Remote Minehunting System

The Remote Minehunting System (RMS) provides the primary mine reconnaissance capability in the Navy’s Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Mine Countermeasures (MCM) Mission Package.  RMS addresses a critical Mine Warfare gap - using unmanned, offboard systems to detect, classify, localize and identify bottom and moored mines in littoral regions - without putting sailors or high-value capital ships in the minefield.  It uses an unmanned, autonomous Remote Multi-Mission Vehicle (RMMV) that tows an advanced Variable Depth Sensor (AQS-20A) that supports minehunting sensors.  RMS searches an area 5 times faster and at less than 1/10th the cost of legacy systems.  The RMMV can operate at great distances (over the horizon) with 24-hour endurance.  No other unmanned system available today has demonstrated the capability or maturity of RMS for persistent, high search rate mine reconnaissance.
