawful Trade and Travel

Description: This measure reports the percent of detected incursions into the U.S. EEZ by foreign fishing vessels that are interdicted by the Coast 

Guard. Preventing illegal foreign fishing vessels from encroaching on the EEZ is a priority for the Coast Guard. Foreign fishing fleets 

steal a valuable resource, resulting in a total economic loss to the American public. Protecting the integrity of the nation’s maritime 

borders and ensuring the health of U.S. fisheries is a vital part of the Coast Guard mission.

 Fiscal Year: FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024 FY 2025

Targets: 18.0% 35.0% 30.0% 40.0% 40.0% 40.0% 40.0%

Results: 46.0% 39.6% 47.0% 45.5% 22.0% TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: The majority of U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone incursions occur in the Gulf of Mexico, where 51 of 232 incursions were interdicted in 

FY 2023. In FY 2023, the Coast Guard surged resources in response to increased levels of irregular maritime migration, limiting

offshore fishery enforcement capacity. 

Corrective Action: To increase compliance, the Coast Guard will continue efforts to partner with the Government of Mexico to tie civil fishery violations 

to ancillary crimes that incur heftier penalties. Metrics analyses and updates will help focus efforts to best utilize and manage available 

resources.

Measure Name: Migrant interdiction effectiveness in the maritime environment

Strategic Alignment: 2.1: Secure and Manage Air, Land, and Maritime Borders

Description: This measure reports the percent of detected undocumented migrants of all nationalities who were interdicted by the U.S. Coast Guard 

and partners via maritime routes.

 Fiscal Year: FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024 FY 2025

Results: 86.1% 77.3% 47.2% 56.6% 52.8% TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: In FY 2023, a total of 17,771 migrants out of 33,628 known migrants transiting maritime routes towards the U.S. were interdicted by 

the Coast Guard, another U.S. government entity, or a partner nation. The U.S. Coast Guard continues to strategically leverage 

resources to maximize opportunity for interdiction. 

Corrective Action: The U.S. Coast Guard added a Federal Alert to Cuban and Haitian irregular migrant enrollments into the U.S. Government authoritative 

biometric databases, as appropriate, as a result of DHS' April 2023 Federal Register notices that expanded the eligibility of those 

Cubans and Haitians interdicted at sea attempting to enter the U.S. illegally.

Management Measures

Measure Name: Removal rate for cocaine by the U.S. Coast Guard from non-commercial vessels in maritime transit zone

Strategic Alignment: 2.1: Secure and Manage Air, Land, and Maritime Borders

Description: This measure reports the amount of cocaine removed plus the estimated amount jettisoned or destroyed during interdiction efforts by the 

U.S. Coast Guard on non-commercial vessels based on a three-year average annual maritime flow of cocaine. Removing cocaine from 

non-commercial vessels helps ensure effective maritime law enforcement and border control.

 Fiscal Year: FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024 FY 2025

Targets: 10.0% 10.0% 10.0% 10.0% 7.5% 7.5% 7.5%

Results: 9.3% 7.4% 6.4% 5.4% 3.6% TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: The Coast Guard’s major cutter and patrol boat assets in District 7 provided primary support to Migrant Interdiction Operations (MIO) 

mission during FY 2023. When tactical control of assets shifted to Joint Interagency Task Force South (JIATF-South), air assets were 

redirected to support that same mission. Ongoing efforts focused on maximizing any and all Coast Guard support to JIATF-South to 

include information sharing and use of partner nations. To this end, the end-of-year annual target was not met.

Corrective Action: Through FY 2023, the Coast Guard was able to dedicate an increased number of assets to JIATF-South and the counterdrug (CD) 

mission. The Coast Guard continues to assess how best to deploy assets across different mission areas (e.g., MIO, CD) and anticipates 

the removal rate for cocaine to increase accordingly.

Maritime Prevention: The Maritime Prevention program mitigates the risk of human casualties and property losses, minimizes security risks, and protects the 

marine environment. The following statutory missions contribute to the U.S. Coast Guard’s Maritime Prevention program: Ports, Waterways, and Coastal 

Security; Marine Safety; and Marine Environmental Protection.

Strategic Measures

Measure Name: Number of breaches at high-risk maritime facilities

Strategic Alignment: 1.2: Prevent and Disrupt Terrorist and Nation State Threats

Description: This measure reports the number of security breaches at facilities subject to the Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) where 

no Transportation Security Incident has occurred, but established security measures have been circumvented, eluded, or violated. 

MTSA facilities are a high-risk subset of the national waterfront facility population given the nature of their activities and/or the 

products they handle. As such, they pose a greater risk for significant loss of life, environmental damage, or economic disruption if 

attacked. MTSA regulated facilities constitute more than 3,400 high-risk subset of all waterfront facilities. They are facilities that handle 

certain dangerous cargoes, liquid natural gas, transfer oil, hazardous materials in bulk; or receive foreign cargo vessels greater than 100 

gross tons, U.S. cargo vessels greater than 100 gross tons carrying certain dangerous cargoes, or vessels carrying more than 150 

passengers.

 Fiscal Year: FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024 FY 2025

Targets: ≤307 ≤307 ≤306 ≤310 ≤422 ≤421 ≤420

Results: 331 320 373 499 491 TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: 
U.S. Coast Guard Strategic Context

USCG - 6

The Coast Guard identified an increase in a specific subtype of breaches. Each district that experienced an increase in this type of 

breach reported increases due to transient and unhoused populations within the vicinity of the regulated facilities who are gaining 

access by thwarting fences and stowing away on rail cars.

Corrective Action: The Coast Guard will conduct outreach through Area Maritime Security Committees to reiterate the importance of appropriately 

addressing these types of breaches. Enhancements are also in production to better tie breach metrics to the overall performance of the 

facility security plan (FSP). Enhancements will indicate whether a breach was appropriately addressed by security measures in place 

and what the impacts of the intrusion were.

Measure Name: Three-year average number of serious marine incidents

Strategic Alignment: 5.2: Strengthen National Resilience

Description: This measure reports the three-year average number of Serious Marine Incidents as defined by 46 CFR 4.03-2, which include: death or 

injury requiring professional treatment beyond first aid, reportable property damage greater than $100,000, actual or constructive loss of 

certain vessels, discharge of oil of 10,000 gallons or more; or a discharge of a reportable quantity of a hazardous substance.

Results: 764 612 605 522 488 TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: This measure reports the three-year average of serious marine incidents (SMIs) reported to the U.S. Coast Guard. An SMI includes 

death or injury requiring professional treatment beyond first aid, reportable property damage greater than $200,000, actual or 

constructive loss of certain vessels, discharge of oil of 10,000 gallons or more, or a discharge of a reportable quantity of a hazardous 

substance. USCG has seen a steady decline in the average SMI count over the last three years. These data are subject to change 

(typically increase) as data entry lag corrects.

Management Measures

Measure Name: Annual Maritime Transportation Security Act Facility compliance rate with Transportation Worker Identification Credential regulations

Strategic Alignment: 2.2: Expedite Lawful Trade and Travel

Description: This measure reports the percent of Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA) regulated facilities that are found to be in 

compliance with the Transportation Worker Identification Card (TWIC) regulations during USCG inspections. The Security and 

Accountability for Every (SAFE) Port Act of 2006 requires the Coast Guard to conduct at least two MTSA security inspections on 

regulated facilities each year; one announced and one unannounced. USCG Inspectors randomly sample different areas of a facility 

(admin staff, security staff, dock workers, etc.) to check for TWIC compliance by ensuring workers have a valid and current TWIC card. 

Some infractions can be corrected on the spot, e.g., a trucker forgot his TWIC in his truck cab. Depending on the number and severity of 

TWIC infractions, the inspector/Capt of the Port may find the facility not in compliance. Statistical guidelines have been developed 

based on the size of the facility to aid inspectors, and to ensure random sampling.

as reports from the news media that states have not confirmed. As news media reports are reconciled with U.S. Coast Guard data, and 

as additional state reports are submitted, the Boating Safety Division expects the results to increase for FY 2023.

Maritime Response: The Maritime Response program mitigates the consequences of marine casualties and disastrous events. The U.S. Coast Guard preparedness 

efforts ensure incident response and recovery resources are fully ready and capable to minimize impact of disasters to people, the environment, and the economy. 

The following statutory missions contribute to the U.S. Coast Guard’s Maritime Response program: Search and Rescue and Marine Environmental Protection.

Strategic Measures

Measure Name: Percent of people in imminent danger saved in the maritime environment

Strategic Alignment: 5.2: Strengthen National Resilience

Description: This measure gauges the lives saved by the U.S. Coast Guard on the oceans and other waterways expressed as a percentage of all people 

in imminent danger at the time the Service received notification. The measure excludes persons lost prior to notification and single 

incidents with 11 or more people.

Results: 78.0% 86.5% 81.7% 83.3% 88.5% TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: 
U.S. Coast Guard Strategic Context

USCG - 9

This is a measure of the percent of people who were in imminent danger on the oceans and other waterways whose lives were saved by 

the U.S. Coast Guard. End of Year Performance is above target and above the cumulative five year average for this measure (87.51

percent). Per the USCG Search and Rescue (SAR) Addendum, this performance measure excludes cases involving greater than 10 lives 

at risk. In FY 2023, there were 14,879 SAR cases with ten or fewer lives at risk resulting in 4,203 lives saved out of 4,749 total lives at 

risk. 

