Surface & Shallow Water MCM
Abstract
This program element provides resources for development of mine countermeasure systems to provide minehunting, minesweeping, and neutralization to counter known and projected mine threats. The mine countermeasures systems provide mobile, quick reaction forces capable of land or sea-based minehunting and minesweeping operations worldwide. Resources are for developing and deploying advanced mine-hunting and minesweeping systems and the intelligence and oceanographic capabilities that will enable mine warfare superiority. Tactics and techniques used vary across a diversity of environments and a diversity of threats, including both asymmetric and emerging. Resources provide for systems and support of mine warfare systems, maritime systems, and expeditionary systems to allow for continuous operations of the Navy's warships and support vessels, other military vessels, and commercial vessels. Core capabilities include forward presence, deterrence, sea control, power projection, maritime security, humanitarian assistance and disaster response to maintain freedom of the seas. 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, and achieving in-stride detect-to-engage capability. Concept of operations includes development of cooperative, unmanned, modular systems; the establishment of a capable networked command and control systems; and standing up an accurate and interactive environmental system with the ability to form and disseminate a Common Environmental Picture. Efforts benefit the MCM force by transforming the Navy from the platform-centered legacy set of systems to a capability-centered force that is distributed, networked, and able to provide unique maritime influence and access across the entire maritime domain. The Surface Mine Countermeasures (SMCM) programs are platform independent and will provide detection, classification, localization, identification, neutralization, and influence clearance capabilities. Programs develop: (1) remote minehunting capability for surface platforms; (2) the integration and improvement of new and existing systems (3) support for systems which detect, localize, classify, identify, and neutralize all mine types across Mine Countermeasure (MCM) Avenger Class and other platforms; (4) systems for neutralizing mines and light obstacles through the entire water column to include shallow water, very shallow water, surf zones, and beach landing craft zones in support of operations; (5) the integration of Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (UUVs) to meet Undersea Surveillance capabilities as well as other prioritized and enduring capabilities, requirements and gaps and (6) integrate hardware for experimental testing related to surface ship, aircraft, and other cross platform applications.
