ABN Mine Hunt System
Abstract
This project contains resources for systems, subsystems, and sensors for mine detection, classification, localization, identification, neutralization, and influence clearance capabilities. Research, development, test, and evaluation efforts are for increasing critical capacity, decreasing time required to conduct MCM operations, ensuring low risk to naval and commercial vessels, and removing the man from the minefield. Increased capability includes conducting minefield reconnaissance (mine density and location) at high area search rates, improving detection capability, decreasing sensor false alarm rates, reducing or eliminating post-mission analysis detect, classify, identify, decide time, improving neutralization time, improving network communications, automatic target recognition, anch achieving in-stride detect-to-engage capability. The AN/AQS-20A is being developed to address the emergent requirements for mine identification and to integrate with the Littorial Combat Ship (LCS) Mine Countermeasures (MCM) Misison Module. The AN/AQS-20A will be the mine hunting sonar component for the Remote Minehunting System (RMS). The AN/AQS-20A Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) program upgrades the Forward Looking and Side-Looking sonars to improve Probability of Classifying a Mine-like object as a Mine, False Classification Rates, and Depth Localization performance. The Forward Looking Sonar will be replaced with a new High Frequency Wideband based design. The Side Looking Sonar will be replaced to improve signal processing and Signal to Noise Ratio. The P3I program began in FY12 and will complete in FY15. The AN/AQS-24 Volume Search upgrade will be developed, tested, and integrated for use with multiple platforms including the MH-53E Helicopter.
