SMCM UUV
Abstract
As part of the UUV Family of Systems (FoS) and in support of the Mine Countermeasures (MCM) Mission Package (MP), the Knifefish Surface Mine Countermeasures Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (SMCM UUV) program develops advanced medium class UUVs to support clandestine mine detection capability against volume, bottom, and buried mines. Equipment includes vehicles and associated systems support equipment. The program has achieved Milestone C and entered into Low-Rate Initial Production (LRIP). Currently Block Upgrade design efforts aligned to Fleet needs are ongoing to support insertion of incremental capability when the technology is ready. Planned Block Upgrade candidates being considered include increased detection range capability, communications upgrades, on-board sonar processing and target recognition, command and control improvements, increased operational depth, and other smaller tasks, as well as potential future payloads as required.
