However, typical operations will consist of a crew of four (4). Total personnel capacity shall be not less than twelve (12), including passengers and crew. Not all 12 personnel require seats or environmental protection.

044-1.3 When used in PWCS or Defense Operations, the RB-S crew will be required to operate a machine gun mounted on the vessel. Operations involving machine gun use could involve the RB-S approaching a target directly or at an angle requiring arc of fire as specified in Section 710-1.4.

044-1.4 When used as a SAR platform, the RB-S is expected to execute standard search patterns for vessels or persons in the water utilizing installed electronics systems and crew lookouts. The RB-S shall provide the crew with the capability to reach down in the water and retrieve a person with no more than two (2) crew members at normal operating conditions. The RB-S shall provide for unassisted self-recovery of able-bodied crew members from the water.

044-2 Operating Conditions

044-2.1 RB-S employment can occur at any time day or night, and will be operated in bayous, lakes, rivers, bays, oceans and other waters subject to the jurisdiction of the Coast Guard. The RB-S will operate in both salt and fresh water, and at the ends of U.S. Sea Lines of Communication (SLOC), which are normally commercial or military seaports, the seaward approaches to the port and adjacent coastal waters within 15 nautical miles (nm) of shore.

044-2.2 The RB-S will be based at shore stations and may be berthed in the water, at a pier or slip, or on the boat’s trailer. The RB-S may be launched via boat ramps or lifted from the trailer to the water via crane or other hoisting device.

044-2.3 The RB-S may be transported via flat-bed truck, ship, aircraft (C-130), or rail. The RB-S must be able to be lifted by the RB-S’s padeyes/lifting eyes with lifting gear provided by the OEM (at full load). Furthermore, the boat and trailer must be suitable for simultaneous rigging, so that the trailer may be lifted with the boat on the trailer.

044-3 Annual Hours of Operation

044-3.1 The RB-S is anticipated to operate between 500 and 1,000 hours per year over its service life. The RB-S may be stored uncovered in the water or on a trailer for the remainder of the time.
