Abstract
The Integrated Deepwater System's C4ISR (command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, reconnaissance, and surveillance) system is a critical element in the U.S. Coast Guard's efforts to modernize its aging force structure and implement its maritime strategy for homeland security. >> Conceived during the 1990s, the fully implemented Deepwater program will consist of three classes of new cutters and their associated small boats, a new and upgraded fixed-wing manned aircraft fleet, a combination of new and upgraded helicopters, both cutter-based and land-based unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), and highly improved systems for C4ISR and advanced logistics capabilities. Integrated Coast Guard Systems (ICGS, a joint venture between Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman) is Deepwater's partner in industry and systems integrator. >> Deepwater's C4ISR capability improvements will contribute to higher levels of maritime domain awareness (comprehensive information, intelligence, and knowledge of all relevant entities within the U.S. maritime domain, and their respective activities, that could affect U.S. security, safety, economy, or environment). The Integrated Deepwater System (IDS) will play an important role in transforming the Coast Guard to meet the nation's 21st-century maritime-security requirements
