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 funded 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 or other vessels of interest. 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. Development and improvement continues on the 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 is used for all new system installations and replaces the legacy systems as they reach end of life and require upgrading. Additionally, SURTASS 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. In FY16, funds were reprogrammed to complete the first prototype contracting and deployment in support of the Navy's Theater Anti-Submarine Warfare (TASW) Offset Strategy. This is Military Intelligence Program (MIP). In FY17, the IUSS Research and Development project (0766) funds the second major prototype contracting and deployment to support the Navy's TASW Offset Strategy. This is a MIP. In FY18, the IUSS Research and Development project (0766) funds the third major prototype contracting and deployment to support the Navy's TASW Offset Strategy. This is a MIP. FY18 OCO request of $11.600M is to support the TASW FY18 European Initiative Program Budget Recommendation (ERI PBR). The TASW ERI PBR responds to an urgent EUROCOM/AFRICOM requirement for additional maritime intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. PEOSUB, in conjunction with COMSUBFOR and CNO, directed a rapid prototyping program be undertaken utilizing systems developed by the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC). Development of TASW capabilities to meet TASW requirements against evolving threats in the EUROCOM/AFRICOM Area of Responsibility (AOR) will also serve to address similar requirements globally. 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.
