    • Abstract:
      The Eight Coast Guard District has an extremely large AOR

      encompassing 26 States. The District is responsible for 1,200 miles

      of coast line and 10,300 miles of inland waterways. The major

      missions are Law Enforcement, Search and Rescue, and Pollution

      Response. To meet the mission needs in this large AOR, the District has

      numerous cutters and boats. Currently, the District Command

      Center does not maintain an up-to-date surface picture; the ability

      to receive near real-time position reports from all assets would be

      highly beneficial. In addition, the District lacks the ability to

      communicate with all vessels at all times.

      The purpose of this project is to test and evaluate the BOATRACS

      system. This T&E will determine whether the BOATRACS system

      specifically, and satellite data communications system in general,

      can be effectively used to solve the communications problems in

      the Eighth District. Specific evaluation criteria are included in the

      final section. In general, the questions to be answered are does a

      system such as this improve performance, meet requirements not

      currently being met, and/or reduce cost.
