MCM VISION:MCM VISION:1. Reduce MCM timelines for Combatant
Commanders2. Reduce risk from sea mines to allow Joint Force
mission execution• Slow speed of advance• Large footprint• Manpower / Training Intensive
• Precise• Modular• Optimized use of Manpower

3. Integrate new and evolving technologies into the Littoral Combat Ship to fill capability gaps
Current Resource Environment• PB14 passed without sequestration due to budget compromise
• PB15 in process of being submitted to Hill
P d f i d b d i— Protected from sequestration due to budget compromise
• Back to sequester levels in FY16 if grand bargain not reached
Sequester level also known as Budget Control Act (BCA) level— Sequester level also known as Budget Control Act (BCA) level
• Navy is working two different budgets for POM 16
— Baseline at BCA levelBaseline at BCA level
— Excursion for adds if compromise is reached
• Continued focus is on improving and sustaining current capability while p g g p ydelivering the LCS Mine Countermeasure Mission Package
N95 Priorities during a challenging fiscal environment:• LCS IOT&E

Mine Warfare Program Activity
• Avenger Class MCM’s• 2 C5F MCMs C5F redeployed to CONUS• 2 San Diego MCMs to replace C7F AVENGER and DEFENDER• C5F to receive permanent MCM crews• SQQ-32(v)4 / HFWB install on C5F MCMs
• PONCE remains in C5F• Major International Mine Countermeasures Exercises
• Sep 2012 & May 2013• IMCMEX 14 in November
• Seafox Neutralization Units exercised in C5F: Surface, Airborne, and Portable Mine Neutralization Systems
• Mine Hunting Units deployed to Bahrain• ALMDS early deployment to C5F, IMCMEX 14. (CNO interest item)

MIW Challenges• Maintaining the Current MCM Force Today While Delivering Future
LCS MCM MP Systems
• Fiscal EnvironmentFiscal Environment
• Speed of the Kill Chain for all MCM Systems
• Revitalizing U.S. Intermediate and Deep Water Mining Capability
• Low Cost, Innovative, Expedient/COTS Solutions
• Plan for Obsolescence - Require modular, open architecture systems that are supportable long term
Where Industry may helpWhere Industry may helpWhere Industry may helpWhere Industry may help- UUV power generation / endurance- Unmanned System Autonomy- Info sharing and cueing among Manned and Unmanned Systems

Alongside Servicing of Unmanned & Manned vessels• Refueling• Data extraction/transfer• Expeditionary
• Reduce timelines– Recovery, turnaround, re-launch not required– Increase in-water time for multiple missions

Other Items• Utilize Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (UUVs) and Unmanned Surface
Vehicles (USVs)– Comms, endurance, and power generation/management issues inherent with UUVs/USVs
must be resolvedmust be resolved– Flexible, adaptable, open architecture design. Stovepipes removed.
• Idea: A common powered-section that can be fitted with a mission-specific “front end” (e.g., minehunting, neutralization, or even minelaying)
• “Other” approaches to speed up the MIW timeline– Increase passive MCM through ISR, satellites, and IPOE– Decouple payloads from platforms (MCM and mining)
• Air-dropped UUVs for rapid reaction– Need robust design while adhering to weight & aircraft/helo integration
• Multiple, networked UUVs/USVs operating autonomously in suspected mine p , p g y pdanger area
– Full Detect-to-Engage capability in a single pass
Far-Term = Autonomous, Networked UUVs and Advanced Underwater Weapons
