The United States Coast Guard has embarked on the most ambitious modernization and recapitalization project in the service's history. The Deepwater Capabilities Replacement Project, which is simply referred to as Deepwater, is unique in that it comprises the acquisition of an entire integrated “System‐of‐Systems”: surface, air, C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, information, surveillance & reconnaissance), and logistics facilities. This “System of Systems” approach will enable the Coast Guard to acquire the optimal mix of fully supportable assets, to effectively and efficiently perform all of its Deepwater missions well into the next century.
