Remote Mine Hunting System (RMS) Independent Review Team (IRT) Implementation Plan

• Based on TECHEVAL performance, LCS MCM MP IOC was delayed and an RMS IRT established. Current way ahead includes: – Near-term employment of MCM MP to gain Fleet

experience. – Airborne Laser Mine Detection System (ALMDS) and

Airborne Mine Neutralization System (AMNS) will achieve Initial Operational Capability (IOC) 1QFY17.

– Common Unmanned Surface Vehicle (CUSV) will be the tow vehicle for the mine hunting sonar.

– RMMV will be used to continue AN/AQS-20 test, data collection, and support user evaluation.


Objective: LCS MCM MP fielded with Fleet capability/capacity to support legacy system sundown

XLUUV & Sea Hunter Extra Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicle


Multiple Unmanned Systems for MCM Single Sortie Detect-To-Engage

Unmanned Surface Vehicle Vision

• The Office of Naval Research is leading a Single Sortie Detect-To-Engage (SS-DTE) project to greatly reduce MCM timelines

• PMS 406 and PMS 495 will transition technologies from the SS-DTE project to enable a single pass MCM capability

• A technology transition agreement has been signed enabling the ability to selectively transition technologies from ONR to the various programs of record


LCS Mission Modules Technology Interest Area

• Autonomy – In the absence of communications, the ability to stay on mission or

recover to a safe point and seamlessly integrate with a common communications architecture

– Obstacle Avoidance, both surface and submerged • Efficient Off-board Vehicle Management

– Ability to coordinate and monitor multiple off-board systems with minimal manning

– Common control architecture/systems • Over the horizon high bandwidth vehicle/sensor data transfer • Mine Countermeasures (MCM) Specific

– Detect to ID in single pass; low cost ID and neutralization – Automated Target Recognition. Rejection of false (non-mine) sonar

calls – Highly accurate navigation (LAT/LONG/Depth)

• Ability to place towed/fixed sensors to support reacquisition of underwater targets
