Mine Countermeasures

Modern sea mines use advanced target detection devices and sensors to analyse and compare the shape, structure, intensity and spatial relationship of magnetic, acoustic and electric fields generated by a ship or by a minesweep. The technology embedded in ADI's multi influence Australian Minesweeping System (AMAS) is able now to meet the firing criteria of current as well as emerging mine threats. This world-class capability requires no form of power from the towing platform and can be towed by a variety of platforms for autonomous and remote control minesweeping operations.

AMAS is a systems approach to minesweeping, comprising a magnetic, acoustic, and electric multi influence sweep; a sweep tracker monitor system; mission planning support system software; an ECDIS based minesweeping navigation and control system; a remote controlled minesweeping system and a range of integrated logistic support products and services including a shorting band kit and deployment containers. The sweep can be deployed from MCMVs, naval support craft, remote controlled drones and Craft of Opportunity such as fishing vessels.
