MCM Capabilities Required

Hunt When You Can; Sweep When You Must

• Minehunting (Detect, Classify, Identify & Neutralization)

Inherent Limitations:

• Unhuntable Environments (Mine Burial, High Clutter)

• Mine Shape/Material (Target Strength)

• Variability of Medium (Acoustics, Bottom Type, Turbidity)

• Mine Sweeping (Acoustic & Magnetic Field Generation)

Inherent Limitations:

• Counter-Countermeasures (Ship Count, Pressure,

Anti-sweep Logic)

• Mine Specific (Unique Response Characteristics)

• Variability of Medium (Acoustic/Magnetic Properties)
