Lockheed Martin Awarded Additional C4ISR Contract to Support the U.S.
Coast Guard
|
| |
Lockheed
Martin received a $69 million contract to support the United States
Coast Guard’s efforts to enforce maritime sovereignty and address
at-sea threats. Through this contract received from Huntington Ingalls
Industries (HII), Lockheed Martin will provide the Command, Control,
Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance
(C4ISR) system for the United States Coast Guard’s seventh National
Security Cutter (NSC), the future USCGC Kimball. |

Lockheed Martin’s C4ISR system offers comprehensive,
real-time situational awareness, commonality and interoperability, which
enables a greater collection and sharing of maritime data. It allows
the crew to see vessels in distress or targets of interest; collaborate
with other Coast Guard air, sea and land assets; and act on the most
current information available.
“The NSC’s C4ISR system is critical to ensuring the USCG
can support the nation’s maritime strategy,” said Joe Buss,
program director of Lockheed Martin’s Coast Guard and Mission
Control Systems. “Our brave men and women of the Coast Guard rely
on the accuracy and timeliness of the data our system provides to achieve
their many missions and maritime operations.”
Lockheed Martin has a rich legacy in supporting the Coast Guard, and
has provided the C4ISR systems to all six of the NSCs. The NSC is the
largest and most technologically advanced multi-mission cutter in the
Coast Guard fleet, with capabilities to support the service's homeland
security, law enforcement, marine safety, environmental protection and
national defense missions.
