The U.S. Navy has stood up
an aggressor squadron to train its
submariners, as well as anti-submarine forces, about what to expect from their
potential opposing counterparts, especially those in Russia and China, and help
explore new tactics, techniques, and procedures to counter those threats. One
of its focus areas is already on how electronic warfare impacts submarine
warfare operations.
The unit, abbreviated
AGGRON, is part of the Navy's Undersea Warfighting Development Center (UWDC).
It has elements at both the UWDC's headquarters at Naval Submarine Base New
London in Groton, Connecticut and at the Point Loma Annex in San Diego,
California. The Navy formally established the squadron between the Spring and
Summer of 2019, according to issues of Undersea Warfare magazine, the official publication
of the Submarine Force. The service had first publicly announced its plans to
create AGGRON in 2018 as we reported on at the time.
