Apparently they're crowd-sourcing designing tactics for tracking submarines. Basically, you pilot one of the sub-tracking vehicles and try to track subs. You can upload your actions after completing each level in order to help the US military develop better submarine tracking tactics (or, as is likely in my case, show them what not to do).

Graphics don't look like much (though certainly serviceable) but I would expect the realism to be quite high.

They even have a leaderboard!
