MINE TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

This activity assesses advanced sea mine technologies to maintain expertise in this Naval Warfare area. An acoustic sensing capability for the naval mine Target Detection Device (TDD) is being addressed. Future mine and minefield concepts are being addressed. FY 2011 to FY 2012 funding increase is due to added effort associated with Target Detection Devices. FY 2012 to FY 2013 funding increase responds to priority naval requirements for new and innovative offensive mining concepts. New investments will address clandestine delivery of mobile mines via unmanned underwater vehicles, remote command and control of autonomous minefields, and distributed sensor technologies to enable fire control solutions for mobile mines.