Management Measures

Measure Name: Percent of time rescue assets are on-scene within 2 hours

Strategic Alignment: 5.1: Coordinate Federal Response to Incidents

Description: Time on scene is calculated from the earliest time a Search and Rescue Unit (SRU) is requested to proceed until the earliest time of 

arrival on scene of an SRU. This includes readiness time, the 30 minutes of preparation time, that provides for underway preps (i.e.,

engine warm-ups, underway checklist, risk management evaluation, and mission planning) and the transit time, the 90 minutes from 

underway to on scene based on moderate environmental conditions which allow for operation of the SRUs at their top cruise speeds. To 

calculate the response times used in the measure, the Coast Guard uses the following equation: Time On Scene = First Sortie On Scene 

Time minus First Resource Requested Time. The Coast Guard established the 2-hour On Scene Standard in the 1970s and conducted a 

full review of the standard in 1992. The standard is based on survival expectations in the average weighted water temperatures. The 

weighting factors into the varying number of incidents occurring regionally.

 Fiscal Year: FY 2019 FY 2020 FY 2021 FY 2022 FY 2023 FY 2024 FY 2025

Targets: 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0% 100.0%

Results: 94.0% 93.8% 94.5% 94.6% 92.2% TBD TBD

Explanation of Result: There were 8,725 SAR cases with valid data for this measure. Of those, 8,044 had a response time of less than 2 hours. Of the 681 that 

had a response time in excess of 2 hours, 337 were noted as not delayed, meaning that the distance of the distressed party from USCG 

assets made a 2-hour arrival impossible or the delay was intentional (e.g., Maritime Salvage & Assistance Policy required that Coast 

Guard waited for a third party).

Corrective Action: The Coast Guard's performance benchmark is to arrive on-scene within two hours of notification 100 percent of the time. However, 

there are many cases where a 2-hour response time is impossible, or a delay is directed due to waiting for a third party or gathering 

more information. The FY 2023 year-end result of 92.2 percent is slightly below the 5-year average (92.9 percent). The Coast Guard 

continues to explore ways technology can provide the exact nature and location of a distress case to reduce preparation time in areas 

where distance necessitates longer transit times. 

Maritime Security Operations: The Maritime Security Operations program encompasses activities to detect, deter, prevent, disrupt, and recover from terrorist 

attacks and other criminal acts in the maritime domain. It includes the execution of antiterrorism, response, and select recovery operations. This program conducts 

the operational element of the U.S. Coast Guard’s Ports, Waterways, and Coastal Security mission and complements the other two elements: the establishment and 

oversight of maritime security regimes, and maritime domain awareness.

Description: This measure gauges the percent of all planned Maritime Security and Response Operations (MSRO) contained in the 37 Captain of the 

Port (COTP) zone Port Tactical Activity Plans were executed by U.S. Coast Guard and Federal, state, and local partners. Quarterly, 

COTPs use Risk-Based Maritime Security and Response Operations (RBMSRO) calculations of assessed vulnerabilities, historical 

maritime activity, and asset availability to produce Tactical Activity Plans to specify the types of operations that will optimize risk

reduction to ports by terrorism and other criminal acts in the maritime domain. Operations include conducting vessel security boardings, 

providing vessel escorts, enforcing fixed security zones, and conducting surface and land patrols around ports based on available hours 

and assets.

The Operations and Support (O&S) appropriation funds the Coast Guard’s roles and responsibilities as the principal Federal agency in the maritime 

domain providing for the safety, security, and stewardship of U.S. resources for the Nation. 

The O&S appropriation funds the annualization of prior-year funding, economic adjustments, and operating and maintenance funding for new and 

existing Coast Guard Programs, Projects, and Activities (PPAs). The O&S budget directly funds all 11 statutory Coast Guard missions and other 

Service activities in support of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and National priorities. Of the funding, $24.5M is derived from the Oil 

Spill Liability Trust Fund as authorized by the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (33 USC §§ 2701-2761). 

The O&S budget includes increases for the annualization of Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 initiatives, the 2024 military pay increase of 5.2 percent, and the 

2024 civilian pay increase of 5.2 percent; the 2025 military pay increase of 4.5 percent; the 2025 civilian pay increase 2.0 percent; military and 

civilian personnel allowances and benefits; operational adjustments; the operation, maintenance, and crewing of systems, vessels, aircraft, and shore 

facilities delivered via the Coast Guard’s acquisition programs (e.g., Shore Facilities, Fast Response Cutter (FRC), Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC), 

Waterways Commerce Cutter (WCC), and MH-60T Aircraft); and the operation and administration of the Coast Guard Reserve Program, including 

training, equipping, and ensuring the readiness of the Coast Guard Reserve workforce to augment active duty Coast Guard forces during times of 

crisis, domestically or abroad. The O&S budget also provides funding to bolster support for the maritime community and enables the Coast Guard to 

continue to recapitalize legacy assets and revitalize aging shore infrastructure. The budget also includes the termination of one-time costs, 

annualization of prior-year initiative reductions, operational adjustments, and asset decommissionings.

Program Change 1 – Aviation Training and Support: 

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers - - $32,806

Program Change 1 1 $3,330

Description

The FY 2025 Budget supports increased demand for Presidential Security, enhances pilot training, and funds increases in student pilot training asset 

cost. 

Justification

This funding enables the Coast Guard to provide rotary wing air intercept (RWAI) capability for Presidential protection in the National Capital 

Region and during travel, as required by law, without impact to other lifesaving and law enforcement operations. Demand for RWAI coverage has 

increased due to additional U.S. Secret Service requirements. Additionally, the request includes funding for dedicated boats to facilitate regular 

Arctic hoist training required for Coast Guard search and rescue pilots operating in the High Latitudes. This request also funds costs associated with 

the transition training helicopter used at initial flight training and the replacement of the advanced fixed wing pilot training asset, ensuring Coast 

Guard pilots receive requisite training commensurate with the requirements for various proficiency levels. 

Performance

Coast Guard aviation personnel perform highly complex missions to defend and protect the Nation, while saving lives in challenging operational 

circumstances made ever more difficult by a rapidly changing climate. The ever-changing nature of these missions require a robust corps of 

experienced multi-mission pilots who routinely receive sufficient technical training to meet the growing demand signal. This request enables the 

Coast Guard to fulfill Presidential security obligations and funds training asset upgrades and search and rescue training enhancements to improve the 

capabilities of both student and experienced aviators.

Program Change 2 – Body-worn Cameras: 

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers - - - 

Program Change 5 3 $4,212

Description

The FY 2025 Budget supports funding that ensures compliance with E.O. 14074 and DHS Body Worn Camera (BWC) Policy by providing funding 

to establish a Coast Guard BWC program and equipping eligible law enforcement officers (LEO) who interact with the public with body-worn 

cameras. Funding covers BWC hardware for IT support, personnel support, and sustainment costs for 500 cameras. 

Justification

E.O. 14074 and DHS BWC Policy require Federal agencies to, at a minimum, equip their LEOs with BWCs if they conduct patrols, otherwise engage 

with the public in response to emergency calls, or execute pre-planned attempts to serve an arrest warrant or other pre-planned arrests, or search or 

seizure warrants or orders.

Performance

This funding is necessary for compliance with E.O. 14074 and DHS BWC policy. The implementation of a Coast Guard body-worn camera program 

will support the safety and accountability of LEOs and work to build increased public trust for the Department. The FY 2025 Budget supports LEOs 

by improving the ability to engage with the public openly and transparently while meeting the intent of E.O. 14074. 

Program Change 3 – Coast Guard Museum Staffing: 

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers 0 0 $20,000

Program Change 25 6 ($17,951)

Description

The FY 2025 Budget supports staffing necessary to open the National Coast Guard Museum to the public. 
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG – O&S - 20

Justification

Section 316 of Title 14, United States Code authorizes the Coast Guard to establish, operate, maintain, and support the National Coast Guard 

Museum. Located in the Coast Guard City of New London, Connecticut, the National Coast Guard Museum will feature interactive exhibits, 

programs, and Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)-based educational programs and leadership training opportunities to honor the 

heritage of the Coast Guard. The Bulkhead and Fill Phase of construction is now complete, and the Coast Guard Museum will open in late 2025. This 

program change includes a decrease for the $20.0M previously appropriated exhibit and design fabrication funding needed for opening the Coast 

Guard Museum and adds specific funding to staff and operate the museum. 

Performance

Investment in the National Coast Guard Museum is critical to ensuring it is ready to open and fulfill its mission of honoring the Service’s past, 

present, and future. The Coast Guard is the only branch of the U.S. Armed Forces without a National Museum. Once open, the National Coast Guard 

Museum will be a valuable recruiting tool by expanding brand awareness of the Service and sharing Coast Guard history with the public. 

Program Change 4 – Commercial Icebreaker Follow-On

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers - - - 

Program Change 168 168 $36,908

Description

The FY 2025 Budget funds the crew of a commercially available domestic polar icebreaker, as well as shore-side personnel to develop operational, 

maintenance, and logistics doctrine, create qualification standards, and transition the pre-commissioning detachment into an operational crew. Also 

included are the initial personnel to staff the shore-side maintenance team to conduct vessel and electronics systems maintenance. 

