TAGOS Design & Total Ship Integration

Abstract

T-AGOS are ocean surveillance ships that gather underwater acoustical data to support the mission of the Integrated Undersea Surveillance System (IUSS) 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 Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull (SWATH) T-19 Class and one SWATH T-23 Class.
