Small and Medium Unmanned Undersea Vehicles
Abstract
Part of the mine countermeasure systems mission is to provide minehunting capabilities to counter known and projected mine threats in support of minehunting operations worldwide, including intelligence and oceanographic capabilities that will enable mine warfare superiority. The Knifefish Surface Mine Countermeasure Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (SMCM UUV) is part of the UUV Family of Systems and is part of the MCM Mission Package (MP). In order to accelerate future capability and support steady growth of the fleet's UUV FoS the Knifefish SMCM UUV program develops advanced Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (UUVs) to support clandestine mine detection capability against volume, bottom, and buried mines. Equipment includes vehicles and associated systems support equipment. In parallel, Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) design efforts are ongoing to support insertion of incremental capability when the technology is ready. Planned P3I candidates being considered include increased detection range capability, communications upgrades, on-board sonar processing and target recognition, command and control improvements, and other smaller tasks, as well as future payloads as required.
