Helping the United States Coast Guard with Search & Rescue and Homeland Security.
The Coast Guard is now implementing Rescue 21 an ambitious program to upgrade and modernize its communications
capabilities. Domain Time is being used as part of this project to synchronize time in this new, advanced command, control, and communications (C3) system.
Rescue 21 will allow Coast Guard personnel to respond faster to maritime emergencies since this modern
communications system includes direction-finding equipment. This equipment will aid in locating mariners in distress
within 20 miles from our shores. The system will also allow digital selective calling transmissions that instantly
transmit a vessel's identity, exact location, and other vital information when properly registered and used in
conjunction with an integrated Global Positioning System receiver.
Rescue 21 has come at the right time. It will have a positive impact on all our coastal mission areas resulting in
improved performance and a safer, more secure nation.
--Thomas H. Collins
Admiral, United States Coast Guard
