Current Resource Environment
• Navy sequester– Sequestration ~7.8% cut to topline
• N95 paying fair share of the sequester bill– Priorities racked and stacked– Uncertainty of sequester effect on FYDP
• PB14 budget is currently on “The Hill”– Does not account for sequestration
• Mine Warfare remains visible– Bi-Weekly & Bi-Monthly CNO reports– Fleet input in development of POM
N95 still has to deliver and support despite uncertaintyN95 still has to deliver and support despite uncertainty

POM-15 N952 Total Obligation Authority (TOA) decreased compared to POM-14. Still supports Mine Warfare (MIW) priorities.

UNCLAS Informational // further distribution only as directed by N95
• Last 12 months:– Deployed 4 CONUS based MCM-1s to C5F to augment force
• Redeployed 2 MCMs back to CONUS (remaining 2 -TBD) – Deployed USS PONCE – AFSB(I) to C5F Jul 12– Deployed MK-18 Mod 2 UUV’s to C5F Jul 12 for User Operational Evaluation– Installed SQQ-32(V) 4 sonar with HFWB on 3 x MCM-1s in Bahrain
• MCM installs progressing across the force
– SeaFox• Installed on 3 x MCM-1 ships in Bahrain• Delivered 4 x Roll On – Roll Off AMCM systems to C5F• Delivered 4 x Portable Mine Neutralization Systems to C5F for EOD UMCM Platoons
– Conducted two major International Mine Countermeasures Exercises Sep 12 & May 13– In process of permanent crewing 4 x MCMs in Bahrain– Funded AQS-24 volume upgrade – Funded 4 x USV integration w/ AQS-24 sonars for day/night minehunting– Funded Quickstrike wing kits – demo by Q2FY14– Conducted Joint Maritime Mining AoA (JHU APL), final report due Jun 13

MIW Near Term Challenges
• Maintaining the Current MCM Force Today While Delivering Future LCS MCM MP Systems
• Fiscal Constrained Environment
• Mine Clearance in a Cluttered Environment
• Speed of the Kill Chain for all MCM Systems
• Revitalizing our Mining Capability
• Low Cost, Innovative, Field Expedient/COTS Solutions
• Plan for Obsolescence– Require modular, open architecture systems that are supportable long term

Opportunities for Industry- UUV power generation / endurance- Not just Unmanned Systems but… Fully Autonomous Systems - Info sharing and cueing between Unmanned Systems
Opportunities for IndustryOpportunities for Industry- UUV power generation / endurance- Not just Unmanned Systems but… Fully Autonomous Systems - Info sharing and cueing between Unmanned Systems
• Utilize Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (UUVs) and Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs)– Comms, endurance, and power generation/management issues inherent with
UUVs/USVs must 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 danger area– Full Detect-to-Engage capability in a single pass
