  • Results (as stated in 2001)Current suite of systems under development is adequate for the intended applications with various shortfalls, some significantMine HuntingOMCM will be capable of performing the mine hunting role adequatelyLimitations generally result from platform limitations (MH-60S range/endurance, SSN configuration, DDG configuration)Mine SweepingPlatform size/weight restrictions impact the mine sweeping performance capability. Tactical solutions will be necessaryShortfalls: Nine Priority A (significant impact to OMCM)Eight Priority B (moderate impact to OMCM or not well defined)Sixteen Findings (statements of fact, no immediate impact to OMCM)

  • Communications MatrixGREEN: ALL OMCM COMMUNICATIONS DATA RATE REQUIREMENTS ARE WITHIN CURRENT/NEAR TERM COMMUNICATIONS CAPABILITIESNumbers in cells are derived data transmission requirements.

  • Timeline Matrix(1) No appreciable decrease in mission time due to necessity to perform OASIS missions (which are not affected by NOMBO density) after reconnaissance and are daytime-only towing missions.SLOCOPAREABaseline*Excursion 1Excursion 2Excursion 3Normalized Mission TimeX1.55X14.7X22.9X11.5X9.8X1.00X(1)10x10 Box1.64X2.54X1.27X1.09X(2 Lily Pads vice 1)(NOMBO Density = 16)(NOMBO Density = 4)* Baseline Consists of 1 Lily Pad, 2 MH-60S, 1 RMS, 1 LMRS, and NOMBO Density of 80.82XSection 2

  • Shortfall #1Shortfall: OMCM CVBG cannot meet combined MIW (OMCM and DMCM) timeline requirements outlined in the draft Capstone Requirements Document. CRD does not have OMCM-only requirements definitionDescription: Increasing number of MCM systems and/or capabilities of MCM systems can substantially reduce timeline. Maintaining a rapidly deployable dedicated MCM force remains a necessityAction: PMS210 develop roadmap for dedicated MCM capabilities that includes interoperability with OMCM forces. Recommend to OPNAV to define OMCM-only requirement

  • Shortfall #2Shortfall: OAMCM missions on MH-60S require lily pad to overcome OAMCM standoff distance and MH-60S range/endurance limitationsDescription: A lily pad ship is required for use by the OAMCM systems. Unless the CV moves closer to the area to be addressed, and thus closer to a potential mined environment, then a lily pad is necessary due to the limited reach of the MH-60S aircraft. In order to increase the number of aircraft in MCM operations, additional ships will need to be tied to the lily pad roleAction: Base some MH-60S aircraft and OAMCM systems (with support) on another platform that can be moved to within 10 nmi of operation area

  • Shortfall #3Shortfall: MH-60S time on station is limited for tow missions in Hot Day (102.9 degrees F, 39.4 degrees C SL). These conditions are not unusual for the areas of interestDescription: MH-60S OAMCM tow operations (AN/AQS-20/X, OASIS) are limited during hot day (102.9 F at SL) conditions. At these conditions, the best-case mission performance on-station time is 30 minutes with 10nm transit radius from Lily-Pad platform. This low on-station time is inefficient and may not be practicalAction: PMS210 develop initial tactics to minimize employment of towed systems in hot day conditions. Other alternative considered: Increase MH-60S tow time under hot day conditions (aircraft improvements)

  • Hot Day ExcursionTime in Field (Minutes) for 10 nm transitMH-60S time in field is significantly reduced for a hot day (103F) compared to a tropical day (90F). This leads to significant increase in the number of sorties required.For the baseline SLOC, the number of MH-60S tow missions (AQS-20/X and OASIS) increases from 28 to 80.SLOCBaselineHotMH-60 Sorties2880Adds 16 DaysNote 1SLOC with RMS doing all hunting

  • MH-60S Mission Time on Station vs. RadiusAQS-20/X Towing Mission

  • MH-60S Mission Time on Station vs. RadiusOASIS Towing MissionTransit Radius - NM

