ROSSLYN, Va., March 22 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Coast Guard and the
U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration have announced the record
maritime seizure of more than 42,000 pounds of cocaine by 378-foot
Coast Guard Cutters Hamilton and Sherman, both recipients of
Deepwater C4ISR upgrades. "Our congratulations go to the brave men
and women of the U.S. Coast Guard," said Leo Mackay, president of
Integrated Coast Guard Systems. "We are proud to see another
example of Deepwater capabilities being successfully proven in the
field. The system was designed to improve Coast Guard and
interagency coordination - and that's just what has happened." As
part of a two-phased effort, the Deepwater team upgraded

medium-endurance cutters providing access to a secure data network
via SIPRNET, image sharing through faster satellite communications
(SATCOM) and improved target identification using Automatic
Identification Systems (AIS). The 12 378-foot cutters also received
law enforcement radios allowing them to communicate in a protected
environment. About Integrated Coast Guard Systems ICGS is a joint
