Ship-Towed Array Surveillance Systems

Abstract

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-AGOS25 Class ships based on the 2016 N81 Force Structure Assessment (FSA).
