Which activity is part of SUW responsibilities?

• A. Upload imagery to Drop Box
• B. Send TACREP I reports for surface vessels and correlate with TACREP E reports from EWOs
• C. Maintain logs of target deck (eyes on/off, EEIs)
• D. Record OFFSTA time, ETA to RTB, and fuel state

Answer: (B)

In SUW, maintaining a fused, timely picture of surface contacts hinges on integrating reports from all relevant sources. Sending TACREP I reports for surface vessels and correlating them with TACREP E reports from EWOs brings together the official surface contact data with the electronic warfare picture. This cross-connection ensures a coherent, up-to-date understanding of where vessels are, how they’re moving, and what electronic or radar environments they’re operating in. It reduces discrepancies, confirms contact status, and supports rapid decision-making for engagement, routing, and risk assessment.

Other activities don’t directly drive that shared situational awareness. Uploading imagery to a shared drop box is more about data storage and post-collection work rather than real-time fusion of surface and electromagnetic information. Keeping logs of the target deck is valuable for tracking and targeting history but is more of an ISR/collection task than the immediate fusion activity SUW relies on for operations. Recording OFFSTA time, ETAs to RTB, and fuel state are logistics-focused details that don’t contribute to the ongoing, integrated picture of surface threats and capabilities that SUW performance rests on.
