Undersea Vehicles
The application of unmanned vehicles for underwater warfare is
predominantly in the area of mine clearance. Mine clearance in
hostile waters can be fulfilled with the Self-propelled Acoustic
and Magnetic Minesweeping System (SAMMS). This unmanned, remotely
controlled mine sweeping craft is capable of establishing a safe
route through mined waters.
