問題詳情
The Coast Guard faces several issues in the near future. Lack of coverage affects many areas with high maritime traffic.For example, local officials in Scituate, Massachusetts, have 53 that there is no permanent Coast Guard station,and the presence of the Coast Guard in winter is vital. One reason for this lack of coverage is the relatively high cost ofbuilding storm-proof buildings on coastal property; the Cape Hatteras station was abandoned in 2005 after winterstorms wiped 54 the 12-foot (3.7 m) sand dune serving as its protection from the ocean. Faced with these issuesthe Coast Guard has contracted with General Dynamics C4 System to provide a complete 55 of their 1970s eraradio equipment. Rescue 21 is the United States Coast Guard's advanced command, control and communicationssystem. Created to improve the ability to assist mariners in distress and save lives and property at sea, the system iscurrently being installed in stages across the United States. The nation's existing maritime search and rescue (SAR)communications system has been in operation since the early 1970s. Difficult to maintain, increasingly 56 , andprone to coverage gaps, this antiquated system no longer meets the safety needs of America's growing marine traffic. Inaddition, it is incapable of supporting the Coast Guard's new mission requirements for homeland security, whichrequire close relation with Department of Defense agencies as well as federal, state and local law enforcementauthorities. 57 this system enhances the safety and protection of America's waterways.
