Surface & Shallow Water MCM

Abstract

The program provides for developments to combat the threat of known and projected foreign mines against U.S. Naval and merchant shipping in harbors, channels, choke points, sea lines of communications and amphibious and other fleet operating areas. It develops: (1) organic remote minehunting capability for surface platforms; (2) the integration and improvement of systems and support for systems which will detect, localize, classify, and neutralize moored, bottom, and close-tethered mines for use in Mine Countermeasure (MCM) MCM-1 Class and other surface ships; (3) systems for neutralizing mines and light obstacles from shallow water, very shallow water, surf zones, and beach landing craft zones in support of amphibious operations; (4) the integration of Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (UUVs) to provide undersea surveillance capability. JUSTIFICATION FOR BUDGET ACTIVITY: This program is funded under DEMONSTRATION AND VALIDATION because it develops and integrates hardware for experimental testing related to specific ship or aircraft applications.

Change Summary Explanation
Program Adjustments: FY12 -$14,900 in Congressional Reductions for Program Execution (-$8,900) and UUV program delay (-$6,000). FY13 $40,590K in Total Program Adjustments for Mine Neutralization System (MNS)($7,600K), MEDAL EA/Improved Interoperability ($2,000K), Persistent Littoral Undersea Surveillance (PLUS) ($22,000K), Assault Breaching System (ABS) funding ($3,000K), LDUUV Realignment ($7,000K), Speed to Fleet R&D Initiatives ($8,000), Mine Neutralization Replacement (-$4,000) and Under Execution of R&D Programs (-4,188K). Miscellaneous Adjustments: FY13 -$822K in total adjustments. FY12 Congressional reduction for Program Execution ($8.9M) is shown as a reduction to project 0260, Remote Minehunting System. After further review of the Congressional action, the Navy has determined that Congressional intent was to apply the reduction to project 1233, Surface MCM Mid-life Upgrade (-$3.045M) and project 2131, Assault Breathing System (-$5.855M). The Navy will make this adjustment during FY12 execution and the change will be reflected in future budget submissions.
