Objectives

ƒ Define MPA mission demand

ƒ Compare asset capabilities
ƒ Develop asset mixes that meet existing and
emerging mission demand
ƒ Present business cases: Capability/Risk/Cost
ƒ Recommend solution set

USCG Fixed Wing Aircraft Requirements 6 March-03

 Approach

ƒ Point of Departure – 1998 Baseline PFHs

ƒ Add post-1998 demand
ƒ Determine minimum LRS/heavy-lift assets required
ƒ Determine MPA candidate Op Eff equivalencies
ƒ Define solution sets
ƒ Analyze capabilities and risk
ƒ Develop 30 year cost model
ƒ Recommend best business case

USCG Fixed Wing Aircraft Requirements 6 March-03

Assumptions

ƒ HAE-UAVs provide 16,100 annual PFH

ƒ HAE-UAVs do not provide target ID

ƒ VUAVs Do Not Offset FW Requirements

ƒ SAR Readiness maintained

ƒ No degradation of current CG missions

USCG Fixed Wing Aircraft Requirements 6 March-03

 Assumptions (Cont’d)
ƒ 1000 PFH per year
– (Proposed 1200 for CASA is unrealistic)
ƒ Total PFH Required Divided by 1000 = # MPA
– Adjusted by OpEff Equivalency
ƒ FW coverage of Gulf of Mexico Required
– (Proposal = no presence in Corpus; Mobile)
ƒ MDA Surveillance, Detection, Classification also
provided by other means (National Technical Means,
UAVs, etc.)
– LRS used out to 1000nm to ID TOIs
ƒ Organic Heavy Lift required on both coasts to meet
response requirements of NSF/MSSTs (to include boat
xport)

USCG Fixed Wing Aircraft Requirements 6 March-03

Known Fixed Wing Requirements
ƒ 1998 Baseline requirements: 44,400 PFH
– Traditional missions (SAR, LE, Log, Training)
– Air Interdiction
– International Ice Patrol
– SONS/MERO
– Aerial Dispersant Delivery System (ADDS)
– Excludes addt’l unconstrained 36,000 hour MPA shortfall
ƒ New requirements:
– MARSEC I/II/III
– Increased MDA to 1,000 nautical miles
– Heavy lift (NSF, MSST, critical incident response)
– DHS mission growth
– CBR defense and detection

USCG Fixed Wing Aircraft Requirements 6 March-03

Probable and Potential MPA
Requirements

ƒ Probable
– Weaponization
– USN MPA CD patrols (DoD pull out)
– Defensive measures
– Increased Transport (FEMA/OGA)
– FW-to-RW ground refuel
ƒ Potential
– Parachute drops (SEAL team insertion)
– Airborne Early Warning (AEW)
– FW-to-RW air-to-air refueling

USCG Fixed Wing Aircraft Requirements 6 March-03

Capability and Capacity Gaps:
ƒ Extended MDA boundary presence (1,000 NM)
ƒ Decreased DoD CD patrols
ƒ MARSEC I/II/III
ƒ NSF, MSST, OGA heavy lift capability
ƒ Growth margin
– Lift, surge, mission, weapons, and equipment
Requirement = Baseline Demand (44,400 PFH
52 FW assets) + Increased Heavy lift
capability + Forecast New Demand

Recommendations

ƒ Maintain LRS/Heavy lift capabilities

– Extend C-130H life, increase program hrs to 1000
through fully resourced augments
z Organic C-130 PDM

ƒ C-130Js replace HU25s in short term

ƒ Reevaluate MPA choice against DHS mission
demands and other DHS agency assets

USCG Fixed Wing Aircraft Requirements 6 March-03

Recommendations (continued)

ƒ Designate C-130 as National Security Aircraft

(NSA)
ƒ Make C-130J sensor configuration common to
the MPA ORD configuration
ƒ Revaluate solution sets when IDS is re-
baselined
ƒ If CN-235s chosen;
– Use 1000 programmed hrs, not 1200
