New Underwater Effectiveness: The SAMDIS Solution
2017-06-18 By Robbin Laird and Norman Polmar
Undersea warfare is becoming more complex as an increasing number of nations are operating submarines, advanced submarines and seafloor mines are being proliferated, and there are an increasing number of seafloor military and commercial activities world wide.
Thus, there are increasing demands for navies to have enhanced capabilities to carry out surveillance to support anti-submarine warfare, mine countermeasures, general surveillance, and “special missions” in the depths.

This situation must be met by advanced, flexible, and highly capable sensor platforms.
