The ISIS program puts visual and digital imaging into submarine periscopes, providing all-weather, high-resolution imagery for Los Angeles, Seawolf, Ohio and Virginia Class submarines. The system makes use of existing components while providing an architecture that allows for future upgrades, according to a contract announcement by the Defense Department.

The Navy initially awarded Lockheed a $92.8 million contract for ISIS in 2009 and has modified it several times since. It replaced the optical system used in periscopes with one that uses high-res cameras and fiber-optic imagery to feed into a digital video display that can be shown on displays throughout the submarine, while giving operators the ability to enhance the image.