Justification

The Arctic is becoming more accessible due to climate change, and strategic competition is driving more actors to look to the Arctic for economic 

and geo-political advantages. Changes in the operational environment due to receding ice and increased human activity have created additional 

demands for Coast Guard resources in the high latitudes. An increase in commercial and nation-state exploration for natural resources and the 

expansion of sea routes for maritime commerce have driven the desire for Arctic and non-Arctic nations to grow their capacity in the region. The 

purchase and modification of a commercially available domestic polar icebreaker represents an effective strategy to increase near-term presence in 

the Arctic until the Polar Security Cutter (PSC) fleet is operational and add regional capacity in the long-term. This request begins funding crew, 

operation and maintenance, and shore-side maintenance personnel for a newly procured, commercially available polar icebreaker. 
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG – O&S - 21

Performance

The Coast Guard is actively pursuing recapitalization of its heavy polar icebreaker fleet. The new fleet of PSCs represents the Nation’s long-term 

solution for increased Arctic presence and will enable year-round U.S. access to the polar regions. The acquisition of a commercially available 

domestic polar icebreaker, once modified, will accelerate the Service’s presence and capability in the Arctic. This funding will expand the Nation’s 

polar icebreaker capacity and the Service’s ability to both facilitate access to and perform missions in this critical region. 

Program Change 5 – Contract Reductions: 

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers - - $276,263

Program Change - - ($7,026)

Description

The FY 2025 Budget reduces contract funding. 

Justification

This reduction represents a reduction in assistance and advisory services across the Service. The reduction will be managed through effective contract 

efficiencies created throughout the USCG.

Performance

This reduction specifically reduces contracting capacity for strategic planning and studies, human resource applications, and information technology 

management. The Coast Guard will manage contract efficiencies in the year of execution to ensure the lowest level of impact to operations. 

Program Change 6 – Countering Sexual Misconduct in the Maritime Industry: 

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers 6 6 $1,852

Program Change 15 9 $1,780

Description

The FY 2025 Budget supports funding for investigation and legal professionals at the Coast Guard’s Suspension and Revocation National Center of 

Expertise (S&R NCOE) and Coast Guard Investigative Service (CGIS) personnel to provide around-the-clock available experts to respond to reports 

of sexual misconduct from the maritime community. 
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG – O&S - 22

Justification

Sexual misconduct persists as a significant problem affecting every segment of our society, including the maritime industry. Mariners witnessing or 

becoming victims of sexual misconduct undermines morale, compromises vessel safety, drives competent maritime professionals out of the industry, 

and weakens the Marine Transportation System (MTS). The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 2023 bolstered the Coast Guard’s 

authority to respond to and handle allegations of sexual misconduct in the maritime industry. The S&R NCOE is responsible for performing 

suspension and revocation functions against merchant mariner credentials. NCOE investigating officers and attorneys are experts in this field and 

handle the presentation of the most serious S&R cases before administrative law judges — a growing number of cases requires an increase in the 

number of experts employed at the NCOE. CGIS investigates alleged criminal activity where the Coast Guard has an interest, including allegations of 

sexual misconduct within the U.S. merchant fleet. This request doubles the capacity of the S&R NCOE, enabling swifter adjudication of suspension 

and revocation activities by dedicated experts, and provides devoted CGIS professionals to support victims through comprehensive and consistent 

investigations. 

Performance

The FY 2025 Budget provides necessary personnel to improve the Coast Guard’s ability to combat sexual misconduct, and behaviors that enable it, in 

the maritime community and safeguard the MTS. Ensuring that mariners trust the Coast Guard’s promise to fully investigate any report of maritime 

sexual misconduct requires sufficient personnel to respond to and investigate increased reports and to adjudicate serious claims against mariners’ 

licenses. 

Program Change 7 – Decommission HC-130Hs: 

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers 130 130 $24,027

Program Change (130) (130) ($24,027)

Description

The FY 2025 Budget decommissions four HC-130H aircraft located in Clearwater, Florida, and the final HC-130H held in depot maintenance at 

Aviation Logistics Center Elizabeth City, North Carolina.

Justification

The HC-130H is beyond its designed service life and is increasingly costly to operate and maintain. These decommissionings are necessary for the 

Coast Guard to continue the transition to the new, more capable HC-130J Long Range Surveillance Aircraft, as well as the HC-27J aircraft. These are 

the final five HC-130H aircraft in the Coast Guard’s fleet. 
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG – O&S - 23

Performance

The Coast Guard does not anticipate a decrease in mission performance from these decommissionings, as the savings will be reinvested to support 

operations and maintenance of new HC-130J aircraft and HC-27J aircraft.

Program Change 8 – Decommission Island Class Patrol Cutters (WPB) - AK: 

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers 55 55 $7,508

Program Change (55) (28) ($2,757)

Description

The FY 2025 Budget decommissions three WPBs. These patrol boats are scheduled for decommissioning in FY 2025. 

Justification 

The 110-foot patrol boat fleet is beyond its projected 20-year service life and is increasingly costly to maintain and operate. The decommissioning of three 

WPBs is consistent with the Coast Guard’s patrol boat transition plan. Following these decommissionings, there will be no 110-foot patrol boats remaining 

in the fleet. 

Performance 

The Coast Guard does not anticipant any adverse impact on mission performance or degradation of Coast Guard capabilities from the reduction. The three 

WPBs being decommissioned will be replaced by more capable Fast Response Cutters (FRCs). 

Program Change 9 – Decommission Island Class Patrol Boats (WPB) - OR, WA:

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers 36 36 $5,112

Program Change (36) (36) ($5,112)

Description

The FY 2025 Budget decommissions two 110-foot Island Class patrol boats (WPBs). 

Justification

The 110-foot patrol boat fleet is beyond its projected 20-year service life and is increasingly costly to maintain and operate. The decommissioning of 

two WPBs is consistent with the Coast Guard’s patrol boat transition plan. 
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG – O&S - 24

Performance

The Coast Guard does not anticipant any adverse impact on mission performance or degradation of Coast Guard capabilities from the reduction. The 

two WPBs being decommissioned will be replaced by more capable Fast Response Cutters (FRCs). 

Program Change 10 – Decommission MH-65 Helicopters - Kodiak: 

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers 77 77 $20,517

Program Change (77) (39) ($9,477)

Description

The FY 2025 Budget decommissions eight MH-65 rotary wing aircraft. These aircraft are scheduled for decommissioning in FY 2025. 

The Coast Guard’s MH-65 aircraft are beyond their designed service lives and are increasingly costly to maintain and operate. The Coast Guard is the 

world’s largest operator of this airframe, which is no longer in production. Reducing the size of the Coast Guard’s MH-65 fleet eases supply chain pressure 

and will improve readiness of the Service’s existing MH-65’s during the transition to a MH-60T fleet that will improve capabilities, effectiveness, and 

efficiency across all Coast Guard rotary wing aircraft missions. 

Performance 

The Coast Guard does not anticipate any adverse impact on mission performance or degradation of Coast Guard capabilities from this decommissioning. 

MH-65 aircraft are being replaced by MH-60T aircraft, which are supported by a robust domestic supply chain. 

Program Change 11 – Decommission MH-65 Helicopters – New Orleans:

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers 97 97 $19,877

Program Change (97) (97) ($19,877)

Description

The FY 2025 Budget decommissions six MH-65 rotary wing aircraft.
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG – O&S - 25

Justification

The Coast Guard’s MH-65 aircraft are beyond their designed service lives and are increasingly costly to maintain and operate. The Coast Guard is the 

world’s largest operator of this airframe, which is no longer in production. Reducing the size of the Coast Guard’s largest aircraft fleet eases supply 

chain pressure and will improve readiness of the Service’s existing MH-65s during the transition to a single MH-60T fleet that improves capabilities, 

effectiveness, and efficiency across all Coast Guard rotary wing aircraft missions. 

Performance

The Coast Guard does not anticipate any adverse impact on mission performance or degradation of Coast Guard capabilities from this

Also supports the C5I enhancement costs necessary to install the mission area specific equipment and enhanced communications on three Fast 

Response Cutters in the Indo-Pacific. 

• Maritime Governance: Funds a Coast Guard Marine Transportation System (MTS) Assessment Team, based in the Indo-Pacific, which will 

drive economic prosperity in the region by performing vital Ports and Waterways Safety Assessments, Port Access Route Studies, and 

Waterways Analysis and Management System (WAMS) studies. Aging MTS infrastructure, congested ports, frequent typhoons, and the 

accelerated pace of innovation threaten the uninterrupted flow of maritime commerce and present challenges for the Nation’s Indo-Pacific 

partners. These complexities require advisory and technical services to facilitate lawful trade and travel on the waterways.
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG – O&S - 32

• Meaningful Engagement: Funds a Maritime Engagement Team that will provide Indo-Pacific countries with agency-specific Law 

Enforcement and Emergency Management training on policy, procedure, and tactics to bolster their capabilities, similar to the Maritime 

Engagement Team model currently used in Patrol Forces Southwest Asia. This team will conduct frequent and repeated exercises, invaluable 

for improving regional Law Enforcement and Emergency Management capabilities. Additionally, this funding increases regional Coast Guard 

Maritime Advisors, Liaison Officers, Attachés, Legal Support, and other foreign engagement positions throughout the Indo-Pacific. The FY 

2025 Budget also includes funding to increase Coast Guard international affairs and planning capacity, expertise, and foreign policy 

advisement, which supports this increased regional engagement.

The investments included in the FY 2025 Budget will begin to transform the Coast Guard from an organization which currently provides episodic 

presence, in the Indo-Pacific, to be more persistent and visible, strengthening coordination with partner nations and bolstering regional security.

Performance

The Coast Guard is uniquely positioned to further the Indo-Pacific Strategy of the United States through expanded presence, training, and 

engagement. Through foreign partner interactions and work with regional organizations, the Coast Guard is a relevant, non-escalatory resource which 

strengthens maritime governance, the rule of law, and democratic institutions. The Coast Guard has long undertaken presence, training, and advisory 

missions in this vital region. Increasing the Service’s current Indo-Pacific force structure will allow the Coast Guard to keep pace with mounting 

demands from partners to secure their waters from coercive behavior.

