Service life is 15 to 20 years. This begins the reset of twenty-four (24) over age and deteriorating patrol boats continuously deployed to CENTCOM in support of Operation Freedom's Sentinel - Theater (OFS-T). The craft are needed to maintain operational capability and readiness to support force protection and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) missions in CENTCOM for OFS-T. Rigid Inflatable Boats (RIB) ISO Global Mine Warfare (MIW) Operations - OCO funding to support the purchase of one (1) 8.5M Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) to replace the Combat Rubber Rating Crafts (CRRCs) currently being utilized for global Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) inshore surveys. The larger RIBs are required due to the CRRCs not being designed for offshore use thus unsafe/unreliable in offshore maritime conditions, and severely limit maneuverability through most sea-states which is unsuitable for the majority of UUV surveys. RIBs are designed for offshore UUV survey requests. The RHIBs will greatly improve the ability to provide mission critical information aimed at protecting the Navy from underwater threats and support the increased naval demand in offshore operations. The project is in geographic area for MIW operations in support of a USCENTCOM requirement ("SPARTAN SHIELD"/FTN # 1190C066396) UKRAINE PRESIDENTIAL DRAWDOWN AUTHORITY (PDA) HSMST (HIGH SPEED MANEUVERABLE SURFACE TARGET) - Ukraine Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) funds to procure Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) range support equipment that includes self-propelled surface targets, towed surface targets, and associated target augmentation to mimic threats and/or provide feedback.

SSPBV BLOCKING VESSELS Blocking Vessels - 250 ft Off Shore Vessels (OSVs) also referred to as Blocking Vessels (BVs) operating at each Strategic Weapons Facility (Bangor, Washington and Kings Bay, Georgia). The Blocking Vessels are a key security component in the transit of SSBNs to and from the dive point. Service Life is 25 years. H0014 - SMALL UNMANNED SURFACE VEHICLES (sUSV) FAMILY OF SYSTEMS The sUSV Portfolio consists of a family of systems designed to meet an urgent Geographic Combatant Command Requirement. sUSV: Platform 1 is an unmanned vehicle that requires a high bandwidth datalink to operate at long distances. Additionally, the platform will be equipped with a radar, infrared devices, and will be capable of carrying various payloads. The platform will be delivered with an autonomy ready package, high-definition surveillance cameras, and remote command and control capabilities. The Navy has an emergent need to operate sUSVs with autonomous software while operating at long distances. The Navy has defined the emergent need to operate and refine tactics with the sUSVs. sUSV Next (Platform 2+): sUSV Next consists of a combination of sUSVs that will be used to conduct Naval operations to meet an urgent Geographic Combatant Command Requirement. sUSV Next is a production-ready, inexpensive Maritime capability leveraging the best of commercial technology and innovations at speed and scale. A single sUSV consists of a USV, a communications system, a command and control (C2) station, the procurement and integration of autonomy software, and a payload that will be integrated once the USV is delivered. RRL FORCE PROTECTION Ready, Relevant Learning (RRL) is a transformational Navy training initiative designed to accelerate the learning of every Sailor for faster response to our rapidly changing warfighting requirements and to achieve higher performance by coupling the timing of training delivery with every Sailor's actual deck plate needs. RRL is developing a continuum-of-learning by offering the right training at the right time so that our Sailors are ready to operate their equipment at the extreme technical end of its capability to win the high-end fight. RRL is transforming outdated training content and archaic methodology into a modernized, on demand, Fleet-responsive learning system. Modernized training delivery is producing more efficient and effective training by leveraging new technologies and training support via several MyNavy HR initiatives including: MyNavy Career Center, My Navy Portal, Learning Stack, and Authoritative Data Environment. Multi-Use EOD Response Craft The boats are stripped down version of the Multi-Use EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) response craft (MERC) in support of RRL training. The MERC is a highly versatile small boat designed for rapid deployment and response to explosive threats in maritime environments. Equipped with advanced EOD tools and technology, it enables precise operations, including detection, neutralization, and disposal of underwater and surface explosives, ensuring the safety and security of naval and civilian vessels. Service Life is 15 Years.

What it is
- Standard Boats (budget line 1210) is a U.S. Navy procurement line funded in the Other Procurement, Navy account.
- The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) procures these boats to fill allowances set by the Chief of Naval Operations and NAVSEA and to replace boats now in service that are beyond economical repair at shore activities and aboard ships.
- The line buys a range of small craft, including Force Protection Boats — light aluminum outboard-powered boats roughly 7 to 11 meters in length used for fleet force protection, maritime interdiction, and law-enforcement operations at Naval activities and adjacent ports and waterways.
- The FY2026 request supports boats for Base Operating Forces, Amphibious Assault Ships, Explosive Ordnance forces, Naval Special Warfare, Fleet Logistics Support, Submarine Warfare, training activities, and force protection.
Why it matters
- The line's total funding is $866,515 thousand (about $867 million) requested for FY2026, up sharply from $422,832 thousand enacted in FY2025.
- In FY2024 the line recorded actual spending of $223,529 thousand (about $224 million), so the FY2026 request is nearly four times its recent execution level.
- Almost all of the growth is mandatory funding: the FY2026 request splits into a discretionary request of $51,546 thousand (about $52 million) and a much larger reconciliation (mandatory) request of $814,969 thousand (about $815 million).
- The reconciliation (mandatory) portion of the FY2026 request is $814,969 thousand, with further detail provided in the Shipbuilding and Readiness sections of the Reconciliation Exhibit.
- The program's justification notes that the FY2026 request was reduced by $0.062 million for advisory and assistance services and by $0.072 million for civilian personnel in alignment with the Administration's Department of Government Efficiency executive orders.
Key players
- The line is run by the U.S. Navy, with funding drawn from the Other Procurement, Navy appropriation.
- The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) manages the procurement, buying boats to fill inventory objectives that change based on Fleet requirements.
