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. 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 Remote Multi-Mission Vehicle (RMMV) towing a variable depth sensor, the AN/AQS-20A. This budget line supports the RMMV. 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. In FY 2016 two vehicles are being upgraded to the version 6.0 (v6.0) configuration to support LCS integration. The RMS program is currently under evaluation with the Department's Independent Review Team (IRT). FY 2017 budget focuses on studies and analysis to support RMS IRT recommendations.
