Target Detection Modernization for Mines (Navy/USMC)
Abstract
This project evaluates a modern target detection device for application to existing Naval Mines. The device utilizes a multi-sensor suite (inertial, acoustic, photonic, and underwater electric) as well as sensor fusion to better detect, classify, and identify naval target vessels. This effort provides an affordable option to deliver improved performance of naval mines and replaces 20-year-old technology. If successful, the Navy's Mine Warfare Program Office (PMS 495) will transition the technology into the Quickstrike family of shallow-water, air delivered mines through an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) in collaboration with the Air Force.
