OPERATION MINEHUNTER: Remote Minehunting Vehicle provides autonomous mine detection for U.S. Navy

摘要

Lockheed Martin has developed the Remote Minehunting Vehicle (RMV) for the U.S. Navy to detect moored and bottom mines in open and coastal waters. The only part of the unmanned semi-submersible vehicle visible above the waterline is the antenna mast, equipped with a video camera and snorkel. It is virtually undetectable as it searches, locates and identifies mines. With this system, the navy is able to reduce ships and manpower typically needed to carry out these missions.
