The Remote Minehunting System (RMS) provides the primary reconnaissance capability in the Navy’s Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Mine Countermeasures Mission (MCM) Package.
The RMS system uses an unmanned system to detect, classify, localize and identify bottom and moored mines in littoral regions, without putting sailors or high-value capital ships in the minefield. It uses an unmanned, autonomous Remote Multi-Mission Vehicle (RMMV) that tows an advanced variable depth sensor (AQS-20A) that supports minehunting sensors.
Electromet supports this program by providing rugged electronic cabinets that are located within the RMMV unit. Initial deliveries began in 2013.
