Gulfstream C-37 | USA | Long Range Command & Control Aircraft | C-37A | 2 | Two USCG VC-37As provides VIP transport for high-ranking members of the and U.S. Coast Guard using the designation Coast Guard 01 or Coast Guard 02. The C-37A enjoys commonality of parts and supplies with more than a dozen C-37As operated by the Department of Defense. | |
HC-130 Hercules | USA | Search and Rescue Aircraft | HC-130B HC-130H HC-130J |
5 22 6 |
The Coast Guard's fleet currently includes five HC-130H (1500 series), 22 HC-130H-7 (1700 series), and six HC-130J models of the famous Hercules, widely recognized as the West's premier military transport. Many of the HC-130Bs are slated to be replaced by HC-130Js. | |
HC-144 Ocean Sentry | Spain | Search and Rescue Aircraft | HC-144 | 13 | The HC-144A will assume medium range surveillance and transport requirements, replacing the HU-25 and some HC-130s. The Ocean Sentry has the capability to perform aerial delivery of search and rescue equipment such as rafts, pumps, and flares, and it can serve as an on-scene commander platform for homeland security missions, since it is outfitted with the IDS Command and Control (C2) System, and the start-of-the-art C4ISR suite of sensors and avionics. CGAS Miami is the first unit to receive operational HC-144A's. | |
HU-25 Guardian | France | Search and Rescue Aircraft | HU-25 | 41 | Most of the service's HU-25s have been decommissioned, with complete phase-out slated by 2014. They will be replaced by the HC-144A Ocean Sentry. | |

HH-60 Jayhawk | USA | Medium Range Recovery (MRR) Helicopter | HH-60J MH-60T |
41 | There are 42 total Jayhawks in the Coast Guard air fleet, with 35 in operational use. A number of the MH-60s have completed an upgrade and are redesigned as MH-60T. | |
HH-65 Dolphin | France | Short Range Recovery (SRR) Helicopter | MH-65C MH-65D MH-65E |
101 | There are 101 H-65s in the inventory. As part of the ongoing H-65 Conversion / Sustainment Project, all HH-65Bs have been upgraded to HH-65C configuration, equipped with Turbomecca Arriel 2C2 engines. Furthermore, the re-designation of AUF HH-65Cs to MH-65Cs reflects the installation of armament and a significantly upgraded communications package. The MH-65D is also currently being delivered to air stations throughout the Coast Guard. The MH-65E model is expected to begin to be delivered to the fleet in FY14. |
