Program detail
Mission & acquisition strategy
Sea mines remain a significant threat to ships. In fact, fifteen U.S. Navy ships have been sunk or damaged by mines since World War II, almost four times more than any other weapon. The Mine and Expeditionary Warfare Applied Research Program Element (PE) provides technologies for Naval Mine Countermeasures (MCM), Expeditionary Warfare, U.S. Naval sea mining, Naval Special Warfare (NSW), and Joint Tri-Service Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) as well as continuing support to research vessels of the U.S. Academic Research Fleet for operations and maintenance that enable applied research at sea.

The R-2A exhibit. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan — and they are descriptive: coverage is partial and they do not always add back to the project, so count them, never total them. Opening lines only here — the full year-by-year narrative is on the project page.

What project 0000 buys
This Project focuses on reducing the time involved in conducting Mine Countermeasure (MCM) operations and increasing safe standoff from minefields. It develops and transitions technologies for MCM-related and UAEO-related Future Naval Capabilities (FNC). The MIW effort includes technologies for clandestine and overt minefield reconnaissance, organic ship self-protection, organic mine-hunting, neutralization/breaching and clearance. The Littoral Warfare effort includes critical warfighting functions such as C4ISR, fires, maneuver, sustainment. The sea mining effort emphasizes technologies for future sea mines. The Naval Special Warfare and Explosive Ordnance technology efforts concentrate on the development of technologies to enhance diver capabilities including: safe near-shore mine sensing, mobility and survivability, and ordnance disposal operations.
