HomelandSecurity
CGC HEALY
• Commissioned in 2000
• Funding shortfalls– Experiencing
obsolescenceof electroniccontrol systems
– Spare parts inventory
Assistant Commandant forEngineering and Logistics
HomelandSecurity POLAR Breakers - Aging Assets
• CGC POLAR STAR– 29 years of service– 17 Deep Freeze missions,
including 2004-2006
• CGC POLAR SEA– 27 years of service– 16 Deep Freeze missions,
including 2001-2004
Assistant Commandant forEngineering and Logistics
HomelandSecurity Engineering Status
• Complex propulsion plant– Optimized 70’s technology to meet requirements– Achieved reliability through redundancy
• Current condition– Critical systems require replacement or upgrade– Obsolescence concerns– Reliability
concerns
Assistant Commandant forEngineering and Logistics
HomelandSecurity Sustainment Plan
• Short term– Goal of improving reliability to continue to accomplish
the Deep Freeze mission annually– CGC POLAR SEA is in a two-year maintenance
availability– CGC POLAR STAR will undergo similar repairs in
FY07 and FY08
• Long term– Initiate major acquisition process to upgrade or
replace heavy icebreakers
Assistant Commandant forEngineering and Logistics
HomelandSecurity FY05 Funding Status
• HEALY– CG has obligated $4.1M baseline maintenance funding– CG has obligated $4M above baseline to prep for AWES 05
• POLAR STAR– All FY05 baseline Polar Class maintenance funding obligated to PSTAR…$7.4M. – CG has obligated $3.6M above baseline– Ensure readiness for DF06 deployment
• POLAR SEA– CG has obligated $4.8M above baseline – Working with NSF for transfer of $9.2M in OMB-directed split of
FY05 extraordinary maintenance expenses– Maintain progress toward readiness for DF07 deployment

HomelandSecurity Bridging Strategy
(short term)
• Address reliability, safety, and obsolescence through upgrade or replacement
• Key systems include:– Main propulsion motors– Main diesel engines– Shafting– Central hydraulic system– Motor safe boat– Gas turbines
Assistant Commandant forEngineering and Logistics
HomelandSecurity Acquisition Process
(long term)
• Initiate acquisition process for heavy icebreakers– in accordance with DHS procedures– First asset will not be available until approx. 6 years after funding
becomes available– Multiple options will be compared as part of an analysis of
alternatives– Shift of Polar Icebreaker funding to NSF in FY06 may affect
process to obtain acquisition funding– Will likely require a national icebreaker policy
