Mine Development

Abstract

FY 2023 reflects a net increase of $20.035 million. Funding adjustments are associated with Quickstrike-ER beginning flight certification testing and C-ENCAP new explosive section development effort as reflected in Project 0267 and funding associated with Encapsulated Effector (Hammerhead) critical design and prototype articles as reflected in Project 2993. The Mines Improvement 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) Development of maritime mines to enable 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
