USCGC Smilax (WLIC-315)
The Acquisitions Directorate (CG-9) Website has copies of Presentation graphics used at the Navy League’s Sea-Air-Space Exposition.
They cover six topics:
- Augmented Reality Presentation
- CG Operational Requirements Presentation
- USCG Foreign Military Sales Presentation
- USCG Rescue Swimmer Program Presentation
- USCG Contracting Enterprise Presentation
- Waterways Commerce Cutter Presentation
Foreign military sales presentation indicates 87-foot Coastal Patrol Boats will start being made available in FY23/24. If that is the program of record the replacement/recapitalization program the AoA should have already been done with industry engagement this year.
Good point, I had missed that, but it may be that FRCs will replace some 87 foot WPBs because I have not seen any indication of movement to develop a replacement.
