The BCSO Marine Unit, in collaboration with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, provides another level of security for the waters off our Cape Cod coastline. With a complete communications package and up-to-date marine electronics, S300 is capable of meeting the most demanding mission requirements of a boat of her size and capacity. Dual 300 HP 4-Stroke Yamaha engines ensure reliable operation and provide rapid response capability. At the crew’s disposal are dual 12” multi-function displays for navigational, radar, sidevision sonar, downvision sonar, FLIR thermal infra-red, lowlight/daylight video, Encrypted AIS/Blue Force Tracker, and engine information. S300 is also equipped to detect radiological and nuclear material being surreptitiously transported aboard potentially hostile boats. The Thermo Scientific™ FHT1377 GN-2 Packeye is the latest in radiation detection equipment for effectively addressing the problems of orphaned sources, radiation detection and sources for malicious intent.
