HC-144 Ocean Sentry HC-144A Ocean Sentry (2).jpg  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 Hu-25.jpg  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.

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.
