The goal of the Cumming campus is to eventually offer a range of programs. When two or more arrays held a contact, triangulation provided approximate positions for air or surface assets to localize. The universitys main campus spans over 5,500 acres (22 km 2 ), and includes the George H.W. The closure at St. Mawgan will mark the end of the Navy’s presence in England, where sailors have been stationed since World War II. [29] The satellite communications ship Kingsport joined the project in 1967 for acoustic and bathymetric work.

The command's role has been to provide anti-submarine warfare and ocean borne acoustic information to tactical platforms and shore-based facilities, providing a link between U.S. and U.K. maritime forces and their headquarters. Experienced operators that could detect subtle differences and with practice could detect faint signatures of targets were vital to detection. In 1954, the order was increased by three more Atlantic stations and an extension into the Pacific, with six stations on the West Coast and one in Hawaii. [3], SOSUS systems consisted of bottom-mounted hydrophone arrays connected by underwater cables to facilities ashore. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the Scripps Institution of Oceanography were also tasked to develop an understanding of long-range sound transmission under Project Michael. Some did so and remained in the system as civil service or contractor personnel. This, and later specialized, sonobuoys equipped with a small explosive charge could be used in an active mode to detect the echo off the target. Members from both the U.S. and U.K. services who will remain at JMF are currently making arrangements for JMF's final community relations activity, the annual Royal Cornwall Show in June. Those were followed by remoting Hawaii's Barber's Point in 1985, the Pacific Northwest arrays at Pacific Beach and Coos Head in 1987, and Bermuda in the Atlantic in 1992. Joint Maritime Facility.

The cover explained that data gathered by oceanographic and acoustic surveys with ships could at times be collected "more expeditiously and more economically by means of shore stations. Mission seen by the information displayed on the walls. An alert to Atlantic Fleet, Strategic Air Command (SAC) and the Pentagon came from "underwater listening devices at several secret Navy installations" that two Yankee class nuclear-armed submarines had left their usual patrol areas 1,200 miles out in the Atlantic and were getting dangerously close. [1][8], The system was considered a strategic, not tactical, system at the time and part of continental defense.

[1] The system could provide cuing information on the presence of the submarines and an approximate location for air or surface antisubmarine warfare assets to localize the target. When that submarine put into Adak for a medical emergency the detection events were matched to the submarine's logs ending the disbelief the "Soviet" contact was actually a U.S. [9][note 4], The hardware technology was largely that of the commercial telephone system and oil exploration.

The Joint Maritime Facility, St. Mawgan, was one of seven Navy installations under Navy Region Europe, Africa, Southwest Asia (EURAFSWA), and was the last remaining U.S. installation in the U.K. [note 1]. The surveillance aspect continues with new systems under Commander, Undersea Surveillance. Advanced technology and cost-efficiency measures for both the U.S. Navy and U.K. Ministry of Defense have prompted the relocation of JMF's Integrated Undersea Surveillance Systems (IUSS) operations to work remotely from the Naval Ocean Processing Facility in Dam Neck. In 1973 such contacts were again almost published, but were stopped only when information was identified by a visiting civilian expert who recognized the acoustic signatures as that of a U.S. submarine.

The program detects, tracks and reports information on submarines and oceanographic and geological occurrences and includes two other sites at Dam Neck, Va., and Whidbey Island, Wash. The combination of location within the ocean and the sensitivity of arrays allowed the system to detect acoustic power of less than a single watt at ranges of several hundred kilometres.
