The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.

Asked vs spent: the PB2019 book requested $10.8M for FY2019; the PB2021 book reported $8.02M as actual total obligation authority — $2.81M below the request. 8.0 − 10.8 = -2.8 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — Airborne Mine Countermeasures
The Airborne Mine Countermeasures (AMCM) Program Element (PE) previously provided resources to develop advanced Mine Countermeasures (MCM) systems, which are now in production. It currently funds post mission analysis software, integrated tactics and tactics training for mine warfare operations, and post mission analysis proficiency training. The MCM systems provide mobile, quick reaction forces capable of land or sea-based minehunting and mines countermeasures operations worldwide. Resources are for developing and deploying advanced mine-sweeping systems and the intelligence and oceanographic capabilities that will enable mine warfare superiority. Tactics and techniques used vary across a diversity of environments and threats, including both asymmetric and emerging. Resources provide for systems and support of mine warfare systems and expeditionary systems to allow for continuous operations of the Navy's warships and support vessels, other military vessels, and commercial vessels. Core capabilities include forward presence, deterrence, sea control, power projection, maritime security, humanitarian assistance and disaster response to maintain freedom of the seas. Capability improvements include: reducing post-mission analysis time; reducing detect, classify, and identify decision time; improving neutralization time; improving network communications; automatic target recognition; and achieving in-stride detect-to-engage capability. Concept-of-operations include development of cooperative, modular systems with a common post mission analysis system providing advanced tools to automate the complex problem of contact management for the thousands of recorded detections and the establishment of capable networked command and control systems. Efforts benefit the MCM force by transforming the Navy from the platform-centered legacy set of systems to a capability-centered force that is distributed, networked, and able to provide unique maritime influence and access across the entire maritime domain. The Airborne Mine Countermeasures (AMCM) programs will provide detection, classification, localization, identification, neutralization, influence sweep, and post mission analysis capabilities. This capability will be of critical importance in littoral zones, confined straits, choke points, and the Amphibious Objective Area (AOA). Project 4026 Net-Centric Sensor Analysis for Mine Warfare (NSAM) also includes the Integrated Tactics project. NSAM is the next generation post mission analysis (PMA) system which replaced the legacy Organic Post Mission Analysis (OPMA) system. NSAM will be the single tactical and environmental PMA system for all Mine Warfare (MIW) sensor data and will provide integrated contact management capabilities. NSAM creates a collaborative, multi-data set, multi-user environment with the goal of reducing the mission timeline and increasing mission effectiveness. NSAM is designed with an extensible architecture to ease integration of additional sensors and advanced algorithms including incorporation of artificial intelligence capabilities to reduce the time and burden of target recognition during mission analysis on the warfighter. The Integrated Tactics project develops tactics at the MIW Staff and MCM Scenario level. Project provides new MIW tactics theory and Fleet tactics training for MIW Staffs. Theory and tactics are documented and published into doctrine for Fleet users. Project 9179, Surface Navy Integrated Undersea Tactical Technology (SNIUTT) is a software training tool which provides contact recognition training modules for Mine Countermeasures (MCM) sensor systems and runs on existing PMA and training systems.
Mission — Net-Centric Sensor Analysis for Mine Warfare (NSAM)
Project 4026: Net-centric Sensor Analysis for Mine Warfare (NSAM) includes both the NSAM and Integrated Tactics projects. NSAM replaced the Organic Post Mission Analysis (OPMA) system, which provides post mission analysis (PMA) capabilities for the Airborne Laser Mine Detection System (ALMDS), the Airborne Mine Neutralization System (AMNS), and a separate module for contact management. Additionally, NSAM will replace the AN/AQS-20C interim Post Mission Analysis (iPMA) system. NSAM will be the single tactical and environmental PMA system for all Mine Warfare (MIW) sensor data and will provide integrated contact management capabilities. NSAM creates a collaborative, multi-data set, multi-user environment with the goal of reducing the mission timeline and increasing mission effectiveness. NSAM is designed with an extensible architecture, to ease integration of additional sensors and advanced algorithms. The Integrated Tactics project develops tactics at the MIW Staff and MCM Scenario level. Project provides new MIW tactics theory and Fleet tactics training for MIW Staffs. Theory and tactics are documented and published into doctrine for Fleet users.
Mission — Surf Navy Integ Undersea Tactical Tech
Surface Navy Integrated Undersea Tactical Technology (SNIUTT) is a software tool which provides contact recognition training modules for Mine Countermeasures (MCM) sensor systems. SNIUTT training modules include skills and refresher/proficiency training; the contact recognition training focuses on detection, classification, and identification of mine-like contacts. The modules run on existing PMA and training systems; this implementation reinforces PMA procedures for Fleet operators. Modules are customized based on Fleet-user needs for a specific weapons system and are used both in the classroom and at the squadrons, as contact recognition is a perishable skill. SNIUTT training modules are available for the following systems: 1) Post Mission Analysis training systems for AN/AQS-24; 2) Net-Centric Sensor Analysis for Mine Warfare (NSAM) Post Mission Analysis training systems for AN/AQS-20C; 3) Net-Centric Sensor Analysis for Mine Warfare (NSAM) for ALMDS.
