An account is given of the system architecture and operational protocols of the NATO Seasparrow Surface Missile System (NSSMS) Operational Computer Program (OCP) which has been developed, and is being deployed multinationally, to respond against antiship missiles. Flowcharts are presented for the target detection and tracking, control, and engagement phases of the Self Defense Surface Missile System that is controlled by the OCP. USN and other NATO vessels will carry the NSSMS well into the next century; the OCP presently described will be deployed in the course of 1992 to enhance the self-defense capabilities of the NSSMS-equipped fleet. 8 refs.
