In accordance with theJoint Electronics Type Designation System (JETDS), the "AN/WLD-1" designation represents the first design of an Army-Navyelectronic device for surface and underwater combined countermeasures surveillance system. The JETDS system also now is used to name allDepartment of Defense electronic systems.
In 2013, the system completed developmental testing, and was found to meet "reliability, suitability and effectiveness requirements".[3]
The system has been installed on theLittoral Combat Ship and theArleigh Burke-class destroyersUSSPinckney,USSMomsen, andUSSBainbridge.[4][5]
