THOR provides the US Coast Guard Offshore Patrol Cutter (OPC) Program Office with programmatic, engineering, and technical support for this next generation of cutters. The OPC will be a critical Coast Guard asset in support of the national security strategy for maintaining the nation’s economic, social, environmental, and military security mission areas. The OPC will typically conduct its primary missions beyond 12 nautical miles from share and bridge the capability between the National Security Cutters (NSCs) and Fast Response Cutters (FRCs) to complete the new system of surface assets, as the NSCs, FRCs, and OPCs constitute the majority of the cutter assets capable of operating in the US Coast Guard’s Area of Responsibility (AOR).
