Airborne Mine Countermeasures (AMCM)

Abstract

(U) A. MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: The Airborne Mine Countermeasures (AMCM) programs will deploy to the fleet as sensors integrated into the MH-53E and MH-60S platforms in order to provide Mine-Like Object Detection/classification/localization, Mine Identification, mine reacquisition and neutralization, and influence clearance capabilities. The "Next Generation" AMCM systems will provide this set of capabilities to the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Mine Warfare Mission Module. This capability will be of critical importance in littoral zones, confined straits, choke points, and the Amphibious Objective Area (AOA). Some interest in the following areas has been expressed: search and rescue; surface fire support; ASW operations; protection/offense against small craft/vehicles; air to air operations; very shallow water MCM; swimmer defense and torpedo defense. Surface Navy Inegrated Undersea Tactical Technology (SNIUTT) will be used to develop an AN/SQQ-32, AN/AQS-14, AN/AQS-24 and AN/AQS-20A sensor training modules and future Organic Airborne Mine Countermeasures (OAMCM) Sensor Training Modules.
