USCG press release
The Coast Guard Oct. 6 issued a delivery order worth approximately $66.6 million to Gulfstream Aerospace of Savannah, Georgia, to purchase a new C-37B long range command and control aircraft, plus installation of Coast Guard-specific communications and security equipment. The purchase leveraged an existing Department of Defense contract administered by the Air Force.
The Coast Guard currently operates two C-37 long range command and control aircraft that provide command and control, required-use transport worldwide for Coast Guard and Department of Homeland Security leadership. The new C-37B will ensure the Coast Guard retains a two-aircraft fleet in order to provide this deployed command and control capacity.
