Subsurface Systems
ADS
Advanced Deployable System
Description: ADS is a deployable, short-

term, large-area undersea surveillance
system currently under development. ADS is
designed to detect nuclear-powered and
quiet conventional (diesel- electric and air-
independent propulsion) submarines
operating in shallow-water littoral operating
environments. The system will also have
some capability to detect mine-laying
activity and to track surface contacts. ADS
will consist of a Processing and Analysis Segment (PAS), which is connected to the ADS
sensor field by a shore cable and contained in reusable, transportable vans; and the
Underwater Segment (UWS), which is an expendable battery-powered, large-area field of
passive undersea surveillance arrays. ADS will provide threat location information directly
to tactical forces and a reliable maritime picture to the Joint Force Commander. It will be
forward- positioned in a standardized, modular ISO-van configuration to allow on-scene
forces to deploy it rapidly to areas where surveillance is needed to maintain undersea
battlespace dominance. By operating in an unobserved fashion, ADS can provide
indications and warning of potentially hostile maritime activity prior to commencement of
hostilities. Existing Undersea Surveillance System (USS) processing software and display
formats will form the core of the ADS shore signal-processing segment. Commercial Off-
The-Shelf technologies and Non-Developmental Items are being emphasized to maximize

cost effectiveness.
Program Status: ADS is in the Program Definition and Risk Reduction phase, with a
Milestone II decision set for FY 1999. Existing tests with ADS-type arrays against
challenging real-world diesel-electric and nuclear-powered submarines have verified ADS’
capability to perform in demanding littoral water regions.

BLQ-10 ESM System

Virginia Class Electronic Support Measures
Description: The BLQ-10 system, formerly

called the Advanced Submarine Tactical
ESM Combat System (ASTECS) RDT&E
project, will be the advanced ESM system
for the Virginia (SSN-774) class that will
support operations in both the open-ocean
environment and the complex littoral signals
environment. It consists of signal receivers,
displays, and advanced processing and
analysis equipment. ESM provides detection,
identification, and direction-finding for radar
and communication signals emanating from
ships, aircraft, submarines, and other
emitters. ESM equipment is used by attack
submarines to aid in self-protection, situation
awareness, and intelligence-gathering for battle group support. Battle group dissemination
of the information gathered from these signals will be provided via the ship’s combat
control system and communications equipment.
The SSN-774 class ESM suite is a minimally manned ESM system providing several
critical functions for radar and communications signals: detection, signal acquisition,
identification, localization, and threat warning to the combat system. It requires a surface-
penetrating antenna that can be located on the Photonics or ESM mast. The Virginia class
ESM system is being considered for eventual back-fit into Seawolf (SSN-21) and improved
Los Angeles (SSN-688I)-class submarines.
Program Status: The SSN-774 class ESM System entered Engineering and Manufacturing
Development in October 1994. The Engineering Development Models are scheduled to
undergo at-sea operational assessment in late FY 1999 or early FY 2000.
Developer/Manufacturer: Lockheed Martin, Syracuse, New York.
BQQ-10 A-RCI

Description: Acoustic Rapid Commercial

Off-The-Shelf Insertion (A-RCI), designated
AN/BQQ-10, is a four-phase program for
transforming existing submarine sonar
systems (AN/BSY-1, AN/BQQ-5, and

AN/BQQ-6) from legacy systems to a more
capable and flexible COTS/Open System
Architecture (OSA) and also provide the
submarine force with a common sonar
system. A single A-RCI Multi-Purpose
Processor (MPP) has as much computing
power as the entire Los Angeles (SSN-
688/688I) submarine fleet combined and will
allow the development and use of complex
algorithms previously beyond the reach of
legacy processors. The use of COTS/OSA
technologies and systems will enable rapid
periodic updates to both software and
hardware. COTS-based processors will
allow computer power growth at a rate
commensurate with the commercial industry.
Program Status: Phase I (November 1997)

targeted Towed Array Processing; Phase II
(FY 1999) provides additional Towed and
Hull Array software and hardware; Phase III
(FY 2000) replaces current Spherical Array DIMUS beamformer with a linear beamformer;
and Phase IV (FY 2000) upgrades HF sonar on late-generation, Improved Los Angeles-class
submarines (SSN-688I). Each phase installs improved processing and workstations (point
and click, trackballs, Windows). Navy research, development, test, and evaluation will
continue to adopt algorithms from the surveillance, tactical and advanced R&D
communities, perform laboratory and at-sea testing, and distribute upgrades periodically.

