Submarin NVAK: in the United States, the Cold War's underwater espionage program was restored

The Chinese military is actively working to create the so -called large underwater wall. In this regard, the US Navy has decided to launch the IUSS program to comprehensively track the sea floor and identify Chinese submarines. In response to the development of the Navy of the People's Liberation Army of China (NVAK) and its large underwater wall, the United States revised one of its underwater espionage programs of the Cold War.

Within this program, the US Navy launched a modernized integrated underwater surveillance system (Iuss). This was reported on September 26 by Zona Militar. The material states that the IUSS program covers the use of underwater acoustic networks, observation ships and new technologies, such as submarine and portable sensors. Until recently, the program was mostly studied by the sounds of marine inhabitants and noises, which give out icy coverings as the planet warms.

However, in recent months, the focus of environmental tasks has shifted to the detection of submarines. The underwater espionage program in the United States was started in the 1950s from the submarine detection system known as Sound Surveillance System. The name changed in 1985, when stationary wires were supplemented with technology known as Surveillance Towed Array Sensor System (Surtass).

Meanwhile, the existence of this program became known only in 1991, when the USSR broke up and the Cold War ended. The program is restored at a time when China has intensified military exercises in the Taiwan area, which is concerned about a possible conflict on the island against Beijing's claims. Due to the intensification of China's military presence in the Pacific, the NVAK develops its own marine espionage program, known as Great Undersea Wall (Great Underwater Wall).

This system, the construction of which is already underway, consists of cables, equipped with water-listening sensors, laid along the seabed in the South China Sea. Part of this system is also the surplus ships, which will have to track in real time, the surplus and pitfalls of a potential enemy. The Chinese side claims that the project can seriously eliminate the superiority of American and Russian submarines and strengthen China's control in the South Chinese Sea.

"To solve this problem, the US Navy plans to deploy a fleet of unmanned seawas for listening to enemy vessels and to place portable sensors in the form of" underwater satellites "for the detection of submarines on the seafare," the observers summed up. Earlier it was reported that tensions are increasing between China and the Philippines.