Justification

The Coast Guard’s Juniper Class Seagoing Buoy Tender (WLB) began an extended, sequenced maintenance period in FY 2015 and will conclude in 

FY 2024. During the maintenance period, the Coast Guard temporarily disestablished a single WLB crew as a cutter was always in dry dock and 

crews swapped cutters as they entered and departed maintenance periods. These personnel will be needed to fully crew the WLB fleet. 

Performance

The Coast Guard requires the full complement of the WLB fleet to maintain the Nation’s ATON system. Mariners rely on these aids to safely 

navigate complex U.S. waterways, which promotes the safe and efficient flow of commerce throughout the MTS. Without this funding, the Coast 

Guard would be unable to provide a crew for one WLB leaving it unmanned and, thus, non-operational.

($ in thousands) Pos FTE Amount

Base: Current Services & Transfers 92 92 $85,136

Program Change 67 67 $20,2474

Description 

The FY 2025 Budget enhances retention and support of the workforce through critical benefits and access to support resources. 

Justification

The Coast Guard’s most valuable resource is its people, and the Service must provide exceptional support to remain an employer of choice. This 

request provides resources to bolster anti-harassment and integrated primary prevention efforts aimed at eliminating harassing and harmful behaviors 

and establishes a victim-centric program office solely focused on improving victim care across the Service. Further, this request provides funding and 

personnel to fulfill the changes to military justice procedures and staffing prescribed by the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for FY 

2022 and FY 2023, increases chaplain support services, and enhances mental health support at the Coast Guard Academy. 

Performance

The Coast Guard’s missions, and support for those missions, drive human capital requirements. The Coast Guard’s ability to fill and overcome 

current vacancies is dependent on the ability to retain and support personnel to ensure workforce readiness and increase mission effectiveness. The 

workforce’s needs are changing, and the Service must adapt policies and support programs to ensure our personnel are ready to meet new mission 

demands and military justice requirements prescribed by the NDAAs for FY 2022 and FY 2023.

Description

The FY 2025 Budget enhances recruiting capabilities and modernizes academic governance within the Coast Guard. 
U.S. Coast Guard Operations and Support

USCG – O&S - 43

Justification

This initiative expands the Coast Guard’s recruiting program to meet accession needs driven by workforce growth and nationwide military recruiting 

shortages. Additional recruiting personnel and offices will improve recruiter-to-recruit ratios and expand the Service’s recruiting footprint with new 

locations to increase the throughput of qualified members at accession points and provide closer alignment with the DoD recruiting footprint. This 

request also supports the Coast Guard Academy’s ongoing efforts to modernize its delivery of academic curriculum to better reflect standards in 

higher education, increase oversight and accountability, and develop closer connections between field operations and classroom learning. 

Performance

The Coast Guard is experiencing a workforce shortfall and has missed its recruiting targets for the past four fiscal years. The Coast Guard’s ability to 

fill and overcome current vacancies is dependent on the ability to recruit personnel to ensure workforce readiness and increase mission effectiveness. 

Furthermore, academic modernization better aligns the Coast Guard Academy with other institutions of higher learning to ensure the Academy 

remains best suited to attract top talent.

The personnel reductions in paygrades E-3 through E-5 represent, in part, the reductions associated with the projected military pay surplus, described in Program Change 28 – Funded Vacancies. These FTP are not aligned with specific 

billets and do not represent a permanent change in operational posture, but rather are reflective of the Coast Guard’s current recruiting challenges and the associated vacancies. The Service expects to fill these positions as recruiting and 

retention improve. The personnel reductions associated with Program Change 28 includes: E-5: 220; E-4: 230; E-3: 376. Total: 826 FTP.

PPA Description

The Military Personnel program funds expenses related to Military Pay and Military Personnel Support. This PPA includes the compensation, 

benefits, and allowances of active duty and reserve military personnel who enable, execute, and support the Coast Guard’s missions as well as those 

programs, initiatives, and civilian personnel that support and sustain military personnel readiness. 

The Coast Guard was founded as a military, multi-mission, maritime service. Through recruitment, education, training, and retention of talented 

military members and civilian personnel, the Service remains agile, adaptable, and ready to serve the Nation’s maritime interests across a range of 

dynamic operational environments. As members of one of the Nation’s six Armed Forces and the only military service within DHS, Coast Guard 

personnel conduct missions that protect the public and U.S. interests in the Nation’s inland waters, ports, waterways, coastal regions, territorial seas, 

and on the high seas.

Explanation of Pay Cost Drivers 

Military Pay: Military Pay includes salary, benefits, and housing allowances for military personnel. The FTE includes the annualization of FY 2023 

initiatives, and FY 2024 initiatives and FY 2025 initiatives, including follow-on requirements for new assets delivered via the Coast Guard’s 

acquisition programs (e.g., FRC, OPC, etc.) and increases in the mission support workforce. The rate increase is primarily the result of the 2024 

military pay raise of 5.2 percent and 2025 military pay raise of 4.5 percent. 

Civilian Personnel: This cost driver funds all salary, benefits, overtime, and other personnel compensation for civilian personnel, supporting the 

personnel readiness of the military workforce, including the Reserve component. The Civilian pay and benefits rate include the annualization of the 

2023 pay raise, the 2024 civilian pay raise of 5.2 percent, the 2025 civilian pay raise of 2.0 percent, and required government contributions to FEGLI, 

FEHB, and TSP.

Military Full-Time Support (FTS) Personnel: This cost driver funds all military salary, benefits, and housing allowances for FTS personnel 

supporting the Reserve component. Increases include the 2024 military pay raise of 5.2 percent, the 2025 military pay raise of 4.5 percent, and the 

increases for military benefits and allowances.

Military Health Care: This funding is derived from actuarial projections of medical costs to support military personnel. This reflects cost changes in 

FY 2025 that affect all FTE. 

Military Personnel Support: Funds the training, operation, and administration of the Coast Guard Reserve Program; recruitment and processing of 

Coast Guard applicants into the officer and enlisted corps; basic and advanced professional training and education programs; and the pay and benefits

stations.

Reserve Readiness Support: This cost driver includes funding for training, travel, and non-pay related costs necessary to sustain a ready and 

capable Reserve force. 

Other Costs: This reflects miscellaneous military support costs, including leased housing and initial uniform clothing allotments for new recruits.

PPA Level II Description 

The Surface, Air, and Shore Operations PPA provides funds to operate and sustain the Coast Guard’s cutter and aviation fleet for employment in 

support of Coast Guard missions. Additionally, this PPA provides funds to operate and sustain the Coast Guard’s shore-based forces that oversee 

operations in the ports, waterways, and coastal regions of the U.S. and its territories. This PPA also supports the maintenance of all shore facilities 

that support operational assets.

The Coast Guard’s maritime patrol forces consist of over 250 cutters homeported across 36 States and U.S. territories and six cutters forward 

deployed to U.S. Central Command, who conduct both prevention and response operations, including working aids to navigation and breaking ice to 

facilitate commerce, protecting natural resources within coastal and offshore areas, and stopping human trafficking and illicit drugs on the high seas. 

The Coast Guard’s cutter fleet is also a critical component of the U.S. National Fleet and provides unique capabilities across the competition 

continuum, from warfighting under DOD combatant commander operational control, to providing the Nation’s only icebreaking capability in the 

Polar Regions. Additionally, this PPA funds engineering, logistics, and maintenance, as well as spare parts, fuel, and other materials that contribute 

directly to mission effectiveness.

This PPA also funds the technical and logistical support for Coast Guard aviation systems and equipment as well as the life-cycle sustainment of the 

Coast Guard’s aviation enterprise, including fixed-wing, rotary, and unmanned aerial systems. The Coast Guard operates over 200 aircraft that are 

dispersed amongst 32 facilities throughout the U.S. to provide aviation support to operations. Additionally, this PPA funds spare parts, fuel, and other 

materials that contribute directly to mission effectiveness.

The PPA also funds the Coast Guard’s shore-based forces, including Sectors, multi-mission Boat Stations, Deployable Specialized Forces, and Area 

and District Offices. The funding supports the maintenance of boats, including service-life replacement and emergent purchases, as well as spare 

parts, fuel, and other consumed materials that contribute directly to mission effectiveness. This PPA supports the maintenance of all shore facilities 

that support operational assets.

Explanation of Non-Pay Cost Driver 

Command, Control, Communications Operations: This cost driver funds depot level maintenance of end user computing devices, software, 

applications, communications equipment, network infrastructure, Maritime Domain Awareness capabilities, and the Coast Guard’s data center 

facilities that house and protect critical IT infrastructure. This cost driver primarily increases due to the technology investments within the FY 2025 

Body Worn Camera and Indo-Pacific program changes and Enterprise IT Follow-On program change.

Cyber and Intelligence Operations: This cost driver includes costs for day-to-day operations of the Coast Guard’s Cyber Forces including energy 

requirements and utility services; unit supplies, materials, and furniture; and personnel equipment and travel expenses. In FY 2025, this increase is 

due to annualization of FY 2023 initiatives and the Enterprise IT, OPC Follow-On, and Software Follow-On, Body-worn Cameras, and Indo-Pacific 

Expansion program changes.

The U.S. Coast Guard’s Procurement, Construction and Improvements (PC&I) appropriation provides for the acquisition, procurement, construction, 

rebuilding, and improvement of vessels, aircraft, shore facilities and military housing, aids to navigation systems and facilities, and command, 

control, communications, computer, cyber, and intelligence (C5I) systems and related equipment. 

