5. July 20015 Current Status of USN Mines Quickstrike Mk 62/63/65 –Support for older Mods fully funded –Mod 3 procurement initiated this fiscal year –Air platform integration and algorithm development above core Submarine Launched Mobile Mine (SLMM) Mk 67 –Demil/Disposal directed by PR99 –Retention directed by POM02 SPP –Limited support until maintenance is reestablished in FY04 –Out of Service by 2010 Mine Mk 56 –Demil/Disposal directed by PR99 –Retention of contingency quantity directed by POM02 SPP –Minimal support for safety issues only –Out of Service by 2010 Encapsulated Torpedo (CAPTOR) Mk 60 –Demil/Disposal directed by PR99 –Out of service by end of this fiscal year –Some components retained for possible future mines developments

11. July 200111 ‘Top 4’ – Organic MCM Will Organic MCM Systems satisfy the operational mine warfare requirements? Led by overarching IPT Composed of three separate but related IPTs –Analysis –Research –System Engineering IPTs composed of N7/N8/PEO MUW, SURFLANT, CMWC, CSS representatives Provided interim report mid June, final report NLT 30 September

12. July 200112 Objectives Determine the technical capabilities of complete suite of organic systems (seven) and C4I in a coordinated (net-centric) warfighting role –Requirements –CONOPS –Technical Performance Describe capabilities and shortfalls –Identify “holes,” issues, and recommendations Formulate alternatives to shortfalls Recommend solutions

15. July 200115 ‘Top 4’ - Dedicated MIW Forces Roadmap to the Navy after Next MCM’s/MHC’s/New Payloads; –Plan for improvement not clear or funded. MCS Replacement –Valid need for dedicated ship? –Expected life of Inchon –Realistic plan for way ahead >Convert existing ship? >New Construction of a unique ship? >Build an additional ship of an existing class? MH-53 vs. MH-60

16. July 200116 ‘Top 4’ - Improving USW Battle Space Dominance Advancing USW as a concept that includes ASW and MUW Shallow water operations means we no longer have the luxury to keep ASW and MUW separate. Assured access requires an Undersea Warfare Approach.

19. July 200119 Questions?

20. July 200120 Differences from Force 21 Scope of Force 21 included dedicated MCM, End to End (E2E) analysis addresses only organic E2E is a technical assessment addressing interoperability of the suite of systems vs. a strictly operational analysis End to End study addresses C4I to a much greater degree than Force 21 Level of analysis of individual system timelines more detailed in End to End study End to End study uses most recent system performance estimates, rather than notional estimates or ORD thresholds
