I worked on a project under TACTAS. It was a project attached to a Surface towed array system like SURTASS LFA, but it was only passive.

They added the ability to have a "dipping sonar", but that was only a passive system.

This was at the time SDI or STAR WARS was bounced about...

Fast forward about 30 years and you have SURTASS and other systems...

I’ve heard of TACTAS a long time ago. I got started with the SURTASS program in ‘84.
