He adds that the agency along with the US Navy is attempting to develop the capability for the assessment of trends, or anomalies in the travel patterns of merchant vessels and the cargoes they carry by modernizing Sound Surveillance system that was central to the Navy's sub tracking successes during the Cold War.
