Mine Development

Abstract

This program element provides resources to develop naval mine systems used to establish and maintain control of essential sea areas. Naval mines are used to deny sea area or inflict damage on adversary shipping to hinder, disrupt, and deny adversary operations. Naval mining is employed to reduce the adversary's threat to friendly forces and preserve access. Mining complements and comprises an essential part of other warfare areas; particularly strike, anti-submarine, and anti-surface warfare. Resources are for developing and deploying improvements to target detection of modern threat vessels, reconfiguring and improving existing mine hardware for delivery from safe standoff distances, including integration with unmanned systems, adding a capability for networked command and control of deployed minefields, updating minefield planning tools to enable required operational timelines, and developing a wide area of coverage mine system capable of operating in intermediate and deep water depths. Core capabilities enabled include forward presence, deterrence, sea control, power projection, and maritime security to maintain freedom of the seas.
