RMS Participation in Fleet Battle Experiment
Juliet (FBE-J)

• Simulated Operations on USS FITZGERALD (DDG 62)
• Used shipboard personnel at the RMS Vehicle
  Operator (RVO) and RMS Sensor Operator (RSO)
  workstations
• Simulated exploratory minehunting in several
  Q-routes, one of which was mined
• Quicklook Report of 6 Sep 02
• RMS employment did not preclude DDG
  multi-mission operations
• effectively conducted exploratory minehunting
  and mine localization.

• Tested target prosecution including
  reacquisition, divert, obstacle avoidance, ROP
  operations, and loss of comms
• Software Stability and System Integration Lab

AN/WLD-1(V)1 Alternate Missions

Adaptable to a broad spectrum of new
applications and missions - Littoral ASW -
Optical Surveillance - EW/COMINT/ISR -
Seabed Mapping/Q-Route Survey - Mine
Neutralization
Complement Coastal Harbor Defense, Anti-Terroris
m/Force Protection

• Multi-mission RMS provides unsurpassed value to
  surface combatants
• - Enables manning reductions
• - Increases ship crew safety
• - Cost savings (one system accomplishes many
  missions)
• - Reduces political risks in sensitive areas
• - Complements OMCM and Dedicated MCM

NOTIONAL PLAN AN/WLD-1 SUPPORT OF HSV AND LCS

• Target is May 2004 for HSV-X2 operations
• AN/WLD-1 interfaced to the Integrated Combat
  Weapon System (ICWS)
• Should procure an additional vehicle (6500K
  with quantity buy in FY03) to support this and
  future HSV and LCS development and
  experimentation efforts

• Threat laydown based on MCIA Threat
• Obstacle barriers consist of tetrahedrons,
  four-strand barb wire fence (cattle fence),
  tanglefoot, triple standard concertina (TSC)
  wire, and sea urchins
• Mines include anti-tank, anti-landing, and
  anti-vehicle types
• Surface detonation did not create craters and
  remaining debris did not obstruct or hinder
  transit (AAV)
• AAVs were able to transverse through breached
  land obstacle arrays
• The Way Ahead
• Characterize Tactical Utility of Existing Weapons
• Fuzing

• Promising clearance concept - but not a silver

The Way Ahead

• Both dedicated and organic MCM systems will
  employ sophisticated, networked unmanned surface,
  air, and underwater vehicles equipped with
  advanced technology systems to detect and
  neutralize mines in the shallow water and surf
  zones, will be used to quickly avoid or enter and
  safely clear dangerous mined areas.
• DoN Transformation Roadmap, Power and Access . .
  . From the Sea
• Our most transformational effort and number one
  budget priority, the Littoral Combat Ship . . .
  They will counter anti-access threats . . . and
  large numbers of inexpensive mines. They will be
  the backbone of our carrier and expeditionary
  strike group organic mine warfare capability.
• Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Vern Clark
