Mine Development
Abstract
The Mines Improvement Program Element (PE) 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 performs an essential part of other warfare areas; particularly strike, anti-submarine, and anti-surface warfare. Resources are utilized for developing and deploying improvements to the portfolio of naval mines. Different lines of effort are focused on specific aspects of the mission sequence, to enable offensive, defensive, and protective maritime mining across all water depths and phases of conflict. Major lines of effort include: 1) Adapting existing mine hardware for delivery from safe standoff distances, including integration with airborne and undersea unmanned systems 2) Adding command and control of deployed minefields 3) Improving target detection against modern threat vessels 4) Updating minefield planning tools to enable required operational timelines Increased FY 2021 funding supports two major efforts: Quickstrike - Extended Range (ER) and Hammerhead. Funding is provided for the development and test articles for Quickstrike - Extended Range (ER). The Quickstrike ER program will transition technology developed and successfully demonstrated under a Joint Capability Demonstration (JCTD) project and supports a Joint Emergent Operational Needs Statement (JEONS). The extended range accessory is a wing kit, in addition to a GPS-guided tail section, which enables precise, standoff delivery of mines from safe distances. Funding will support aircraft flight clearance and safety qualification. Increased funding also supports the new development of the Hammerhead mine, which complements existing shallow-water mines by operating in deeper water depths and providing a wide area of coverage per unit. Core capabilities enabled by these efforts include: forward presence, deterrence, sea control, power projection, and maritime security to maintain freedom of the seas.
