Abstract:

The Marine Corps has a requirement for a mobile mine countermeasure system hereafter referred to as the system capable of breaching enemy minefields in very shallow water and from the high watermark inland in conjunction with lead echelons of the amphibious assault. The system will be employed by assault amphibious vehicle AAV units to provide a highly mobile, quick response capability for the asault breaching of single impulse pressure and tilt-rod antitank and antipersonnel minefield. A preplanned product improvement P3I goal will be the neutralization of magnetically fuzed, blast hardened and multiple impulse mines. The initial operational capability IOC for the system is FY91. The date for full operational capability FOC is scheduled for FY94.
