Having made an important shift in tactical focus from the traditional global conflict to regional conflict, the U.S. Navy is increasingly focused on the projection of power from sea to land by expanding its regional warfare capabilities into littoral regions which involve operations to and from the near land ocean. To support the power transfer mechanism in littoral regions cluttered with mines, the Navy has recognized a critical need to develop and/or acquire enabling technology with which to carry out sea mine reconnaissance, detection, classification and neutralization operations in littoral environments without imposing unnecessary risk of personnel safety.
