Sea Change
Abstract
Sea Change is a portfolio of disruptive approaches to critical operational challenges in the maritime domain. The goal of the Sea Change program is to develop integrated system technologies that offer fundamentally new capabilities to address long-standing operational limitations of naval forces. Sea Change focus areas include platform concepts to increase operational capability and efficiency of maritime systems and development of standoff technologies for rapid defeat of anti-access mines through a hydroacoustic anti-mine array. The hydroacoustic anti-mine array effort will explore the technical feasibility of a novel mine clearance approach using coordinated high energy density acoustic sources to deliver standoff clearance of mines throughout the water column and on the ocean bottom. By eliminating all explosive neutralizers and maintaining effectiveness with uncertain mine identification and location, the hydroacoustic anti-mine array concept has the potential to achieve dramatic reductions in area mine clearance timelines.
