Description
Description — Coast Guard Weapons
The Coast Guard Weapons line funds the gun weapon systems of the Navy-Type/Navy-Owned Coast Guard Combat System Suite for the United States Coast Guard (USCG) cutters under the Coast Guard Surface Acquisition Program. Under inter-service agreement (delineated in OPNAVINST 4000.79(Series)), Department of Navy (DON) plans, programs, and budgets for specific Navy military equipment, systems and logistic support requirements for Coast Guard units to ensure the Coast Guard is prepared to execute naval warfare tasks in consonance with US Navy units. Ship construction and installation costs are funded under the Department of Homeland Security appropriation. The Combat System Suite including weapons and sensors will be aligned with future naval ship building programs to support commonality among the two service's systems and meet National Fleet objectives. The Combat System Suite must compliment and integrate with Navy Combat Systems. The suite is an appropriate balance of equipment to ensure the Coast Guard is prepared to accomplish the assigned Naval Operational Capabilities in concert with US Navy units. The 57mm MK 110 Gun is the primary weapon system of the Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC) and National Security Cutter (NSC), and the MK 160 Gun Control System is a required gun control component for each 57mm MK 110 gun mount. The MK 38 Machine Gun System is the primary weapon system of the Fast Response Cutter (FRC), Polar Security Cutter (PSC) and Medium Range Endurance Cutters (WMEC) and secondary AT/FP weapon system for the Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC). These weapon systems, as well as their integration with the combat systems and sensors of each supported hull, are critical to their self-defense and offensive capabilities. These weapon systems, as well as their integration with the combat systems and sensors of each supported hull, are critical to their self-defense and offensive capabilities. [P5 / CG002 MK 110 GUN]: Provides the 57mm MK 110 gun to engage surface threats, independently or in cooperation with other forces, achieving mission kill on high-speed coastal patrol craft beyond small and intermediate caliber gunfire effective range. Includes gun mount, equipment procurement, recurring engineering, and ILS support for the United States Coast Guard National Security Cutter (NSC), aka the Maritime Security Cutter, Large (WMSL), and the Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC), aka the Maritime Security Cutter, Medium (WMSM), in accordance with OPNAVINST 4000.79(Series) and the Naval Operational Capabilities (NOC) document. [P5 / CG003 MK 160 GCS]: Provides the MK 160 Gun Computer System (GCS) including equipment procurement, production support, systems engineering, data, and software and test support for the National Security Cutter (NSC), aka the Maritime Security Cutter, Large (WMSL), and the Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC), aka the Maritime Security Cutter, Medium (WMSM). The MK 160 GCS is required to plan and direct surface threat engagements including the capability to fire warning shots, disabling fire and achieve mission kill against these threats in accordance with National Fleet Policy, OPNAVINST 4000.79(Series), and the Naval Operational Capabilities (NOC) document. [P5 / CG004 MK 38 MACHINE GUN SYSTEMS]: Provides the MK 38 Mod 2/3/4 Machine Gun System (MGS) to plan and engage surface threats, achieving missions kill on high speed patrol craft beyond minor caliber gunfire effective range in accordance with OPNAVINST 4000.79(Series) and the NOC. The MK 38 Mod 3 (vice Mod 2), which began production in FY 2015, permits greater effective range, greater range of elevation to engage air targets, and an improved Toplite electro-optical (EO) system. The MK 38 MGS provides shipboard self-defense against small boat threats and is the main gun of the Fast Response Cutter (FRC), aka Patrol Coastal Cutter (WPC), the Polar Security Cutter (PSC), aka the Maritime Security Cutter, Polar (WMSP), and the WMEC 270' classes and secondary gun mount for the Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC), aka the Maritime Security Cutter, Medium (WMSM). Includes the MK 38 gun mount, Toplite optical sight, M242 cannon, and ancillary components, recurring engineering, outfitting spares, and integrated logistics support (ILS). The MK 38 MGS for the OPC Class will include a 7.62mm MK 52 MOD 0 Coaxial Automatic Gun (COAX ORDALT) for Anti-terrorism / Force Protection (AT/FP) missions in narrow waterways and in-port. [P5 / CG005 GUN WEAPON SYSTEM INTEGRATION]: Ensures successful integration and system interoperability of Navy type equipment that affects the gun weapon systems of USCG National Security Cutter (NSC), aka the Maritime Security Cutter, Large (WMSL), the Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC), aka the Maritime Security Cutter, Medium (WMSM), the Polar Security Cutter (PSC), aka the Maritime Security Cutter, Polar (WMSP), and Fast Response Cutters (FRCs). Includes gun weapon system integration support for the OPC ATHENA Control, Correlation & Display (CCD) System which provides target queuing for Gun Weapon System engagements.
Justification
Justification — Coast Guard Weapons
The FY 2026 request was reduced by $2.134 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative." Funding and inter-service agreements are used to procure Navy-Type/Navy-Owned (NT/NO) combat systems, support equipment, Integrated Logistics Support (ILS), certification, test and production support for USCG National Security Cutter (NSC), aka the Maritime Security Cutter, Large (WMSL), the Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC) Class, aka the Maritime Security Cutter, Medium (WMSM) and the Polar Security Cutter (PSC), aka the Maritime Security Cutter, Polar (WMSP), Fast Response Cutter (FRC), aka the Patrol Coastal Cutter (WPC), and the 270' Medium Endurance Cutter (WMEC) modernization effort being constructed under the Coast Guard's Surface Acquisition Program. Funding also supports C4I systems and associated logistic support for the Offshore Patrol Cutter. These efforts are ongoing. FY 2026 funds the following Coast Guard Weapon items for USCG cutters: procurement of 57mm MK 110 Guns and associated ILS; procurement of MK 160 Gun Computer Systems and associated support; procurement of MK 38 Machine Gun Systems, associated spares/equipment, MK 38 Upgrade to attach a 7.62mm MK 52 Mod 0 Coaxial Gun and CUAS kits, and associated ILS support; provide integration of Gun Weapon Systems with Combat Systems and Sensors (Gun Weapon System Integration) for all supported hull classes; procure and integrate the ATHENA Control, Correlation & Display (CCD) System on WMSMs and PSCs, which provides target queuing for Gun Weapon System engagements. FY26 funding decreased by $10.34 million due to completion of WMSL MK160 57MM Gun Ammunition Updates and MK 38 Machine Gun System procurement reduction from ten (10) to one (1).
