SWS Data Sheet (PDF format)

The Submarine Workstation (SWS) variant AN/UYQ-70 is an integrated equipment and software group, functionally replacing the OJ-172 (DEAC). The SWS is intended for use as the Data Processing Subsystem/Data Storage System (DPS/DSS) Workstation and Monitoring Subsystem (MS) Workstation on Trident Class Submarines (SSBN) and as the Data Storage System (DSS) for 688 Class Attack Submarines (SSN). The SWS configuration uses standard Q-70 modules and components built on a flexible commercial off-the-shelf (COTS)-based open system architecture and housed in an air-cooled enclosure. Connectivity is provided by multiple topologies, including MIL-STD 1397 Naval Tactical Data Standard (NTDS) interface. Upgrading the connectivity is only a matter of changing the interface card, cable, and aoftware driver. The console is equipped with the Q-70 standard suite of operating, development, and maintenance software.
