DSC_5602 - AN/WLD-1 Mine Hunter
Lockheed Martin's AN/WLD-1 RMS is a key component of the Littoral Combat Ship's mine countermeasures package. The system consists of a 7 meter semisubmersible autonomous Remote Multi-Mission Vehicle (RMMV) which tows the AQS-20A Variable Depth sensor. The RMS has sometimes been referred to as a "snorkeler class" unmanned surface vessel due to the snorkel required above surface for the system's diesel engine operation. The RMMV can be pre-programmed to perform autonomously or be manually controlled via line of site or over-the-horizon data link.
