Feasibility Study for the United States Coast Guard Advanced Vehicle Concept (Planing Hull).

Abstract

This report describes the design of two versions (125' and 110') of high speed planing craft for the USCG. Conclusions include: (1) Either craft is capable of performing both the primary and secondary missions. These craft have the speed for interception, good ride quality and low acceleration characteristics in high sea states, the necessary load-carrying capability for navigation aids or weapons, and the proper equipment for law enforcement. and (2) The 125' USCGX meets all of the design guidelines as presented in this study. The 110' version meets all of the requirements with the exception that it only meets the minimal requirements of endurance and cannot meet the 35 knot burst speed.
