ABN Mine Hunt System

Abstract

This project includes a sonar for mine detection, classification and identification. The Navy does not possess a capability to conduct minefield reconnaissance (mine density and location) at high area search rates. The AN/AQS-20A is being developed to address the emergent requirements for mine identification and to integrate AMCM systems with a MH-60S platform. The AN/AQS-20A will also be the mine hunting sonar component for the Remote Minehunting System (RMS). The AN/AQS-20A will be developed to meet the requirements of the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Mine Warfare Mission Module.
