Description

Mission Congressional Adds

Conduct operational demonstrations of notional powered mine delivery systems. FY25 Enacted Congressional Add.

Mission Mine Development

Project 0267 funds the Quickstrike MOD 3, Quickstrike-Extended Range (ER), and Clandestine Delivered Mine (CDM) MK68 programs. Project 2993 adjustments are associated with sensor upgrades to allow the Hammerhead system to prosecute additional targets. The Mines Improvement PE provides resources to develop naval mine systems used to establish and maintain control of essential sea areas. Naval mines are used to deny sea areas or inflict damage on adversary shipping to hinder, disrupt, and deny adversary operations. Naval mining is employed to reduce the adversary's threat to friendly forces and preserve access. Mining complements and performs an essential part of other warfare areas; particularly strike, anti-submarine, and anti-surface warfare. Resources are utilized for developing and deploying improvements to the portfolio of naval mines.

Mission Mine Improvements

Naval mines are used to deter or control adversary movements, including surface ships and submarines. Funding supports the capability to maintain effectiveness of mines facing new threat targets with increasing emphasis on major regional conflicts and near peer threats. The three major project areas are: 1) Quickstrike (QS) Mod 3: QS MOD 3 improves effectiveness of existing mines against modern threats by using a programmable Target Detection Device (TDD) MK-71. QS MOD 3 utilizes modeling and analysis to improve target detection and response by developing optimized mine settings and firing algorithms. Minefield planning improvements include new targeting algorithms, mine settings, and corresponding damage data for weapon /target pairs into existing minefield planning software. 2) QS-ER: QS-ER adds GPS-enabled tail kit and a wing kit to the (QS) series to reduce risk to delivery aircraft by enabling precision mine placement and mid-range standoff delivery. Aerial delivery development efforts address capabilities required by a Joint Emergent Operational Needs Statement (JEONS). 3) Clandestine Delivered Mine: Clandestine Delivered Mine MK68 (CDM MOD 0) provides a required capability by converting legacy mining systems for delivery by Extra Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (XLUUV) and/or alternate platform in support of JEONS. This capability allows access to contested environments and reduces risk by using unmanned platforms. Upgrades to CDM incorporate the programmable TDD MK-71 and adds iterative command and control enhancements (MODs 1 and 2) through future upgrades for increased operational flexibility and safety for emplaced minefields. Additional efforts include transitioning an explosive section design into the CDM program that is in development under the Compact Encapsulated Effector (C-ENCAP) effort that is managed by the Office of Naval Research (ONR).

Mission Encapsulated Effector

The Encapsulated Effector, Hammerhead, program complements existing shallow-water mines by providing maritime mining capability in deeper water depths. Based on the urgency of the requirement, the Hammerhead program utilizes Section 804 authority to streamline acquisition of an initial capability. The system uses existing kinetic payloads to engage enemy targets and provides a wide area of coverage per each weapon. The program uses a self-contained, propelled weapon to engage the target when a target is detected. The system uses modern sensing and processing technology to enable accurate targeting at increased range and maintains minefield resilience even as weapons are expended against targets. The result is expanded operating areas to restrict or deny adversary access to the intended area while using fewer weapons than traditional mines. Additional efforts include; transitioning an encapsulation system with different end effectors under the Compact Encapsulated Effector (C-ENCAP) future naval capability (FNC) that is managed by the Office of Naval Research (ONR).
