“The Navy needs to make the transition and be willing to do the same kind of operation they do with SOSUS today with a mobile system like Outpost in the future.”

Submarines provide a critical, asymmetric advantage in the undersea domain. Despite budget increases, shipbuilding and submarine construction are falling behind and facing cost overruns. There simply aren't enough submarines.
Like unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned undersea vehicles (UUVs) are increasingly employed in combat by smaller nations and groups. You can't react to this growing threat if you can't find it in a vast ocean environment.
ThayerMahan delivers scalable persistent unmanned acoustic surveillance. We identify the critical vulnerabilities of potential adversaries at a fraction of the cost.
We fill the surveillance gap with 'attritable' autonomous systems. And we can fill it now.
