(U)Remote Minehunting System (RMS)
Abstract
The AN/WLD-1(V)2 Remote Minehunting System (RMS) is a mine reconnaissance system designed for the detection, classification, identification, and localization of bottom and moored mines in shallow and deep water. This budget line supports the Remote Multi-Mission Vehicle (RMMV). The RMS will provide the Navy the capability to keep ships and sailors out of the minefield. The RMS is deployed from the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) as part of the ships' Mine Countermeasure (MCM) Mission Package (MP). The RMS is a fully integrated system consisting of a semi-submersible RMMV towing a variable depth sensor, the AN/AQS-20A. The RMMV is a high-endurance, semi-autonomous, low-observable, unmanned, diesel-powered vehicle, operated and maintained from the LCS. Line-of-sight (LOS) and over-the-horizon (OTH) data links provide real time vehicle command and control and mine reconnaissance sensor data transmission to/from LCS. The first RMMV Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) units (LRIP 1) were used during the RMMV Reliability Growth Program (RGP) v4.2 configuration and are being upgraded to the version 6.0 (v6.0) configuration to support LCS integration. This is not a new start. Acquisition Category (ACAT) 1D Transparency requirement realigned program funding from Project Element 0603502N/Project Unit 0260 beginning in FY15.
