# US Coast Guard Awards $49M Radar Contract

On October 21, 2026, the U.S. Coast Guard awarded Furuno USA a 10-year, $49 million indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract for its Next Generation Surface Search Radar program. The award will standardize radar and display systems across more than 140 cutters, over 400 shore installations, and Coast Guard training facilities, creating a broad deployment and support footprint for the selected systems.

- The program may create follow-on opportunities in navigation software, sensor-data distribution, system integration, training, and lifecycle support. Suppliers in these areas can assess where their offerings complement the standardized radar architecture.
- The IDIQ structure and multi-platform scope make Furuno USA the central awardee; other firms should evaluate potential subcontracting or supporting roles around deployment and sustainment.
- The source provides no solicitation number or procurement contact, so it does not identify a specific channel for pursuing work.
