Naval Mine Countermeasures Unmanned Surface Vehicle
New Systems
Objective
To develop a remote controlled/autonomous Naval Mine Countermeasures Unmanned Surface Vehicle (NMCM USV) capability to reduce the risk to ships, submarines and personnel from the threat of sea mines. The NMCM USV will search for, detect, classify, identify, and dispose of modern sea mines and Underwater Improvised Explosive Devices (UIEDs) from a stand-off surface platform.
Requirements
The NMCM USV capability will be delivered in the form of a modular system that can be operated from any suitable seagoing platform or from a shore facility. The NMCM USV will be a combat system intended for operation in a sea mine threat area and will be fully capable of operating in littoral waters, with expected air/water temperatures and salinity ranging from polar (ice free) through temperate to equatorial latitudes to depths from 10 to 200 meters