  • Shortfall #4Shortfall: Influence minesweeping with OASIS requires 53% of all MH-60S sorties flown in baseline End to End scenario (this is one plausible scenario of many options)Description: The OASIS system towed on the MH-60S requires the most sorties of any of the AMCM systems. The number of influence sweeping sorties is relatively insensitive to threat and environmental parameters, and can become the driver in the overall MCM timeline if insufficient AMCM-capable MH-60S aircraft and OASIS systems are not available in the CVBG Action: Brief results to N752 and discuss possible force structure (increase number of OASIS systems on CV and the number of tow-capable aircraft) or sweep doctrine changes Appendix D, Exec Summary

  • Number of Sorties in the Baseline SLOC scenario from End to End AssessmentWhy such a high number?OASIS: 1) Much smaller A compared to a MK-106 ( to ) coupled with ; 2) Shorter time on station (1.x vs. 4.x hrs)AQS-20A: 1) Highly dependent on RMS hunt contribution on initial around the clock hunt. Without RMS, AQS-20A becomes primary helo resource user until hunt clearance gets to 64%LMRS survey contributes bottom characterization, clutter density and potential contacts of interest and may contribute to clearance levels if surveyed area overlaps MDA and/or established minefields ***

  • Value of Sweeping with OASIS?Why must we sweep? To account for known/possible unknowns1) Buried mines are not huntable (today)2) When bottom conditions preclude efficient hunting3) Mines missed during hunting, which remain after hunting (statistical residue) due to technical limitations (nav error, decoyed mines, oceanographic phenomena, occultation, etc.)What if we dont develop an organic sweep at all and quit at hunting + neutralizing?Weve only dealt with the known problem, ignores the known/possible unknowns piece1) Risk of buried, decoyed or missed mine actuation2) Capability gap in known unhuntable areasOASIS is practically the most critical of the OAMCM weapons suiteto reduce risk

  • Value of sweeping as a function of RiskSweeping is only means to address un-huntable (poor environmental conditions) and buried threats; OASIS is the only organic solutionSweeping is valuable in two situationsHigh clutter density areas. Hunt and ID of a large number of minelike contacts is less efficient than sweep, once the density of the clutter exceeds a threshold In areas with a high fraction of undetectable mines. Hunting alone can only achieve a maximum value that is dependent on the bottom type. The maximum clearance obtainable is 1

  • Impact of Data Link on E2E Baseline SLOC Timeline When datalink is removed, the timeline doesn't change. Why?Large number of OASIS sorties dictate length of operation. Requires no data link capabilityFew Q-20 and ALMDS sorties to make efficient use of data link. Rapid follow-on not possible (asset limitations) or necessary (OASIS)Tactical implications of not having TCDL and using Link-16 insteadReal-time contact reaction not available at CVTSC. Is it necessary? Not reallyLinks through complete battlegroup (non-video) into an established network

    This figure shows timeline using two aircraft with TCDL to clear the SLOC.

  • MH-60S Time on Station improvementsHot day performance up to 41 min (30 threshold / 45 objective), achieved through: removal of HIRSS and ISD (though the provisions remain), weight reduction throughout the Block 2 and 3A-Kits,weight reduction within the Block 2B-Kit, and implementation of a 10-min rating for the engine Other weight reduction initiatives being explored to gain more margin (not yet implemented) include composite stabilator, crew reduction, improved ECS unit, active vibration,light-weight tow cable, electric winch, etc.A CDL system is in the baseline program of record, scheduled for an 04 start, fielding in 07. Potential savings of 260 lbs if requirement is eliminated (TCDL of questionable tactical advantage)

  • Status of shortfallsOperationally significant shortfalls directly influence number of sortiesSignificant shortfalls severely complicate MCM executionMarginally significant shortfalls moderately complicate MCM executionAdministrative shortfalls have no direct impact on the number of sorties(A3, A4)(A7)

    For example, if the exploratory objective is to determine that no more than 2 mines are located within an area (with 95% confidence level), then a level of effort (i.e., number of tracks) equivalent to approximately 64% percent clearance is required with no mine being detected.