delivered to the Navy in summer 1997. The third system will be installed on Jimmy Carter
(SSN-23), currently under construction by General Dynamics Electric Boat Corporation
(see separate summary for the SSN-21 Program).
CCS
Submarine Combat Control System
Description: There are three versions of CCS: CCS Mk 1, BSY-1, and CCS Mk 2. The
latest upgrade to CCS Mk 1 and BSY-1 is Program C4.2V2A, which provides Sturgeon
(SSN-637)- and Los Angeles (SSN-688 and 688I)-class submarines with an upgraded
shallow water variant of the Mk 48 ADCAP torpedo. Additional capabilities are Tomahawk
Block III, an interface to Acoustics Rapid COTS (A-RCI) upgrades, and an interface to the
Global Command and Control System- Maritime (GCCS-M), formerly called the Joint
Maritime Command Information System (JMCIS).
CCS Mk 2 Block 1 is a phased development program that provides significant warfighting

improvements to SSN-688, SSN-688I, and SSBN-726 class submarines. The first phase,
Block 1A/B, provided shallow-water ADCAP torpedo capability as well as interfaces to
GCCS-M and the Advanced Tomahawk Weapon Control System (ATWCS). Both GCCS-M
and ATWCS are Government Off-The-Shelf products developed by other Navy program
offices (see separate program summaries). CCS MK2 Block 1C, planned for fleet
introduction at the end of FY 1999, forms the basis of a common Integrated Development
Plan (IDP) between SSN-688, SSN-688I, and the Virginia (SSN-774) classes of submarines.
This common IDP will ultimately incorporate common Tactical Tomahawk, Improved
Submarine-Launched Mobile Mine (ISLMM), and improved ADCAP capabilities across all
submarine platforms, as well as updates to GCCS-M and ATWCS.
Program Status: Program C4.2V2A installations have begun and are expected to complete
in FY 1999 for all CCS Mk 1 and AN/BSY-1 systems. CCS Mk 2 Block 1A/B successfully
completed two dockside installations and Operational Evaluation in the third quarter of FY
1997. The next upgrade to CCS Mk 1, BSY-1, and CCS Mk 2 Block 1A/B will be CCS MK
2 Block 1C. CCS Mk 2 Block 1C Milestone II was completed in the third quarter FY 1996.
Planned installations to support development and operational testing are on schedule for FY
2000.

FDS-C
Fixed Distributed System-COTS
Description: FDS-C is a developmental,

Commercial Off-The-Shelf version of the
existing FDS system, a long-term, passive
acoustic fixed surveillance system. Both
consist of a series of arrays deployed on the
ocean floor in deep-ocean areas, across
straits and other chokepoints, or in strategic
shallow-water littoral areas. Both also
comprise two components: the Underwater
Segment (UWS) that performs the detection,
and the Shore Signal and Information
Processing Segment (SSIPS) that handles the
processing, display, and communication functions.
The FDS program was canceled in 1993 following the deployment of the Engineering
Development Model, designated FDS-1. FDS-1 is an operational fleet asset. FDS-C was
developed following the cancellation of FDS by taking advantage of advances made in
commercial industry that will provide a much more cost-effective FDS-caliber system to
meet the Fleet’s ongoing needs for long-term undersea surveillance.
FDS-C will provide threat location information to tactical forces and contribute to the
reliable maritime picture of the Joint Force Commander. It will be deployed in strategic
locations where surveillance is needed to maintain undersea battlespace dominance. Due to
its strategic positioning and long lifetime, FDS-C can provide indications and warning of
hostile maritime activity prior to hostilities. Development of the all-fiber-optic hydrophone
passive array will increase system reliability and performance and also reduce costs.
Program Status: System testing and evaluation is complete. The next generation of
underwater systems (FDS-C) is in the design verification and source-selection stage of
development.
Developer/Manufacturer: FDS UWS: Lucent, Greensboro, North Carolina. SSIPS:

