The Remote Minehunting System (RMS) is a mine reconnaissance system designed for the detection, classification, identification, and localization of bottom and moored mines in shallow and deep water. The RMS is a fully integrated system consisting of a semi-submersible Remote Multi-Mission Vehicle (RMMV) with a tethered, towed variable depth sensor, the AN/AQS-20. The RMMV is a high-endurance, semi-autonomous, low-observable, unmanned vehicle. The AN/AQS-20, aseparate Acquisition Category II program, incorporates five separate sonars/sensors (side-look sonar, forward-look sonar, volume search sonar, gap fill sonar, and electro-optical identification sensor) in a compact, lightweight, and hydrodynamically stable towed body. The AN/AQS-20 localizes mine-like objects and provides the operator with a visual image and a contact data list. All mission data is recorded by the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) for post-mission analysis. Line-of-Sight and Over-the-Horizon communication provides vehicle Command and Control and mine reconnaissance sensor data transmission. The RMS will provide the Navy the capability to keep ships and Sailors out of the minefield and will be deployed from the LCS as part of the Mine Countermeasures Mission Package (MCM MP).
