  1. Commissioned in 2000 Funding shortfalls Experiencing obsolescence of electronic control systems Spare parts inventory CGC HEALY

  2. CGC POLAR STAR 29 years of service 17 Deep Freeze missions, including 2004-2006 CGC POLAR SEA 27 years of service 16 Deep Freeze missions, including 2001-2004 POLAR Breakers - Aging Assets

  3. Complex propulsion plant Optimized 70’s technology to meet requirements Achieved reliability through redundancy Current condition Critical systems require replacement or upgrade Obsolescence concerns Reliability concerns Engineering Status

  4. Short term Goal of improving reliability to continue to accomplish the Deep Freeze mission annually CGC POLAR SEA is in a two-year maintenance availability CGC POLAR STAR will undergo similar repairs in FY07 and FY08 Long term Initiate major acquisition process to upgrade or replace heavy icebreakers Sustainment Plan

  5. HEALY CG has obligated $4.1M baseline maintenance funding CG has obligated $4M above baseline to prep for AWES 05 POLAR STAR All FY05 baseline Polar Class maintenance funding obligated to PSTAR…$7.4M. CG has obligated $3.6M above baseline Ensure readiness for DF06 deployment POLAR SEA CG has obligated $4.8M above baseline Working with NSF for transfer of $9.2M in OMB-directed split of FY05 extraordinary maintenance expenses Maintain progress toward readiness for DF07 deployment FY05 Funding Status

  6. Address reliability, safety, and obsolescence through upgrade or replacement Key systems include: Main propulsion motors Main diesel engines Shafting Central hydraulic system Motor safe boat Gas turbines Bridging Strategy(short term)

  7. Initiate acquisition process for heavy icebreakers in accordance with DHS procedures First asset will not be available until approx. 6 years after funding becomes available Multiple options will be compared as part of an analysis of alternatives Shift of Polar Icebreaker funding to NSF in FY06 may affect process to obtain acquisition funding Will likely require a national icebreaker policy Acquisition Process(long term)