SOSUS
Sound Surveillance System
Description: SOSUS is a broad-area, fixed, passive undersea surveillance system that

continues to provide a critical element of the Integrated Undersea Surveillance System
(IUSS). It comprises a series of hydrophone sensors placed on the ocean floor and
connected to shore facilities where the acoustic data are received, processed, and reviewed
by an acoustic analyst. SOSUS reports surface ship activity and supports anti-submarine
warfare command and tactical forces by detecting, classifying, tracking, and reporting
submarine activity. Additionally, SOSUS provides support — on a not-to-interfere basis —
on dual-use areas such as global warming, seismic activity, marine mammal research, and
fisheries law enforcement.
Program Status: SOSUS has transitioned from single-beam paper displays to computer-
based workstations for acoustic data analysis. Installation of the Shore Signal Information
Processing Segment (SSIPS) and Surveillance Direction System (SDS) was completed at all
shore facilities during FY 1998, giving SOSUS a common equipment configuration and
significantly reducing system infrastructure support costs.

Commercial Off-The- Shelf systems and Non-Developmental Items. The system is designed
for layered and coordinated countermeasures in the littoral operational environment, with
special emphasis on the full integration of all soft-kill elements into the ship’s anti-air
warfare systems. AIEWS will be developed in two increments. Increment I will include the
open system architecture, advanced Electronic Support (ES) that includes Precision
Electronic Support Measures (PESM) and Specific Emitter Identification (SEI), combat
system integration, introduction of an advanced display system, and integration of the Nulka
self-defense decoy system (see separate program summary, below). Increment I will also
provide increased tactical awareness and earlier threat detection, and will support combat
identification with its SEI capability. Increment II will include installation of advanced on-
board radio-frequency and infrared countermeasures. AIEWS will be forward- and back-fit
into Aegis cruisers and destroyers, LPD-17 and other amphibious ship classes, aircraft
carriers, and the DD-21.
Program Status: AIEWS received additional funding in FY 1996 for risk reduction and

Nulka
Decoy System
Description: Nulka is an active, off-board, ship-launched decoy

being developed in cooperation with Australia to counter a wide
spectrum of present and future radar-guided anti-ship cruise
missiles (ASCMs) assessed to have passive rejection capabilities.
The Nulka decoy employs a broadband radio frequency repeater
mounted atop a hovering rocket platform. After launch, the Nulka
decoy radiates a large, ship-like radar cross-section while flying a
trajectory that seduces and decoys incoming ASCMs away from
their intended targets. Australia is developing the hovering rocket,
launcher, and launcher interface unit. The Navy is upgrading
Nulka with an improved payload to reduce cost and modifications
to the fire control system to reduce the system’s overall weight.
The existing Mk 36 Decoy Launching System is being modified to
support Nulka decoys.

Program Status: New system acquisitions are for Arleigh Burke (DDG-51) procurements.
Required modernization of existing systems for shallow-water littoral warfare environment
are being accomplished by COTS adjunct processors and displays. Starting in FY 2003,
SQQ- 89(V)15+MFTA systems will be procured for back-fit installations in DDG-51
warships.
TISS
Thermal Imaging Sensor System
Description: The Thermal Imaging Sensor System (TISS) will provide surface ships with a
day/night, high-resolution, infrared (IR) and visual imaging, and laser range-finder
capability to augment existing optical and radar sensors, especially against small boats and
floating mines. Twenty-four TISS units will be procured in a Non-Developmental Item
program. Units will be used in a rotating pool, transferred from ship to ship in operational
theaters, much like the Navy Mast-Mounted Sight System. The program was expanded to
include permanent installation of designated new-construction ships.
Program Status: The program received Milestone II approval and contract award in
October 1995. A single test unit was procured for test and evaluation in FY 1996. The
Milestone III production decision was approved in December 1996 for five Low-Rate Initial
Production units. Initial Operational Capability was achieved in FY 1998. A total of 24 units
are under contract to support installations in destroyers and frigates expected to be deployed
with the Navy’s Fifth Fleet operating forces.
Developer/Manufacturer: Boeing, Huntington Beach, California.
ULQ-20 BGPHES-ST
Battle Group Passive Horizon Extension System-Surface Terminal
Description: The Battle Group Passive Horizon Extension System-Surface Terminal

