Remote Minehunting Systems

Abstract

The AN/WLD-1(V)(1), Remote Minehunting System (RMS), consists of a diesel powered semi-submersible Remote Multi-Mission Vehicle (RMMV) that tows a Variable Depth Sensor (VDS, AN/AQS-20A). It also includes shipboard equipment consisting of a command control combat system, launch and recovery system, radio antennas and support equipment. RMS can operate from the DDG-51 Class Flight IIA ships (DDG-91-96) and Littoral Combat Ships (LCS). The system determines the presence or absence of mines to an acceptable level of confidence to enable ships to operate in or avoid specific areas. Future funding will be used to begin development of emerging technologies for incorporation into the AN/WLD-1(V)(1) Remote Minehunting System and Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Reconfigurable Mission Capabilities (Multi-Mission - MM).
