Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV)
Abstract
This project provides resources for development, improvement and integration of Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) Mine Countermeasure systems. A description of the major planned programs include the following: 1)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) 2)Multi-Function USV Flight 2 integrates minehunting sensor(s) with the UISS vehicle. The added capability allows a common USV to conduct mine hunting and mine sweeping missions. 3) USV Mine Hunting Units (MHUs) include USVs towing AN/AQS-24A mine hunting sonars and associated support equipment, including a command and control center that will be deployed from vessels of opportunity. MHUs are in response to an Urgent Operational Need (UON) from Naval Forces Central Command.