Funds appropriated for PC&I are managed by Coast Guard acquisition project managers who oversee these projects and apply best practices, in 

accordance with the Coast Guard’s Major Systems Acquisition Manual (MSAM), applicable Department of Homeland Security (DHS) management 

directives, and DHS’s Financial Management Policy Manual, to optimize the return on recapitalization investments. Through processes documented 

in the MSAM, acquisition managers follow a continuum of activities ranging from pre-acquisition concept development to deployment and 

sustainment. Activities and documentation produced throughout the acquisition lifecycle inform budget decisions and budget-related project 

activities.

The FY 2025 Budget includes $1.56B for the following Programs, Projects, and Activities (PPAs) within the PC&I appropriation: 

Vessels: This PPA continues the modernization of the Coast Guard surface fleet through the acquisition of Offshore Patrol Cutters (OPCs) and 

Waterways Commerce Cutters (WCCs); provides for the service life extension of existing legacy cutters; and procures boats to support cutter and 

shore operations.

PPA Level I Description

The Vessels PPA provides funding to recapitalize and make capital improvements to Coast Guard cutters and boats. With many of the Coast Guard’s 

surface assets operating beyond their designed service life, recapitalization and sustainment projects are critical to ensuring continued mission 

effectiveness and readiness of the fleet. The FY 2025 Budget funds construction of the seventh Offshore Patrol Cutter; funds construction of three 

articles of the Waterways Commerce Cutter; and continues the National Security Cutter, Fast Response Cutter, Boats, and sustainment programs on 

schedule. The Coast Guard fleet of cutters and boats supported by this PPA collectively perform all 11 statutory Coast Guard missions in the 

offshore, coastal, polar, and inland operational areas. 

The Coast Guard’s future fleet is replacing the aging Medium Endurance Cutters, Island Class Patrol Boats, Inland River and Construction Tenders, 

and legacy Heavy Polar Icebreakers. These modern assets will provide improved endurance, speed, seakeeping, surveillance, icebreaking capabilities, 

and persistent presence in the offshore area of responsibility.

47-Foot MLB SLEP - - Procurement Non-IT No $36,000 $36,000 $36,000

Investment Description

The In-Service Vessel Sustainment (ISVS) investment supports SLEP efforts on the 47-foot MLBs, to extend the service life of 107 boats in the 

Coast Guard’s fleet of 117 MLBs by 20 years. 

Justification

FY 2025 funding supports program management activities and production efforts for the 47-foot MLB SLEP. The fleet of 47-foot MLBs, constructed 

from 1997 to 2003 and designed for a 25-year service life (2022-2028), have several critical systems becoming obsolete and difficult to support. 

Engineering evaluations identified the propulsion system (engines, reduction gears, and the integrated control system) and a variety of missionspecific equipment as requiring recapitalization. Repairs and updates to these systems and components will prevent loss of operational readiness, 

stabilize maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the MLBs by an estimated 20 years (2042 - 2048).

Vessels - PPA In-Service Vessel Sustainment

USCG – PC&I - 20 

Justification

The FY 2025 Budget includes funding to support program management activities and production efforts on the 270-foot Medium Endurance Cutter 

SLEP, CGC Healy SLEP, 175-foot Coastal Buoy Tender MMA, and 418-foot National Security Cutter MMA.

MMAs ensure in-service vessels continue to meet their designed service life through the recapitalization of hull, mechanical, electrical (HM&E) and 

electronic systems that have been identified as the highest contributors to maintenance costs and operational availability degradation. SLEPs increase 

in-service vessel service life without significantly modifying capabilities. FY 2025 funding will support the following projects: 

• 270-foot Medium Endurance Cutters (WMECs): This class began entering service in 1983, was designed to meet a 30-year service life and 

underwent a Mission Effectiveness Project to address operational readiness degradation. WMEC SLEP includes electrical system upgrades, 

remanufactured main diesel engines, structural renewal for stern tube and piping, and installation of a new gun weapon system supplied by the 

U.S. Navy. The SLEP is planned for six WMEC hulls following the completion of two prototypes. 

• CGC Healy: This cutter, commissioned in 1999, is the Nation’s only Medium Polar Icebreaker and serves as a platform for missions primarily in 

the Arctic region, including search and rescue, ship escort, environmental protection, enforcement of laws and treaties, and Arctic research. Funds 

will be used to evaluate system suitability for future sustainment projects and upgrades, assessing potential options based on inspections of 

HM&E systems and subsystems. 

• 175-foot Coastal Buoy Tenders (WLMs): This class, commissioned from 1996-2000, supports maintenance of aids to navigation, law 

enforcement, ice operations, search and rescue, and marine environmental protection in areas that are inaccessible by other assets. MMA 

production is scheduled to begin in FY 2025 with machinery control system updates and the replacement of obsolete, unsupportable, and 

maintenance-intensive equipment, including the main buoy crane, dynamic positioning system, gyrocompass, and bow thruster. The MMA is 

planned for 14 hulls. 

• 418-foot National Security Cutters (WMSLs): This class commissioned starting in 2008 and is the centerpiece of the Coast Guard’s fleet, 

addressing the Coast Guard’s need for open-ocean patrol cutters capable of executing especially challenging operations, including supporting 

maritime homeland security and defense missions. Funding evaluates system suitability for future MMA sustainment projects and assesses 

options based on inspections of HM&E systems and subsystems. The MMA is planned for 11 hulls. 

FY 2023 Key Milestone Events 

• Completed production work on the twelfth and thirteenth 225-foot WLB MMAs, continued construction on the fourteenth, and began production 

on the fifteenth and sixteenth. 

• Continued detail design engineering and procurement of long lead time materials for 270-foot WMEC SLEP. Completed installation of the 

second prototype. Began production on the first hull.

This investment supports the acquisition of National Security Cutters, including Post Delivery Activities (PDA) necessary to make these cutters ready 

for operations. 

Justification

FY 2025 funding supports PDA for the eleventh NSC, as well as class-wide activities that include Test and Evaluation, program execution and 

support, and program close-out support to ensure an adequate and complete basis of technical and logistical material and information for full 

transition to sustainment. PDA is critical to delivering a fully mission capable asset; examples include outfitting mission specific equipment and 

completing necessary testing and certifications. 

These Legend Class NSCs have replaced the legacy High Endurance Cutters (WHECs) built between 1967 and 1972. Compared to WHECs, the 

NSCs provide increased endurance, intelligence, and maritime domain awareness capability in the offshore environment and better integration with 

Department of Defense operations. The NSC, along with the OPC, will comprise the Coast Guard’s offshore response capability for the next 40 

years, and is an essential element of DHS’s layered security posture. 

NSCs are primarily focused on drug interdiction, fisheries enforcement, and defense readiness. NSCs also perform search and rescue; ports, 

waterways and coastal security; migrant interdiction; and serve as mobile command and control platforms for contingency operations. Completion of 

the NSC program will improve long-term capacity and capability in the execution of long-range and extended Coast Guard missions offshore.

Investment Description

This investment supports the acquisition, development, and management of production, delivery and warranty support for multi-mission cutter and 

shore-based boats, including: shore response boats; cutter boats on NSCs, OPCs, FRCs, PSCs and legacy cutters; and program support for in-service 

boat recapitalization. Current active boat acquisition programs include: Over-The-Horizon (OTH), Long-Range Interceptor (LRI), Cutter Boat-Large 

(CB-L), Motor Life Boat (MLB) SLEP, Maritime Security Response Team (MSRT) boats, and the Special Purpose Craft – Heavy Weather (SPCHWX). The Program Management Office (PMO) and this investment also support early acquisition work for replacement of the Trailerable Aid to 

Navigation Boat (TANB) and the Aids to Navigation Boat – Large (ATON-L) and other emerging boat programs. 

Justification

FY 2025 funding supports multiple boat acquisitions managed by the PMO. This includes development of acquisition documentation, contract 

development, test and evaluation planning and execution, in addition to the purchase of boats. Boat purchases are scheduled to support planned NSC, 

FRC, PSC and OPC deliveries, as well as recapitalization of aging LRIs on the NSCs. Other activity includes deliveries of MSRT boats and program 

development for the SPC-HWX. Other programs supported by the Boat Acquisition PMO include programmatic and technical support for the CB-L 

and MLB SLEP programs in addition to early acquisition activity for the Aids to Navigation Boat – Large (ATON-L) replacement program. 

The OTH is deployed on the NSC, FRC, legacy polar icebreakers and WMECs and will be the cutter boat for the OPC and PSC. The OTH is a 

single-engine, open-cabin boat that operates beyond sight of the parent cutter (over-the-horizon) to pursue and interdict targets of interest, deploy 

boarding parties, and perform search and rescue operations. 

The LRI is deployed on the NSC. The LRI is a dual-engine enclosed-cabin boat that operates beyond sight of the parent cutter (over-the-horizon) 

with enhanced crew protection/comfort, greater storage capacity for longer duration missions, and increased capability for passenger and cargo 

transport. 

The ATON-L is a recapitalization effort for similar class vessels designed to construct and maintain Aids to Navigation from shore side facilities.

The SPC-HWX is a recapitalization effort to replace the capabilities of the 52-foot Motor Lifeboats. These boats will be designed to operate in heavy 

surf conditions while possessing extended range and additional towing capacity above the capabilities of the 47-foot Motor Lifeboat.

Procurement/Acquisition Programs

Investment Description

This investment supports the acquisition of a commercially available polar icebreaker, including modifications and integrated logistics support 

required to reach initial operational capability (IOC) for Coast Guard operations. This vessel will provide a platform capable of projecting U.S. 

sovereignty and influence while conducting Coast Guard statutory missions in the high latitudes. 

