Integrated Surveillance System

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) comprises two projects - 0766 and 0344. Project 0766 provides for Integrated Undersea Surveillance Systems (IUSS) Research and Development Projects under the Maritime Surveillance Systems (MSS) Program Office (PEO SUB 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 0344 funds the Shallow Water Surveillance System (SWSS) project to develop and demonstrate the technology to enable autonomous installation of a passive acoustic array with processing and communications gear. 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. 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, with a cyclical tech refresh of hardware and software in conjunction with the submarine Advanced Processor Build (APB) process. The IUSS Integrated Common Processor (ICP) has 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 enabled development and logistics cost savings by leveraging off the submarine TB-29A program. The Shallow Water Surveillance System (SWSS) project (0344) funds the development and demonstration of the Version 1 system with technology to enable autonomous classification and reporting of specific submarine targets of interest.
