The 44-Inch Low Endurance Coastie Cutter class is the smallest cutter ever built for the US Coast Guard and US Coast Guard Auxiliary. It is powered by electric motors operated by remote control and has independent directional control drive wheels. Equipped with a full duplex two-way voice system, water squirter, MP3 player, siren, and more, this cutter was introduced to the US Coast Guard and US Coast Guard Auxiliary inventory in 1997 – production is still continuing by the Robotronics Shipyard in Springville, Utah.
