Goal S1:
Save
all mariners in
imminent
danger.
Target:
Save
at least
93%
of all mariners reported in
imminent
danger
as
the
number
of mariners on the water continues to grow.
Analysis
and
Evaluation
The
percentage of lives
saved
has
been
increasing slightly over the past several
years. This is largely
due
to better distress
notification
and
position equipment, along
with better mariner
awareness.
The
1994
data is abnormally high
due
to the inclusion
of migrants
rescued
at sea. This data
was
not included in other years
FY00
Key
Initiatives
Coast
Guard
Auxiliary Support (OE):
Expands
the Auxiliary's ability to assist in
search
and
rescue,
and
safety education activities.
Personnel
Protective
Equipment
(OE):
Improves
the safety of rescue personnel in order to increase their ability to save
mariners in distress.
47-Foot Motor Life Boat
Replacement
(AC&I)
Expands
our capability to
meet
heavy
weather
SAR
demand
in the coastal zone. Coastal
Patrol
Boat
Replacement
(AC&I); Coastal
Patrol Boat Follow-on (OE):
Replaces
the aging 82' patrol boat
and
provides for
increased operation
and
maintenance
costs associated with the higher
number
of
operational hours that
CPBs
will provide over old 82'
patrol
boats. This
ensures
continued effective
SAR
services in the coastal zone.
Deepwater
Capability
Replacement
Analysis (AC&I):
Develops
a
system
of surface, air,
command
and
control,
intelligence
,
and
logistics
systems
to carry out
SAR
in the
remote
and
often
dangerous
deepwater
region.
The
rescue of several vessels
and
an Air National
Guard
helicopter during the
infamous
1991
Storm
of the Century
would
not have
been
possible without
Coast
Guard
deepwater
assets.
National Distress
System
Modernization
(AC&I):
Improves
the ability of mariners in
distress to notify the
Coast
Guard
- a critical factor in saving
more
lives. Current
system
is taxed by a growing boater population.
Improved
Search
and
Rescue
Capability
(RDT&E):
Seeks
to develop
new
search planning tools that help assign the optimal ships
and
aircraft to a mission, improve our ability to predict the location of search objects
affected by current, wind,
and
improve our ability to determine accurate search areas.