Justification

If appropriated in FY 2024, prior year funding supports the purchase of a commercially available polar icebreaker, as well as funding for outfitting 

materials, spares, system stock, supply support, and other improvements necessary to make the vessel compliant with Coast Guard safety and security 

requirements. This investment expands the Coast Guard’s polar icebreaker capacity and the Service’s ability to both facilitate access to and perform 

missions in this critical region. 

The Arctic is becoming more accessible due to climate change, and strategic competition is driving more nation-state actors to look to the Arctic for 

economic and geo-political advantages. Changes in the operational environment due to receding ice and increased human activity have created 

additional demands for Coast Guard resources in the high latitudes. An increase in commercial and state-sponsored exploration for natural resources, 

and the expansion of sea routes for maritime commerce, have increased the desire for Arctic and non-Arctic nations to grow their capacity in the 

region. The purchase and modification of a commercially available domestic polar icebreaker represents an effective interim strategy to increase 

near-term presence in the Arctic until the Polar Security Cutter (PSC) fleet is operational and to add regional capacity in the long-term.

FY 2023 Key Milestone Events

• Began pre-acquisition activities.

• Scoped vessel modification and logistics requirements for Coast Guard use. 

• Developed detailed cost estimate.

 

FY 2024 Planned Key Milestone Events

Procurement/Acquisition Programs

Investment Description

This investment supports the acquisition of a heavy domestic icebreaker (Great Lakes Icebreaker) to supplement the capability currently provided by 

CGC Mackinaw as part of an integrated system of assets and capabilities that perform domestic icebreaking.

Justification

If appropriated in FY 2024, prior year funding supports the purchase of LLTM for a Great Lakes Icebreaker, as well as funding for programmatic 

support necessary to progress the acquisition. This investment expands the Coast Guard’s domestic icebreaker capacity and the Service’s ability to 

both facilitate access to and perform missions in this critical region. 

Executive Order 7521 of December 21, 1936, establishes the Coast Guard’s role in domestic icebreaking, which facilitates safe navigation in icecovered waterways, provides exigent flood relief, and supports the movement of commerce on the Great Lakes, which totals more than 90 million 

tons of cargo annually. Coast Guard icebreakers, among other key Coast Guard operational assets, are integral to the Marine Transportation System 

and have an important role facilitating the movement of commerce by maintaining open shipping lanes during the winter months. The shipping 

industry, as well as regional and national economies, depend on the Coast Guard to promote safe navigation and prevent accidents.

N024_000006386 - Waterways Commerce Cutter Level 1 Non-IT Yes $77,000 $77,000 $135,000

Investment Description

The Waterways Commerce Cutter (WCC) program will recapitalize the capabilities provided by the current fleet of inland tenders and barges 

commissioned between 1944 and 1991. The current fleet is comprised of 75-foot, 100-foot, and 160-foot Inland Construction Tenders; 65-foot and 

100-foot Inland Buoy Tenders; and 65-foot and 75-foot River Buoy Tenders that collectively average over 57 years in age. 

Justification

FY 2025 funding will support program management office, production, and production-related activities to recapitalize this vital capability.

The platforms that serve the Nation’s inland waterways and western rivers provide vital services to the Marine Transportation System and have an 

important role in the movement of commerce by maintaining structures, beacons, and buoys in the First, Fifth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth, Thirteenth, 

and Seventeenth Coast Guard Districts. The commerce moved through U.S. waterways, including the 12,000 miles of inland waterways and western 

rivers, has a $5.4T economic impact on the Nation annually. The Aids to Navigation maintained by these assets ensure mariners and the shipping 

industry can safely navigate these waters and prevent accidents that could have significant environmental and/or economic impacts. 

In addition to age concerns and the associated equipment obsolescence issues, the legacy fleet presents other sustainment challenges, including 

hazardous materials stemming from the use of asbestos and lead paint during construction of these assets. Outdated technology and vessel designs 

have also led to crew safety concerns, maintenance cost increases, and non-compliance with environmental regulations. Finally, legacy vessel 

configuration does not allow the assignment of mixed gender crews in accordance with the Coast Guard’s workforce goals. 

FY 2023 Key Milestone Events 

• Awarded detail design and production contract for River Buoy Tender (WLR) and Inland Construction Tender (WLIC). 

• Continued development of the Government-led design for the Inland Buoy Tender.

Investment Description

This investment supports a multi-year SLEP for CGC Polar Star in order to maintain operations until the delivery of the PSC fleet. 

Justification

No funding is requested in the FY 2025 Budget. FY 2023 was the last year of funding request for CGC Polar Star SLEP. Funding from previous 

years supports program management activities, engineering and system prototypes, materials purchases, and production work to complete a SLEP on 

CGC Polar Star, the Coast Guard’s only operational heavy polar icebreaker. The Coast Guard’s two heavy polar icebreakers are over 40 years old 

and are well past their designed service life. The second vessel (CGC Polar Sea) is in an inactive status serving to provide specialty parts to help 

sustain CGC Polar Star. To ensure CGC Polar Star can continue to meet and support national interests in the Polar Regions and provide assured 

surface presence in those ice-impacted waters, the Coast Guard needs to maintain CGC Polar Star’s ability to perform these missions while 

recapitalizing the heavy polar icebreaking fleet. Accordingly, this SLEP is intended to extend CGC Polar Star’s service life so that it remains 

operational until the delivery of the PSC fleet.

FY 2023 Key Milestone Events 

• Continued detail design engineering. 

• Continued procurement activities for long lead time materials.

• Completed phase three of production.

Aircraft Non-Major Non-IT No $4,500 $4,500 $9,000

Investment Description

This investment primarily funds multi-year engineering survey and design work in direct support of emerging cutter, boat, and aircraft acquisitions 

and Service Life Extension Projects (SLEP). Preliminary survey and design work is essential to properly plan and scope acquisitions and sustainment 

availabilities, such as Major Maintenance Availabilities (MMA), Mission Effectiveness Projects (MEP), and SLEP. As in-service vessels, boats, and 

aircraft continue to age, this program conducts detailed hull/airframe condition surveys, along with engineering design work useful in identifying and 

planning future projects. 

Justification

FY 2025 funding supports initiatives related to conducting future SLEPS and MMAs on CGC Healy (a 420-foot Medium Icebreaker), the 175-foot 

Coastal Buoy Tenders (WLM), the 418-foot National Security Cutters (WMSL), the HC-144 Ocean Sentry Medium Range Surveillance aircraft, and 

the MH-60T rotary-wing aircraft:

• CGC Healy, commissioned in 1999, serves as a platform for supporting missions primarily in the Arctic region, including search and rescue, ship 

escort, environmental protection, enforcement of laws and treaties, and Arctic research. 

• The 175-foot WLMs, commissioned from 1996-2000, support maintenance of aids to navigation, law enforcement, ice operations, search and 

rescue, and marine environmental protection in areas that are otherwise inaccessible by other assets. 

• The 418-foot WMSLs, commissioned starting in 2008, are the centerpiece of the Coast Guard’s fleet, addressing the Coast Guard’s need for 

open-ocean patrol cutters capable of executing especially challenging operations, including supporting maritime homeland security and defense 

missions.

• The HC-144 fixed-wing aircraft fulfills the Coast Guard’s Medium Range Surveillance aircraft requirement and supports a wide-range of 

missions from search and rescue to oil-spill mapping and enables the service to increase maritime domain awareness. 

• The MH-60T rotary-wing aircraft fulfills the Coast Guard’s Medium Range Recovery aircraft requirement and supports a wide-range of missions 

from search and rescue and disaster recovery to drug interdiction, migrant interdiction, and marine environmental protection. 
Other Acquisition Programs - PPA Survey and Design – Vessels, Boats, and Aircraft

N024_000006394 - Program Oversight and Management Non-Major Non-IT No $20,000 $20,000 $21,500

Investment Description

This investment provides the Coast Guard with the overarching capability to protect the government's interests during acquisitions to ensure 

contractors and suppliers deliver required products and services meeting prescribed terms and conditions. The Coast Guard accomplishes this 

management and oversight through staff located within the Acquisition Directorate, at Program Management Offices, and at other 

contractor/government sites. Personnel working on Acquisition Directorate programs include a mix of military, civilian, and contractors experienced 

in all phases of large, complex acquisition programs. The FY 2025 Budget funds the support and other activities that enable the government to 

provide oversight to the acquisition programs. Contractors, when used, perform specific, well-defined tasks that are not inherently governmental. 

Program Oversight and Management (PO&M) supports performance monitoring of all acquisition contracts across all programs. This is 

accomplished through a variety of tools such as the Earned Value Management System (EVMS), periodic reports to DHS and Congress, and use of 

the Acquisition Performance Management System (APMS) to monitor program and financial performance through the production of reports and 

metrics. EVMS permits the Coast Guard to closely follow cost and schedule performance of the programs, while the reports and data produced by 

APMS allow for periodic internal and external reviews of program cost, schedule, and performance criteria. 

Finally, Program Oversight and Management (PO&M) funding is used to ensure the Coast Guard is responsive to various Congressional, GAO, and 

DHS-IG requests for information. This important function keeps these entities informed as they conduct appropriate oversight of Coast Guard 

Acquisitions and requires sufficient funding to ensure accurate information is provided to these organizations in a timely manner.

Investment Description

This investment supports the Coast Guard’s Enterprise Mission Platform (EMP), delivering operational and mission support capabilities for 

Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, and Intelligence (C5I). 

