SMCM UUV

Abstract

As part of the UUV FOS and in support of the MCM MP, the Knifefish Surface Mine Countermeasure Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (SMCM UUV) program develops advanced Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (UUVs) to support clandestine mine detection capability against volume, bottom, and buried mines. Equipment includes vehicles and associated systems support equipment. In parallel, Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) design efforts are ongoing to support insertion of incremental capability when the technology is ready. Planned P3I candidates being considered include increased detection range capability, communications upgrades, on-board sonar processing and target recognition, command and control improvements, and other smaller tasks, as well as potential future payloads as required.
