The Sound Surveillance System (SOSUS) was developed by the U.S. Navy during the Cold War in order to detect Soviet submarines by using an extensive network of underwater microphones laid on the seabed in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.[2] It was renamed to Integrated Undersea Surveillance System (IUSS) in 1985 and declassified in 1991.[3]