Justification

Cyber and EMP funding delivers C5I capabilities for enhanced operational success and mission support across the Coast Guard. The following 

projects will be supported with FY 2025 funding: 

• Mobile User Objective System (MUOS): This project continues recapitalization of the 40 existing MILSATCOM Ultra High Frequency (UHF) 

communication capabilities on Coast Guard shore installations with MUOS. Concurrently, an effort is underway to recapitalize the aviation and 

afloat segments of MUOS through the Coast Guard’s Operations and Support (O&S) appropriation. The existing MILSATCOM is designed to 

provide a reliable means of communication in theater, disaster areas, remote latitudes, etc.; permits consistent data exchange for maritime domain 

awareness and DHS law enforcement missions; and meets requirements for Department of Defense interoperability. The current capability is 

beyond end of planned life and is beginning to experience system degradation. In accordance with updated termination guidance, the system will 

be non-functional by 2026 and will be replaced by MUOS. Any assets that do not have MUOS will lose this capability entirely. 

• Mobility 2.0: This project builds mobile applications and the network infrastructure that supports the ability to operate in a secure mobile 

environment. Efforts focus on infrastructure, hardware, and software to include development of a foundational platform that provides the ability 

to provide a secure, easy-to-use, and flexible capability to efficiently create mobile applications. Efforts also include changes to legacy 

applications to support and enhance usability of mobile operators to efficiently interact with legacy applications. 

• Next Generation Command and Control (NEXTGEN C2): This project replaces the Coast Guard common operating picture (COP) currently 

provided by the DoD’s Global Command and Control System-Joint (GCCS-J) for both Unclassified and Classified COPs at afloat, aviation, and 

shore units. Efforts focus on the hardware, software, networks, and interface modifications required to develop and deploy an integrated, 

enterprise-wide COP capability in coordination with DoD and interagency partners. The DoD will decommission the legacy COP by FY 2025 
Other Acquisition Programs - PPA Cyber and Enterprise Mission Platform

USCG – PC&I - 95 

and intends to replace the capability with a modernized system. This project will commence efforts to incorporate Vessel Traffic System sensor 

data into the future COP. 

• IT Infrastructure and Application Modernization: This effort will significantly improve existing enterprise applications, or entirely replace 

antiquated applications with new, emerging capabilities, as well as provide for infrastructure improvements to support these modern systems. 

Funding will start to address the Coast Guard’s backlog of obsolete software applications that do not meet current customer requirements or 

cybersecurity standards. Work will target the applications that most greatly impact the Coast Guard’s ability to fulfill its statutory missions, such 

as systems for issuing merchant mariner credentials, case management, and law enforcement operations planning.

Uncrewed Systems $4,131 $4,131 $3,737

R&D Project Description

Uncrewed Systems (UxS) R&D projects evaluate and assess the risks, benefits, and limitations of operating and countering UxS to enhance Coast 

Guard mission effectiveness. 

• Problem: There is a lack of both persistent and on-demand intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities that are critical to 

operational units performing Coast Guard missions. UxS have the potential to provide increased maritime domain awareness, but the Coast Guard 

needs to better understand the risks, benefits, and limitations of operating UxS (air, surface, and subsurface). Additionally, currently available 

UxS can be leveraged to threaten or disrupt governmental, commercial, and recreational activities in the maritime domain.

• Solution: Assess and evaluate uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) and uncrewed maritime (surface/subsurface) systems (UMS) for surveillance, 

detection, classification, and identification missions. Develop and test advanced UAS and UMS in partnership with academia, industry, DoD, and 

other government agencies. Continue investigation of UxS threats to maritime sector/Coast Guard assets and evaluate counter UxS technologies. 

Develop UxS applications beyond traditional surveillance operations. Determine how UxS and autonomous capabilities can best support specific 

missions and how different systems can integrate with each other and existing technology.

• Justification: This project aligns with the 2020 National Academy of Sciences Leveraging Unmanned Systems for Coast Guard Missions Report 

and supports the recently published Coast Guard Unmanned Systems Strategic Plan. UxS consist of dynamic, rapidly evolving technology that 

require continued evaluation and research to effectively employ and counter. Funding will be used to assess the benefits and limitations of 

maritime UxS for Coast Guard mission sets, increasing maritime domain awareness capacity, and developing/evaluating systems to counter illicit 

UAS and UMS. As an example, in July 2023 the Federal Aviation Administration issued the “Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) Technology 

for Coast Guard Uncrewed Aircraft System (UAS) Operations” project, a Certificate of Authorization (COA) to fly BVLOS in the Coast Guard’s 

First District Area of Responsibility (AOR) using a novel acoustic detect and avoid capability. FY 2025 funding will be used to continue 

developing and testing UAS detect and avoid technology to allow BVLOS operations from non-flight deck equipped Coast Guard cutters and 

expanding the COA to other AORs. 
Research and Development Uncrewed Systems

USCG-R&D - 10

• Impact: Improve operational performance, efficiency, and resiliency. 

Type of Research

Applied Research through Technology Demonstration.

Technology Readiness Level

Efforts in this program range from TRL-4 to TRL-7. R&D UxS efforts typically start with a market survey of available commercial off the shelf 

(COTS) and government off the shelf (GOTS) technology that could be adapted for Coast Guard use. Identified technology is first prototyped and 

evaluated in a relevant environment (TRL-6) before being tested in an operational environment (TRL-7).

Transition Plans

Research will provide prototype demonstrations and knowledge products for Coast Guard decision makers, including recommended tactics, 

techniques, and procedures; policy, standards, or regulations; cost or risk avoidance opportunities; and pre-acquisition/future technology transfer 

considerations.

Polar Operations $450 $450 $407

R&D Project Description

Polar Operations R&D projects assess several facets of operations in the Polar Regions including communications, spill response, vessel capability, 

and iceberg detection. 

• Problem: Changing environmental and climate conditions are currently, and will continue, to increase risk and maritime traffic in the Polar 

Regions. The increased maritime activity will require dependable high latitude communication, identifying and communicating navigational 

safety information, utilizing technologies to enhance maritime domain awareness in harsh climates, and the ability to respond to maritime spills in 

ice-covered waters.

• Solution: Research innovative capability solutions for enhanced operations and emergency response and increased U.S. presence in the Polar 

Regions to support Coast Guard and National Arctic strategies. This includes evaluating and testing maritime communication solutions for use in 

the Polar Regions, continuing to develop spill response technologies/concepts for ice environments, and developing reliable navigational safety 

information for use in remote areas. As part of this solution, the Service will continue to partner with academia, industry, DOD, tribal, and 

international partners on cooperative research to evaluate new technologies.

• Justification: As outlined in the 2022 National Strategy for the Arctic Region, the Arctic is home to more than four million people, extensive 

natural resources, and unique ecosystems. Due to changing environmental conditions, the Arctic is undergoing a dramatic transformation that 

could change the way of life in the region, intensify strategic international competition, and drive new economic opportunities. The Coast Guard 

is the Nation’s primary maritime presence in the Polar Regions and constantly works to advance and ensure U.S. interests. However, technology 

used in other regions frequently does not work well in harsh Polar environments due extreme weather, the absence of reliable high latitude 

communications, and lack of infrastructure. This makes both day-to-day and surge operations challenging. Additionally, as the region’s 

waterways become more accessible to mariners, fishing, shipping, tourism, and competitors, the risks from natural and human made disasters are 

increasing. The Nation and the Coast Guard need to be able to effectively operate and respond in the region alongside partners and allies. Funding 

for this project will further objectives by testing and evaluating the effectiveness and capability of technologies specific to Polar Regions 

operations. In 2023, the “High Latitude Underway Connectivity” project successfully tested the SpaceX Starlink system (in partnership with the 
Research and Development Polar Operations

USCG-R&D - 13

Air Force Research Lab (AFRL)) in the vicinity of the North and South Poles on Coast Guard icebreakers. This testing resulted in the decision to 

fully transition the capability to all Coast Guard cutters, replacing the current Fleet Broadband System. FY 2025 funding will be used to continue 

transition activities and to finish research on other emerging competing technologies.

• Impact: Demonstrate U.S. leadership in the Polar Regions by collaboratively enhancing safety and security. 

Type of Research

Applied Research through Technology Demonstration.

Technology Readiness Level

Efforts in this program range from TRL-4 to TRL-7. R&D Polar Operations efforts typically start with a market survey of available commercial off 

the shelf (COTS) and government off the shelf (GOTS) technology that could be adapted for Coast Guard use. Identified technology is first 

prototyped and evaluated in a relevant environment (TRL-6) before being tested in an operational environment (TRL-7).

Transition Plans

Transition Plans will be developed alongside research plans. Research will provide prototype demonstrations and knowledge products for Coast 

Guard, U.S., and partner Nation decision makers, including recommended tactics, techniques, and procedures; prototypes; pre-acquisition/future 

technology transfer considerations; policy, standards, or regulations; and cost and risk avoidance opportunities.

Waterways Management and Environmental Response $500 $500 $453

R&D Project Description

Waterways Management and Environmental Response R&D projects identify and develop tools to enhance waterways management, support the 

Marine Transportation System (MTS), enhance search and rescue capabilities, improve response to environmental hazards, and explore mitigations 

of climate related impacts to operations and personnel. 

• Problem: The Coast Guard is seeking opportunities to address technology challenges and develop/improve operational tools for ensuring a safe, 

secure, and adaptive MTS. This includes the need for: tools and technologies for more effective pollution response, preparedness, and prevention; 

fire protection capabilities relating to shipboard use and transport of lithium-ion batteries and emerging alternative fuel sources; assessment of

new technologies for waterways management (e.g., modernizing outdated aids to navigation and waterway design to meet current and future 

needs); and improved search and rescue modeling, detection, and rescue capabilities. These challenges are all compounded by climate change and 

will require solutions that include climate mitigation and/or adaptation considerations.

