Ship-Towed Array Surveillance Systems

Abstract

The FY 2021 funding request was reduced by $2.000 million to account for the availability of prior year execution balances. T-AGOS are Ocean surveillance ships that gather underwater acoustical data to support the Integrated Undersea Surveillance System (IUSS) mission by providing a ship platform capable of theater anti-submarine passive and active acoustic surveillance. T-AGOS ships are operated by Military Sealift Command (MSC) to support the anti-submarine warfare (ASW) mission of Atlantic and Pacific Fleet Commanders. Both classes of T-AGOS ships use the Surveillance Towed-Array Sensor System (SURTASS) to gather undersea acoustic data. They also carry electronic equipment to process and transmit that data via satellite to shore stations for evaluation. Funding in this budget will recapitalize Navy's Auxiliary General Ocean Surveillance (T-AGOS) ships (four T-AGOS 19 Class vessels & one T-AGOS 23 Class vessel) with a total of seven (7) T-AGOS(X) ships based on the 2016 N81 Force Structure Assessment (FSA).

Change Summary Explanation
The FY 2019 decrease of $.204 million reflects a combination of -$.605 million for Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) transfer and a reprogramming increase of $0.401 million to support the T-AGOS(X) development schedule. The FY 2021 increase of $.125 million is due to NWCF adjustments.
