  1. Developments in Mining MINWARA Spring Conference, May 2011 CDR Ron Swart, USN Ret Mining Systems NSWC-PCD A10S PMS-495 This Brief is UNCLASIFIED

  2. Overview • A Vision • Current Picture • Current Efforts • The Road Ahead

  3. Vision for A2/AD - AUWS Long-range Weapons Unmanned Vehicles Expendable Target Detection Devices Encapsulated Weapons “Advanced, smart mobile mines … appears particularly attractive, given … the difficulty and time-consuming nature of countermine operations” …ASB Concept

  4. AUWS in All Operational Phases • Clandestinely Position Weapons (unarmed) • Option to disclose capability (command detonation) • Determine: • Mission Objectives • Environment • Delivery Platform • UV Payload Configuration • Evaluate & Re-Seed as needed Phase 2 Seize Phase 4 Stabilize Phase 0 Shape Phase 1 Deter Phase 3 Dominate Plan • Extract Un-Expended Weapons • Verify Area is Clear • Remotely Arm the Weapons • Enable Autonomous Engagements • Report Weapons Status and Battle Damage • Clandestinely Deliver Expendable Sensors • Collect Target Data • Report Contacts

  5. Value of AUWS Traditional Mining (strategic, autonomous) Transformational AUWS (tactical, controlled) Quickstrike SLMM (through FY12) LD-UUV w/ CRAWs UAV, USV, UUV, UGV SHALLOW INTERMEDIATE DEEP INTERMEDIATE DEEP SHALLOW Distributed Sensors 1 Transformational Mine 400 Traditional Mines DECIDE Sterilize/ Destruct Arm / Engage Decide Clear Deliver Destruct/ DisArm Arm Decide Extract Deliver Engage Days Days - Months Months Days Hours Minutes+ Minutes+ Minutes+ Hours 6

  6. Autonomy vs. Control Remotely Controlled Operator to tactically decide Level of Autonomy based on desired utility Probability of Discriminating Target • Latency • Comms Link • Human in Loop • Mission Changes Control Auto Tactical Control Probability of Defeating Target Autonomous Autonomy • Responsive • Detect-to-engage Autonomy improves Performance; Control improves Utility

  7. QUICKSTRIKE “Family” of Mines- Today - MK 62 MK 63 MK 65 Air-laid – bottom influence 2016 2016 2009

  8. Submarine Launched Mobile Mine Mk 67 • Deployed 1985 • Clandestine capable • Sub laid - SSN 688 Class (20) • Bottom Mine • Influence: Magnetic/Seismic • Based on MK 37 Torpedo • developmental testing 1955 • Complex mechanism/outdated technology • Warhead 515 Lb (PBXN-103) • DEMIL Start FY10 end FY12

  9. QS MINE MK 65 MOD 0 UTB CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS

  10. Operational View - RC2 Mobile Gateway R&I pattern

  11. Air Standoff Options Aerial Stand-off Range Extension • Several Commercial Wing Kits • Increased Glide Ratio • Multiple Systems in Development

  12. LDUUV Options • Use existing systems to provide a rapid response, demonstration test bed for LDUUV development • What is it? Long Duration Large Diameter Littoral UUV is adaptation of existing MK 8 Mod 1 SDV design. • Why L2D2 ? Realistically doable, reasonable cost, needed, contingency capability for Naval and Joint Forces. 1 year from design to in-water demo; significant potential for mission capability • SDV Mk8 Mod1: • Fielded, Supported, & Cost Effective • Reliable • Ample Room for Payloads • Provides configurable test bed for payload concept experimentation and integration

  13. LD-UUV AUWS Payload Options Sensor Module FY10 Concept REMUS “data mule” Stationary Mine Mobile Mine Stationary Mine Sensor ArcherFish Neutralizer

  14. Weapon Options 21” Dia MK 48 19” Dia SLMM 12” Dia Mk 54 7” Dia REMUS CRAW 6” Dia ArcherFish 4” Dia

  15. Sensor Options ONR PLUS INP SOF

  16. Communications Gateway Options

  17. Current Studies and Analysis • GAMET Modeling Tool– NSWC PCD • N00X – Asymmetric ASW Study (Deep Water Mining) • OPNAV N87 • Coastal Attack call for Proposals • Asymmetric Payload call for concepts • JCTD - OSD/SPECWAR: Maritime Predator • ONR - FY-14 T&E Requirements • Mine Analysis of Alternatives - OPNAV • Mining Deep Dive - DoD RDA Task Force

  18. Summary • Lets extend our dominance into their littoral OPAREA • Integrate the mine mission into the ASW and SUW construct for a true USW capability at the right place, and the right time • Let’s keep them up at night worrying about our mines.
