### Project 2917 — Shallow Water MCM Demos

This Project develops and demonstrates prototype technology for Mine Countermeasures (MCM), US Naval sea mining, and Expeditionary Warfare and Joint EOD system components that support capabilities enabling Naval and Joint EOD Forces to influence operations ashore. Adversarial nations have the capability to procure, stockpile and rapidly deploy all types of naval mines, throughout the littorals including new generation mines having sophisticated performance characteristics. They also have the capability to develop or modify explosive devices such as mines and unexploded ordnance to construct Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) for the purpose of targeting Joint Forces. Real world operations have demonstrated the requirement to quickly counter the mine threat. Current operations have also demonstrated the requirement to quickly counter the threat from explosive hazards and IEDs during DoW operations. Advanced technologies must rapidly detect and neutralize all mine types, from deep water to the inland objective. Advanced technologies must enable Joint EOD forces to detect/locate, gain access, diagnose, render safe, neutralize, recover, exploit and dispose of a broad spectrum of explosive hazards including unexploded ordnance and IEDs. This program supports the advanced development and integration of sensors, processing, warheads, and delivery vehicles to demonstrate improved Naval Warfare capabilities. This Project supports the advanced development and integration of sensors and tools for standoff capabilities such as detection and location of IEDs (particularly in dismounted operations), dismounted diagnosis of buried munitions and other explosive hazards, precision render safe and neutralization of surface munitions and other explosive hazards, and enhanced access to IEDs. It supports advanced development for battlespace shaping weapons including advanced undersea weapons. It supports the MCM related FNC Enabling Capabilities (ECs).

| Activity (R-2A) | FY2025 | FY2026 | FY2027 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Joint EOD Demos | 2.0 | 2.1 | 0.0 |

> R-2A activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan. Coverage is partial, so count them, never total them.

## Mission & acquisition strategy

Explosive ordnance disposal is a critical naval mission vital to the safety of service members and civilians. Highly trained Sailors and Marines utilize their knowhow and courage combined with state-of-the-art technology to remove unexploded ordnance, land/sea mines and even chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. The Department of War (DoW) Directive 5160.62 "DoW Executive Agent for Military Explosive Ordnance Disposal Technology & Training" guides research in this Program Element (PE).
