The mission of T-AGS(X) states the ship must be capable of general-purpose oceanographic survey operations in coastal and deep ocean areas, including the following typical missions: Physical, chemical and biological oceanography, multi-discipline environmental investigations, ocean engineering and marine acoustics, coastal hydrographic survey, marine geology and geophysics, and bathymetric surveys. (Session II) T-ARC(X) Program Brief:� The T-ARC(X) Program brief is to inform industry of the program�s schedule, contract and technical requirements.� The Navy Cable Ship T-ARC(X) Program is a replacement program for the Navy�s only undersea cable installation and repair ship, USNS ZEUS (T-ARC 7). USNS ZEUS was commissioned and delivered to Military Sealift Command (MSC) in 1984 and has been the only active cable repairing ship in US Navy inventory since 1994. The ship�s mission is to transport, install, retrieve, and repair undersea cables and equipment, with a secondary mission of conducting acoustic, hydrographic, and bathymetric surveys. The new T-ARC(X) ship will be outfitted with modern cable handling equipment, including plows and ROVs. The ship will be equipped with a variety of hull mounted sonar systems to support both its primary and secondary missions.