  • Stages of Risk ReductionInitial searchLeaves false contactsDoes not reduce risk unless all contacts are avoided by all ships in transitDoes not find undetectable mines (buried / disguised)Contact revisit for confirmation / identificationReduces false contactsStill does not reduce risk unless all contacts are avoidedFor bottom mines, requires much greater time than initial searchStill does not find undetectable mines (buried / disguised)NeutralizationIf avoidance is not feasibleOnly after neutralization is the risk in a SLOC reducedDoes not reduce risk against undetectable mines (buried / disguised)After search, undetectable threat remainsrevisit/ID, and neutralize phase is complete there is still a threat from undetectable mines (buried, disguised, decoyed, etc.)Only solution remaining is to sweep

  • How long do you search before sweep?Risk to transiting shipTime in MCM OperationsSearch is more efficientSweep is more efficientT*Search-ID-Neutralize until the slope of the sweep curve is greater. This is at T*

    The slope of the curves is the marginal rate of return

    Take the action thatmaximizes the marginal rate of return

    Simple rule: maximize rate of return at the margin

    Applying the simple rule: in some environments, buried / disguised mines impose a limit on rate of return to Search-ID-Neutralize tactics

  • What affects the rate of return?Search-ID-NeutralizeSearch time depends mainly on swath width, speed, time on station.ID time depends mainly on number of initial contacts from search, and time needed to revisit these contacts. Depends heavily on bottom type. ID time is typically largest of the three.Neutralize time depends on number of objects identified as mines, time required to neutralize and complete BDA.Percent buried / disguised mines imposes lower limit on risk reduction.SweepDepends on assumed ship count to sweep against.Swath width, speed, time on station

  • Search-ID-Neutralize TimesRisk to transiting shipTime in Search-ID-NeutralizeLimit of risk reduction due to buried / disguised threatSearchRevisit / ID NeutralizeID time large due to clutter and time required to ID each contactSearch to higher Pdc more clutter detected more ID timeSearch to higher Pdc but remaining threatis undetectable

  • Sweeping and Ship CountShip count = 1Ship count = 2Ship count = 3Time in SweepIncreasing ship count swept against requires more time.

    Lower rate of return as ship count increases.

The solution is not unique.Team method core team reviewed assumptions, identified shortfalls and ranked shortfalls in order of their impact on OMCM capability.Baseline scenarios

    SLOC: 60 nmi x 1000 yds Half of the CRD definition of SLOC 120 nmi x 1000 yds is assigned to a single CVBG.OPAREA: 10 nmi x 10 nmi size suitable for single suite of OMCM systems

    Environment and Threat Laydown NAVO supplied bottom type information N81 supplied representative mine threat laydown.

    Shows communication requirements of all systems.Left column shows system and antenna/transceiverTop row shows direction of message and capacity of link

    EXAMPLES:ALMDS mission plan of 100 kbits might be sent from CV TSC to the MH-60S. The capacity of the link is 200 kbps, so the transmission would take 0.5 seconds.Data from ALMDS sent from the MH-60S to the CV-TSC via the TCDL link requires a nominal 0.448 Mbps. The TCDL data link has 10.71 Mbps capacity.

    ISSUE:Did not address how much of bandwidth is available to MCM due to competing misions. This table has been normalized. All values were divided by the time to complete the baseline SLOC.

    The OPAREA (30 nmi x 30nmi) column is just 9x the 10x10 Box column. EXAMPLEIt takes 64% longer to complete the baseline 10nmi x 10 nmi OPAREA than to complete the baseline SLOC.

    It takes the same amount of time to complete the SLOC with NOMBO density of 4 as it does to complete the SLOC with NOMBO density of 8 (baseline).

    The greatest impact is on towed systems: AN/AQS-20/X and OASIS.LMRS arrives early and reconnoiters three separate potential SLOC locations to determine the various clutter densities and/or any potentially mined areas.

    This information is used to choose which location is used for the SLOC. In this case the rightmost route has the lowest overall clutter density, and is chosen as the preferred route. The generated timelines refer to this route.Costs in FY02 $.Priority A: Impact on OMCM capability is significant, and the impact is well-defined and understood.Priority B: Impact on OMCM capability is moderately significant, or the impact is not we
