A. Mission Description and Budget Item Justification
The Airborne Mine Countermeasures (AMCM) Program Element (PE) provides resources to develop an advanced Mine Countermeasures (MCM) system to counter
known and projected mine threats, as well as to develop 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 minesweeping 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 includes 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, the establishment of capable networked command and control
systems, and standing up an accurate and interactive environmental system with the ability to form and disseminate a Common Environmental Picture. 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 Strat Into Medal, Tactics & Trng Organic Force has been renamed Net-Centric Sensor Analysis for Mine Warfare (NSAM). Post Mission Analysis (PMA)
currently includes two projects: the legacy Organic Post Mission Analysis (OPMA) system and the next generation Net-Centric Sensor Analysis for Mine Warfare
(NSAM) system.
