Mine Development
Abstract
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; (4) Test and Evaluation (T&E) to support aircraft certification; (5) Submarine Launch Moble Mine (SLMM). Increase from FY14 to FY15 of $15.0M is for Offensive Mining efforts. Funds will convert SLMM warheads into LDUUV delivered mines, and conduct an engineering and cost estimate study for a wide-area coverage moored torpedo mine.
