Mine Countermeasures: A Comparative Analysis of US Navy Mine Countermeasures 1999 vs. 2020

Abstract

The intent of this project is to complete a comparative analysis of current US Navy Mine Countermeasures capabilities versus projected capabilities in 2020. Following a historical background, this paper will review the current force structure, its capabilities and how this force operates. It will describe proposed changes to the force and alternative concepts of operation for the 2020 timeframe. Additionally, it will relate the impact of future mine countermeasures capabilities to the ability of naval forces to conduct operational maneuver from the sea and the impact to strategic sealift timelines.
