This report presents the results of a cost and operational effectiveness analysis (COEA) of selected mission alternatives for the International. This report is Interim Report Volume 1 for the Cost and Operational Effectiveness Analysis for Ice Patrol Mission Analysis Study. The report characterizes the various processes used in International Ice Patrol (IIP) operations, including the types of information used by the IIP, the data requirements and processes necessary to develop that information, and how the information is provided to the mariner. Included are descriptions of the existing authority, organization, and management of the IIP as well as initial characterizations of the operating cost of the IIP. The purpose of the report is to provide a broad, accurate description of the IIP as it currently operates.
