Mine Development
Abstract
(U) A. MISSION DESCRIPTION AND BUDGET ITEM JUSTIFICATION: This project is the only R&D program for mine systems, and is the sole support for the capability to maintain the effectiveness of mines facing new threat targets and increasing emphasis on major regional conflicts and littoral warfare in shallow water. Project tasks are grouped into several areas: (1) Threat Modeling/Analysis, which collects, analyzes, and develops digital models of data on current priority threat target characteristics to support computer simulations; (2) Target Detection and Response, which uses target models to develop optimal mine designs, settings, and firing algorithms; and (3) Developing and upgrading Tactical Decision Aids (TDAs) to assist the warfighter in planning and placing more effective minefields. Data Recorders: Mine data recorders record mine target detection and mine fire data during in-water reliability testing. Current recorders are no longer supportable and cannot be used with the Quickstrike Mod 3. New recorders will work with the programmable Target Detecting Device MK 71 used in the Mod 3. They will support in-water testing of all in-service Quickstrike Mods (0, 1, and 3). Remote Control (RECO): Provide on-way Remote Control of Quickstrike Mine MK 65. Commands will be Arm, Sterilize and Self Destruct. RECO mines can be planted before a conflict begins and armed if required. Sterilize or self destruct commands will neutralize the minefield as soon as hostilities are over. Work includes development of transmitters to communicate with the mines.
