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. The AQS-20A P3I program will focus on upgrading the Forward Looking, Volume Search, and Side-Look sonars to improve Probability Of Classifying a Minelike object as a Mine, False Classification, and Depth Localization performance. The Forward Looking Sonar will be replaced with a new High Frequency Wideband based design. The Volume Search sonar will be upgraded to improve signal processing. The Side Looking Sonar will be upgraded to improve signal processing and Signal to Noise Ratio. The program began in FY11 and will complete in FY17.
