Sound Surveillance System is a chain of underwater listening posts across the northern Atlantic Ocean near Greenland, Iceland and the United Kingdom — the GIUK gap.
It was originally operated by the United States Navy for tracking Soviet submarines, which had to pass through the gap to attack targets further west.
Other locations in the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean also had SOSUS stations.
