Program detail
Mission & acquisition strategy
The Airborne Mine Countermeasures (AMCM) Program Element (PE) previously provided resources to develop advanced Mine Countermeasures (MCM) systems, which are now in production. It currently funds post mission analysis (PMA) software, Mine Warfare Tactics and tactics training for mine warfare operations, and post mission analysis proficiency training. The MCM systems provide mobile, quick reaction forces capable of land or sea-based minehunting and mines countermeasures operations worldwide. Resources are for developing and deploying advanced mine-sweeping systems and the intelligence and oceanographic capabilities that will enable mine warfare superiority.
The NSAM project is executed by government-led teams at Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Panama City Division (PCD) and Naval Research Laboratory - Stennis Space Center (NRL-SSC), with additional services provided by contractor support labor. The Mine Warfare Tactics project is executed by a government team at NSWC PCD.

Project detail
What project 4026 buys
Project 4026: Net-centric Sensor Analysis for Mine Warfare (NSAM) includes both the NSAM and Mine Warfare Tactics projects. NSAM replaced the Organic Post Mission Analysis (OPMA) system, which provides post mission analysis (PMA) capabilities for the Airborne Laser Mine Detection System (ALMDS), the Airborne Mine Neutralization System (AMNS), and a separate module for contact management. Additionally, NSAM will replace the AN/AQS-20C interim Post Mission Analysis (iPMA) system, incorporate additional sensors' PMA capabilities, and integrate generalized Automatic Target Recognition (GATR) algorithms with the goal to improve PMA timelines. NSAM will be the single tactical and environmental PMA system for all Mine Warfare (MIW) sensor data and will provide integrated contact management capabilities. NSAM creates a collaborative, multi-data set, multi-user environment with the goal of reducing the mission timeline and increasing mission effectiveness. NSAM is designed with an extensible architecture, to ease the planned integration of additional sensors and advanced ATR algorithms. The Mine Warfare Tactics project develops tactics at the MIW Staff and MCM Scenario level. Project provides new MIW tactics theory and Fleet tactics training for MIW Staffs. Theory and tactics are documented and published into doctrine for Fleet users.

Project detail
What project 9179 buys
Surface Navy Integrated Undersea Tactical Technology (SNIUTT) is a software tool which provides contact recognition training modules for Mine Countermeasures (MCM) sensor systems. SNIUTT training modules include skills and refresher/proficiency training; the contact recognition training focuses on detection, classification, and identification of mine-like contacts. The modules run on existing PMA and training systems; this implementation reinforces PMA procedures for Fleet operators. Modules are customized based on Fleet-user needs for a specific weapons system and are used both in the classroom and at the squadrons, as contact recognition is a perishable skill. SNIUTT training modules are available for the following systems: 1) Post Mission Analysis training systems for AN/AQS-24; 2) Net-Centric Sensor Analysis for Mine Warfare (NSAM) Post Mission Analysis training systems for AN/AQS-20C; 3) Net-Centric Sensor Analysis for Mine Warfare (NSAM) for ALMDS.