• Solution: Develop technical expertise in the areas of pollution prevention, preparedness, and response, including building an understanding of oil 

spills in freshwaters (e.g., the Great Lakes), evaluating the effectiveness of emerging oil spill response and detection technologies, developing and 

testing a calculator that can evaluate and estimate the recovery of oil spills for nearshore and inland waters, and researching hazardous substance 

pollution response technologies. Research and develop methods to address safety and fire hazards associated with lithium-ion battery and 

emerging fuel sources. Continue development and testing of technologies to replace traditional buoys and mooring systems with next generation 

resilient systems. Develop and enhance mass rescue lifesaving appliances. Improve environmental and other data inputs to enhance search and 

rescue modeling accuracy, including better understanding of how offshore wind farms alter surface currents. Improve visibility and detection of 

survivors by identifying optimal colors for life saving equipment. Find sustainable energy solutions to support Coast Guard assets, infrastructure, 

and operational performance. Build out the Coast Guard’s “Sector of the Future” test bed to field prototypes and create a strong path for 

successful transition.
Research and Development Waterways Management and Environmental Response

USCG-R&D - 16

• Justification: The Coast Guard plays a vital role in ensuring the safety and security of the MTS. As such, the Service needs to continually update 

and advance environment and waterways-related technologies to ensure the ability to address the MTS’ challenges, prepare Coast Guard units for 

future operations, and identify climate mitigation and adaptation actions/technologies. Funding for this project will support the evaluation and 

development of technologies to advance MTS safety, security, and commerce. This funding and research directly support numerous U.S. national 

strategies, executive orders, and policies including the new National Strategy for the Marine Transportation System: Cultivating a Resilient and 

Sustainable Blue Economy 2023-2028. For example, in 2023, the “Evaluate Visibility of Colors for CG Approved Lifesaving Equipment in 

Marine Conditions” project began evaluating High Visibility Safety Apparel (HSVA) and lifesaving equipment with the goal of updating an 

outdated 1950s color standard to improve MTS safety. FY 2025 funding will be used to finalize objective metrics for color characteristics of 

Coast Guard lifesaving equipment and to provide research recommendations to update color standards, regulations, and policy.

• Impact: Enhance safety and security on waterways and for waterway users, while also supporting commerce and influencing international safety 

standards.

Operational Performance Improvements and Modeling $1,620 $1,620 $1,465

R&D Project Description

Operational Performance Improvements, Modeling, and Data Analytics R&D projects use modeling, simulation, and analysis to support a wide 

variety of areas across the Coast Guard, including developing modeling and simulation capabilities that can be transitioned to Coast Guard offices to 

provide an enduring, in-house capability to continue the analyses. These studies include traditional operations research in areas such as manpower 

forecasting and optimum fleet mixes, as well as studies supporting the identification of polar survival time requirements, the characterization of 

search and rescue sensor performance and improved search patterns, and the development of maritime domain awareness capabilities. These projects 

frequently employ advanced technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics).

• Problem: The Coast Guard requires analytic studies to forecast personnel requirements and determine resource quantities and where they should 

be located. There are knowledge gaps in areas such as expected survival times in Polar Regions, seasonal iceberg forecasts, and evaluating the 

effectiveness of advanced sensors and processing algorithms to improve search patterns, that require rigorous analytical study to better the Coast 

Guard and global maritime community. 

• Solution: By employing operations research, modeling, simulation, and analysis, studies can be conducted to facilitate data-driven decisions. 

Models and tools developed through these projects can be transitioned to the sponsor to provide a longer-term, organic capability. Artificial 

intelligence and machine learning can be applied in areas such as process automation, video image processing, and Monte-Carlo personnel 

forecasting. These techniques can also be applied to optimize search and rescue patterns and locate resources and assets to minimize response 

times. Real-time analyses of large data sets stored in clouds can detect suspicious patterns in maritime traffic and thereby enhance response times. 

Exploration of quantum computing could lead to better cargo monitoring and cryptography (both attack and defense). Partnerships with other 

government agencies, including DOD, universities, and industry, are critical to coordinating efforts, leveraging existing work, and avoiding 

duplication.
Research and Development Operational Performance Improvements, Modeling and Data Analytics

USCG-R&D - 20

• Justification: Funding for this project will directly support Coast Guard missions and provide critical information for international regulatory, 

safety, inspection, and law enforcement efforts. In 2023, the “Platform Cybersecurity Solutions for CG Cutters” project started to research cyber 

resilient Operational Technology (OT) systems for Coast Guard cutters. Through a partnership with the Naval Sea Systems Command 

(NAVSEA) Cyber Engineering and Digital Transformation Directorate, the Navy’s Situational Awareness Boundary Enforcement and Response 

(SABER) program of record was chosen for evaluation onboard a Coast Guard cutter. The FY 2025 funding will be used to develop researchbased recommendations to transition this capability across all Coast Guard cutter classes. 

• Impact: Enable more data driven acquisition decisions, resource allocation, and personnel planning in an environment of constrained funding.

International maritime polar survival requirements will be based on current conditions. Search and rescue will employ the latest sensor 

technology and machine learning algorithms to improve detection, and search patterns will be optimized to improve the odds of survival and save 

lives.

Space Based Operations $775 $775 $701

R&D Project Description

Space Based Operations R&D projects will develop space-based maritime domain awareness capability, evaluate the benefits of space-based 

technologies for a variety of mission applications, and conduct research to prepare the Coast Guard for the use, acquisition, and/or contracting of 

commercial and governmental space-based technologies to support Coast Guard missions and Homeland Security operations.

• Problem: Coast Guard operations require effective maritime domain awareness to execute missions. This is especially important and challenging 

for search and rescue, law enforcement, dark fleet/dark vessel tracking, ice operations, pollution monitoring, cooperative vessel tracking, and 

remote communications. The Coast Guard lacks the capability to independently investigate emerging space-based technologies that are being 

realized commercially and by other government agencies.

• Solution: Investigating and integrating space-based capabilities such as optical sensors, radar, and GPS into Coast Guard processes and machine 

learning and data analytics applications will help close maritime domain awareness performance gaps. Leveraging existing and emerging spacebased technologies will increase interagency collaboration, expand data sharing opportunities, and reduce costs. Space-based technologies have 

the potential to aid in detection and enforcement of illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing cases, expand communications resilience in 

remote locations, provide tertiary technologies to ensure resilience in denied environments, locate dark vessels involved in smuggling operations 

using light or radio frequency data, and locate distressed vessels, aircraft, or persons faster and with more success. 

• Justification: Funding for this project has the potential to enhance communications and situational awareness systems to advance Coast Guard 

efforts in vital areas, (e.g., the Indo-Pacific and Polar Regions). In 2023, the “Alternate Navigation Positioning Sources” project began research 

on navigation alternatives to the Global Positioning System (GPS). Technologies including electro-optical/infrared celestial navigation, Very 

High Frequency Data Exchange System (VDES) ranging mode, Starshield position triangulation, and various inertial navigation systems are 

currently under examination. FY 2025 funding will be used to demonstrate promising solutions on Coast Guard platforms with the goal of 

providing a tested prototype to support future transition decisions.

The Boat Safety program aims to minimize loss of life, personal injury, property damage, and environmental impact associated with the use of 

recreational boats. The program directly supports the Coast Guard’s Maritime Prevention Program by promoting the safe and enjoyable use of public 

U.S. waterways. 

Boat Safety activities include: overseeing manufacturer compliance with Coast Guard regulations; making grants to states and national non-profit 

boating safety organizations; conducting surveys to measure recreational boating activity; continuing the “Boat Responsibly” national outreach and 

awareness initiative; promulgating safety regulations; and measuring life jacket wear rates, including the effectiveness of voluntary and mandatory 

efforts to increase life jacket usage. 

In its role as the designated National Recreational Boating Safety Program Coordinator, the Coast Guard is charged with managing dedicated user fee 

funding provided from the Sport Fish Restoration and Boating Trust Fund to support the National Recreational Boating Safety Program. Under the 

provisions of the Sportfishing and Recreational Boating Safety Act of 2005 (Subtitle A, Title X, P.L. 109-59), the Coast Guard receives a percentage 

distribution of total trust fund receipts from the preceding fiscal year (i.e., FY 2025 funding will be a percentage of FY 2024 trust fund receipts). The 

funds are available until expended but are limited in purpose and amount in accordance with existing statute.

The Maritime Oil Spill Program operates under the authority of Title I of the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA), as amended, which provides for the 

use of the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund (OSLTF) to pay for Federal response to oil spills and claims for uncompensated removal costs and damages 

resulting from such spills. The Maritime Oil Spill Program directly supports the Coast Guard’s Marine Environment Protection mission and Maritime 

Response Program. 

In section seven of Executive Order 12777, the President delegated management responsibility of the OSLTF to the Secretary of the Department in 

which the Coast Guard is operating. Upon re-delegation by the Secretary, the Commandant of the Coast Guard delegated responsibility to the 

National Pollution Funds Center (NPFC), which oversees the OSLTF. 

The NPFC:

• Provides funding for Federal removal actions in response to discharges and substantial threats of discharge of oil to navigable waters of 

the United States.

• Compensates claimants for OPA removal costs and damages.

• Provides funding to natural resource trustees for Natural Resource Damage Assessments (NRDA). 

• Administers the OSLTF.