(AN/ULQ-20) extends the battle group’s line-of-sight sensor horizon and enhances joint
interoperability by controlling remote receivers in an aircraft’s sensor payload to relay
sensor data to the ship’s surface terminal via the Common High Bandwidth Data Link
(CHBDL). BGPHES is interoperable the Air Force’s U-2 reconnaissance aircraft and will
operate with all future airborne reconnaissance platforms that have a Common Data Link
(CDL).
Program Status: Installation of the first five production systems has been completed.
Developer/Manufacturer: Raytheon, Falls Church, Virginia.
UQQ-2 SURTASS/Twin-Line Array

Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System
Description: The SURTASS capability consists of a mobile fleet of eight ships that employ
the Fleet’s finest deep- and shallow-water (littoral zone) passive acoustic sonar systems.
These ships provide passive detection of quiet nuclear and diesel submarines and real-time
reporting of surveillance information to theater commanders. For passive sensors, they
employ either a long- line passive sonar acoustic array or a shorter twin-line passive sonar
acoustic array.
Twin-line is the only operational shallow-water towed array and the only multi-line towed
array in the Navy. It consists of a pair of arrays towed side-by-side from a SURTASS ship
and offers significant advantages for undersea surveillance operations in the littoral zone. It
can be towed in water as shallow as 180 feet, provides significant directional noise
rejection, offers bearing ambiguity solution without turning, allows the ship to tow at higher
speed, and results in a shorter time to steady out after a turn.
Program Status: The twin-line Engineering Development Model is currently installed on

the USNS Assertive (T-AGOS-9), and the first production model has been installed on the
USNS Bold (T- AGOS-12). Funding for six additional twin-line arrays is provided in the
FY 2000 FYDP.
Developer/Manufacturer: Johns Hopkins University/APL, Laurel, Maryland; IUSS

Operations Support Center, Norfolk, Virginia; and Raytheon, Fullerton, California.
UQQ-2 SURTASS/LFA/T-AGOS-23
Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System,
Low Frequency Active
Description: The LFA system, the active adjunct to the SURTASS sonar system, is capable
of making long-range detections of submarine and surface ship contacts. It consists of a low
frequency active sonar transmitter hung below a SURTASS ship and uses the SURTASS
passive towed array as the receiver. Other Navy ships with towed arrays and with the
SURTASS processing system can also process the LFA signal returns in what is known as a
“bi-static ” mode. As a mobile system, SURTASS/LFA can be employed as a force-
protection sensor wherever the force commander directs, including in forward operating
areas or in support of battle group activities. A UHF SATCOM communication system
provides direct voice and data connectivity between the SURTASS/LFA ship and tactical
platforms.
Only one LFA system exists, and it is installed on board the leased RV Cory Chouest. This
ship will be retired at some point after the USNS Impeccable (T-AGOS-23) becomes
operational in FY 2001. T-AGOS-23 is a Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull (SWATH) ship
that is much larger than the existing T-AGOS-19 class SURTASS SWATH ships and is thus
capable of carrying the additional weight of the LFA system. Development continues for
future LFA-type active systems employing smaller, lighter sources (e.g., Compact LFA) in
support of possible future deployment from existing surface platforms.
Program Status: LFA Engineering Development Model installed aboard RV Cory

Chouest. Impeccable (T-AGOS 23) will deliver in FY 2000 and becomes operational in FY
2001. LFA follow-on system development continues through the FY 2000 FYDP.
Developer/Manufacturer: Raytheon, Fullerton, California; Lockheed Sanders,

Manchester, New Hampshire; and Alpha Marine, Galliano, Louisiana.
