  • 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.
