CG-LIMS would also have been utilized on 245 cutters, 200 aircraft, 1,800 boats, shore-based systems, aids to navigation equipment and command, control, communications, computers, cyber, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance equipment.
But starting no later than May 1, 2025, all program activities regarding CG-LIMS will end.
According to the Coast Guard, the termination is the result of the program’s inability to deliver on its full requirements in the near future.
The $32.7 million saved will instead be used "to address emergent Coast Guard needs," according to the military service. Personnel that worked on CG-LIMS will be "reassigned to fill critical personnel shortages" within the Coast Guard, it said.
