Coast Guard: Update on Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement System

Abstract

Over the last decade, the United States Coast Guard (USCG) has experienced difficulties in acquiring the Marine Information for Safety and Law Enforcement (MISLE) system an information system to track marine safety and law-enforcement activities involving commercial and recreational vessels. In 1999, the Coast Guard terminated a contract to acquire MISLE, after spending about 4 years and $26 million, and is instead developing the system at its Operations Systems Center. As you requested, our objective was to provide an update on MISLE s status, plans, and technical and programmatic risks.
