Polar Security Cutter program

The Polar Security Cutter Program is a program to recapitalize the United States Coast Guard's aging fleet of polar icebreakers, consisting of the heavy icebreaker USCGC Polar Star and the medium icebreakers USCGC Healy and USCGC Storis as of 2026, with three new multi-mission vessels referred to as Polar Security Cutters (PSC). These heavy polar icebreakers will allow the USCG to perform its statutory missions in the Arctic as well as support the United States Antarctic Program with Operation Deep Freeze.
