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.
