Deployable Surveillance Systems

Abstract

The Deployable Surveillance Systems (DSS) project (0344), complementing FSS and SURTASS, provides flexible and responsive wide area surveillance to the Theater Anti-Submarine Warfare (TASW) commanders worldwide. DSS will operate as adjunct systems to meet the established FSS and SURTASS missions and to meet additional missions as articulated in the OPNAV Top Level Requirements document and follow-on Course of Action Analysis (COAA) and as dictated by TASW commanders evolving and emergent operational requirements. DSS is comprised of the following systems: Deep Water Passive (DWP), Deep Water Active (DWA), and Mobile Active System (MPAS). Informed by TASW Offset operations and the tailored requirements process, the DSS Middle Tier Acquisition (MTA) Rapid Fielding Program will focus initially on the DWP increment and associated spiral development updates. Spiral developments to meet the evolving submarine threat will leverage on-going Navy, DARPA, and small business research efforts including processing and sensor technology. Follow-on increments will be focused on DWA and MPAS. The 2021 increase supports the Middle Tier Acquisition (MTA) rapid fielding of the Deep Water Passive (DWP) Spiral 2 Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) units. Specifically, this increase will fund the development, design and then fabrication of nine (9) DWP Spiral 2 LRIP units including integration of the separately acquired DSS processing subsystem and the DSS Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (C4I) subsystem into the DWP Spiral 2 LRIP baseline.
