BACKGROUND:
FPMs are primarily used for fleet force protection, maritime interdiction, law enforcement operations at Naval activities and adjacent ports and waterways duties. The operational requirements for the boat are to provide Anti-Terrorism/Force Protection patrols for US Navy Installations, which include patrol, interrogation of other waterborne assets and escorting large vessels in and out of port in various weather and water conditions, throughout the year, day and night.
Because the boats are deployed worldwide, it is encouraged they be procured with core standard systems to maximize compatibility with existing US Navy craft logistics and training programs and minimize impact to Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) aspects (provisioning, training, etc.). Key logistically-significant systems are specified to achieve ILS commonality across acquisition contract years and thus Reduce Total Ownership Cost (R-TOC).

. Gasoline powered outboard engine
. Aluminum boats approximately 10 meters (33 ft.) in length.
. Cabin w/ Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC)
. Integrated electronic navigation system
. Protective collar
