The United States Coast Guard Long Range Interceptor is an 11 meter (approximately 36 feet) high speed launch vessel designed to be deployed from cutters via a rear launching ramp. The Long Range Interceptor is a rigid hull inflatable, powered by water-jets, for intercepting and boarding suspect vessels. It mounts a radar, special shock-proof seats, and can travel at 35 knots. They can be armed with machine guns or grenade launchers. Integrated Coast Guard Systems signed a contract for the construction of the first Long Range Interceptor in February 2006 with Willard Marine.
