Barracuda
Abstract
Barracuda is an expendable mine neutralizer that provides the only unmanned mine neutralization capability to address previously detected near surface mines. These capabilities provide positive identification and recognition of the sea mine threat, reduced mine neutralization mission timelines, and reduced cost to neutralize a mine relative to existing systems. Initial Barracuda deployment will be on the Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) as a part of the Mine Countermeasures (MCM) Mission Package (MP). Subsequent plans are to expand potential means of providing in-stride MCM capabilities. Barracuda may be hosted by a Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), Expeditionary Mobile Base (ESB), or shore facility. Barracuda baseline capability is derived from the single sortie detect to engage (SS-DTE) Future Naval Capabilities (FNC) effort. Barracuda addresses unmet requirements in near surface neutralization created the cancellation of the RAMICS program in FY13.
