Integrated Surveillance System

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) comprises two projects - 0766 and 9999. Project 0766 provides for Integrated Undersea Surveillance Systems (IUSS) Research and Development Projects under the Maritime Surveillance Systems (MSS) Program Office (PEO LMW PMS 485). IUSS provides the Navy with its primary means of submarine detection both nuclear and diesel. A portion of project 0766 (FSS) is classified, with details available at a higher classification level. Project 9999 consists of three Congressional Adds: Autonomous Anti-Submarine Vertical Beam Array (FY09 and FY10), Distributed Maritime Surveillance System (FY09), and Low-Cost, Expendable, Fiber Optic Sensor Array (FY09). U) JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: The IUSS Research and Development project (0766) funds SURTASS Passive and SURTASS Low Frequency Active (LFA) developments. SURTASS provides the mobile, tactical arm of the Integrated Undersea Surveillance System, providing long range detection and cueing for tactical weapons platforms against both diesel and nuclear powered submarines. SURTASS LFA provides an active adjunct capability for IUSS passive and tactical sensors to assist in countering the quieter diesel and nuclear threats of the 1990s and beyond. The LFA tasks are directed at detection of slow quiet threats in harsh littoral waters. (U) In order to continue with reductions in life cycle costs and continue with system-wide consolidation, a short-term goal is to develop a common IUSS processor based on NAVSEA's Acoustic Rapid COTS Insertion (ARCI) program. The IUSS Integrated Common Processor (ICP) will have the capability to process and display data from all fixed and mobile underwater systems. The IUSS ICP will be used for all new system installations and replace the legacy systems as they reach end of life and require upgrading. Additionally, SURTASS has consolidated on the TB-29A Twin-line array, a variant of the Submarine TB-29A Long line array. This reduced the number of array variants employed by SURTASS from 3 to 1, and will enable development and logistics cost savings by leveraging off the submarine TB-29A program.
