Arctic warming is expected to drive increased traffic through the Arctic region for tourism, research, resource extraction and transportation purposes. Understanding the US will have a strategic objective in the region in the coming decades, the current U.S. Navy (USN) fleet is not designed to meet the challenges of operating in the Arctic environment. Anticipating that need, the Green Arctic Patrol Vessel (GAPV) project was a summer intern project in the Center for Innovation in Ship Design (CISD) at Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock (NSWCCD) during the summer of 2009, and is now in its third iteration. The project developed a concept of operations and design for a USN Arctic Patrol Vessel capable of meeting current gaps in Arctic operational capability. The goal of this report is to describe this vessel design and highlight some of the high level impacts the Arctic environment has on surface combatant design.
