Surface MCM Mid-life Upgrade
Abstract
This project provides resources for development, improvement and integration of MCM systems. A description of the major planned programs include the following: 1) AN/SQQ-32(V)4 High-Frequency, Wide Band (HFWB) is a technology upgrade to the AN/SQQ-32 Towed Body which will incorporate HFWB technology into the detection sonar to address performance deficiencies against new mine threats in the littorals. This upgrade will be installed on MCM-1 Class ships with the AN/SQQ-32(V)3 and will develop new transducer modules, fiber optic cable and modify topside processing and display software. 2) Mine Warfare and Environmental Decision Aids Library (MEDAL) is a software segment on the Global Command and Control System - Maritime (GCCS-M). MEDAL provides mine and mine warfare planning and evaluation tools and databases to the MCM Commander. 3) Develop and implement Mine Countermeasures Commander's Estimate of the Situation (MCM CES). 4) Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) Flight 1 includes the Unmanned Surface Sweep System (US3,)a magnetic/acoustic sweep system developed to sweep acoustic/magnetic influence mines, that when integrated with an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) becomes the Unmanned Influence Sweep System (UISS) deployed from the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS); 5) Multi-Function USV Flight 2 integrates a minehunting sensor with the UISS vehicle. The added capability allows a common USV to conduct minehunting and minesweeping missions. 6) AN?SLQ-60 Mine Neutralization System (MNS) Seafox on the MCM Class ships. MNS is the replacement to the existing AN/SLQ-48 Mine Neutralization System. 7) SSQ-94 MCM Trainer upgrade will incorporate the AN/SQQ-32 (V)8 sonar, SSN2(V)5 PINS and Mine Neutralization System Team Trainer.
