The C-37A enjoys commonality of parts and supplies with more than a dozen C-37As operated by the Department of Defense.

Many of the HC-130Bs are slated to be replaced by HC-130Js.
HC-144 Ocean Sentry		Spain	Search and rescue aircraft	HC-144	16	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 Miamiis the first unit to receive operational HC-144A's.
HU-25 Guardian		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.
Helicopters
HH-60 Jayhawk		USA	Medium Range Recovery (MRR) helicopter	HH-60J MH-60T	41	There are 42 total Jayhawks in the Coast Guard air fleet, with 35 in operational use. A number of the MH-60s have completed an upgrade and are redesigned as MH-60T.
HH-65 Dolphin		France	Short Range Recovery (SRR) helicopter	MH-65C MH-65D 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.
