Sea TENTACLE was designed to perform the following Warfare Areas that were derived from requirements given to the TSSE team:
•Littoral anti-submarine warfare as our primary mission area - with Mine Warfare as a subset of anti-submarine warfare
•Surface Warfare (focusing on Maritime Surveillance)
•Anti-air warfare

The anticipated threats and sensor/weapon pairings are shown in the matrix on the screen.  Pairings are distinguished by intended functionality (that is detection, soft-kill, and hard-kill)

The sensors and weapons will be covered in greater detail on later slides.
