Remote Minehunting Systems
Abstract
The AN/WLD-1(V)2 Remote Minehunting System (RMS) is a mine reconnaissance system designed for the detection, classification, identification, and localization of bottom and moored mines in shallow and deep water. This budget line supports the Remote Multi-Mission Vehicle (RMMV). The RMS will provide the Navy the capability to keep ships and sailors out of the minefield. The RMS is deployed from the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) as part of the ships' Mine Countermeasure (MCM) Mission Package (MP). The RMS is a fully integrated system consisting of a semi-submersible RMMV towing a variable depth sensor, the AN/AQS-20A. The RMMV is a high-endurance, semi-autonomous, low-observable, unmanned, diesel-powered vehicle, operated and maintained from the LCS. Line-of-sight (LOS) and over-the-horizon (OTH) data links provide real time vehicle command and control and mine reconnaissance sensor data transmission to/from LCS. The RMMV Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP 1) will continue upgrades to version 6.0 (v6.0) configuration in FY15 and FY16. In FY15 a RMMV LRIP 1 integration/maintenance contract will be awarded a RMMV Competitive Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP 2) contract will be awarded to procure the next LRIPs in FY16. The Initial Operational Capability (IOC) has shifted to 2nd quarter FY16 to align with the LCS MCM MP IOC and will use LRIP 1 units.
