Proteus Engineering was tasked by the Marine Systems and Environmental Technology Division, U.S. Coast Guard Research and Development Center, to investigate propulsion systems that may be candidates for the Coast Guard's Deepwater Surface Platform. This report summarizes the finding of the investigation. The U.S. Coast Guard is in the concept exploration phase of its Deepwater Capabilities Replacement project. This project will define the next generation of surface, air and command, control, communications, computers, intelligence, sensors, and reconnaissance (C4ISR) assets used to perform the Coast Guard's missions in the Deepwater environment (greater than 50 NM off the U.S. coastline). As part of early technology investigations, the Project Manager has a requirement to understand surface ship propulsions systems technology that will be functionally available and proven by 2002.
