Mine Development
Abstract
Mine development R&D supports 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;(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) Design, develop and test the Clandestine Delivered Mine (CDM) capability; a conversion kit to convert legacy mine warheads into Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) delivered mines. Beginning in FY16, integration of the second increment with the TDD Mk 71 and the addition of a remote command and control capability will provide improved performance and efficiencies of the system. Additional funds in FY17 will support the Joint Operational Need Statement (JEONS) to improve aerial delivery by converting a Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) equipped bomb into a Quickstrike JDAM mine. Development of a new mining capability, to encapsulate a wide area of coverage weapon, such as a torpedo, to achieve mine warfare operational objectives will begin in FY18. The Encapsulated Effector program will be the transition path for multiple ongoing science and technology projects to allow for off-board sensing of targets, remote control of mines, and reduced number of warheads needed to achieve the intended effect.
