Description: The General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems' AN/SSX-1 is an electronic warfare system that supports a variety of missions including maritime interdiction operations against weapon, chemical and drug smuggling. The AN/SSX-1 collects precision electronic parametric data and correlates it to specific transmissions from ships and aircraft searching for potential matches. It was designed for the US Navy's Surface Electronic Warfare Improvement Program (SEWIP) which is an upgrade to the AN/SLQ-32 electronic warfare anti-ship missile defense system.

The AN/SSX-1 program original contract was issued by the Navy's Naval Sea Systems Command in support of SEWIP and was valued at $3.2 million. It included the delivery of ten systems from March through June 2006. The AN/SSX-1 may be used by the US Navy and US Coast Guard for homeland defense missions such as maritime interdiction.
