FY14 RDT&E Project Portfolio - USCG - U.S. Coast Guard

CPB Sustainment Program Business Case Analysis
Mission Need: Determine the cost effectiveness of extending the 87’ Coastal Patrol Boats (CPBs) past their
design service life and the tradeoffs associated with pursuit of a new acquisition.
Project Objectives:
• Develop a Business Case Analysis (BCA) that clearly defines the costs,
risks, and critical information associated with maintaining the existing fleet,
acquiring a new CPB fleet, or some bridging strategy that combines the
two.
• The BCA will identify, assess, and address the following:
- Sustainment options for the 87’ CPB fleet,
- Acquisition options for replacement assets,
- The risks associated with each option, and
- A recommendation for future sustainment projects for the 87’ CPB fleet
or a new acquisition program.
