IUSS - Integrated Undersea Surveillance System - (USA/N.A.T.O.)

A network of fixed, mobile and deployable acoustic  arrays providing the US Navy and allied forces (In theory) with advanced detection of Underwater threats. Recent developments in technology have led to quieter submarine, making conventional SOSUS detection difficult. Using faster processors and improved software, IUSS stations are manned by specially qualified US Navy personnel.
