SHIP-TOWED ARRAY SURVEILLANCE SYSTEMS

Abstract

This program was previously funded in FY 2018 under Program Element 0603564N (Ship Preliminary Design and Feasibility Studies) Project 3261 (TAGOS Design and Total Ship Integration). This program element continues efforts started under the previous program element and is not a new start. FY20 funding will enable the program to complete Preliminary Design, start contract design and continue industry participation. T-AGOS Design & Total Ship Integration - Ocean surveillance ships gather underwater acoustical data to support the mission of the Integrated Undersea Surveillance System by providing a ship platform capable of theater anti-submarine acoustic passive and active surveillance. Auxiliary General Ocean Surveillance Ships (T-AGOS) are operated by Military Sealift Command to support the anti-submarine warfare mission of the commanders of the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets. The two current classes of surveillance ships use surveillance towed-array sensor system (SURTASS) equipment to gather undersea acoustic data. The ships also carry electronic equipment to process and transmit that data via satellite to shore stations for evaluation. Funding will support recapitalization of the four SWATH (T-19 Class) and one SWATH (T-23 Class) Auxiliary General Ocean Surveillance ships (T-AGOS).
