OASIS

Abstract

The Organic Airborne and Surface Influence Sweep (OASIS) system is a towed Minesweeping System to be deployed from specially configured MH-60S helicopters. The system provides a rapid response sweeping capability against bottom and moored, buried, acoustic and magnetic, or combination acoustic/magnetic influence mines in support of mine clearance operations where mine hunting is ineffective. The system consists of a towed body, sweep cable system, power inverter, power distribution unit and storage/shipping containers. System interfaces with the MH-60S helicopter via the carriage, stream, tow and recovery system and the common console. The program is currently in the SD&D phase where three Engineering Development Models (EDMs) are being developed for test and evaluation. Areas of interest for program enhancement include but are not limited to the following: A) Real-time Mission Planning B) Threat Emulation Jamming C) Improved Power Inverter D) Light weight winch drive-train E) Improved magnetic performance.
