Port Defense / Mine Counter Measures (MCM)

Abstract

The Port Defense / Mine Counter Measures (MCM) program will explore novel technologies and concepts of operations to mature a capability to protect U.S. waterways, thus enabling unencumbered naval operations. The program will conduct research and development for expendable unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) that will be used to support MCM payloads. This will allow for a paradigm shift in mine clearance efforts away from human-intensive and time-intensive approaches, towards rapid and autonomous sweeping by a large number of UUVs.
