Remote Minehunting System ( Rms ) Of Littoral Combat Ship

After completing the entry of a package of six Russian kilos on January 20, 2017, Vietnam has officially become a member of the "submarine club". With the existing six submarines, Vietnam's ability to defend and control territorial waters has increased significantly. However, with the topographic features of the South China Sea, kilos can not work effectively in certain areas such as estuaries, bays or islands, this is necessary for the purpose of Vietnam's sea defense in the current geopolitical situation. So, sooner or later, the second submarine brigade, that is based on high mobility mini submarine that replenishing the existing six Kilos, must be established . This paper will demonstrate that mini submarines are

Not only did we have ships, but we had a device called the Turtle. Invented nearly 150 years before, it was not until the Revolutionary War that the submarine would be used in combat. A man named David Bushnell would develop the Turtle to deploy underwater mines. The Turtle would fail all of its missions and would be lost at the Battle of Fort Lee when the ship transporting it would be sunk. “Despite the failures of the Turtle, General George Washington gave Bushnell a commission as an Army engineer…After the war, he became commander of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.”(History 1).

Some of those collaborating are Marine Transportation System National Advisory Council (MTSNAC), U.S. Coast Guard (USCG), Committee on the Marine Transportation System (CMTS), the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The IMO is leading an initiative in collaboration with many United Nations (UN) organizations in an attempt to create national legislation that will outlaw piracy. NATO is continuing to enhance its collaboration with its partners and international actors such as the European Union to ensure maritime security. Additionally among other programs that NATO oversees, Operation Ocean Shield is assisting in the fight against piracy off the Horn of

The mission of the USS Ronal Reagan is to prevail in all operations from peace to war as the cornerstone of Carrier Strike Group Five capability to sustain presence, project power and to fight and win decisively from the sea. The Vision is to achieve readiness and victory in combat by excelling in the basics and to maintain the highest standards of professionalism, operational and technical competence, and material readiness (USS Ronald Reagan, 2016). An aircraft carrier organization is led by the Commanding Officer followed by the Executive Officer and then Department Head. There are several Departments aboard an aircraft Carrier, this paper will discuss the Weapons Department. All Nimitz class aircraft carrier departments are organized the same. The Weapons Department is led by the Weapons Officer and broken down into five Divisions; G-1 Flight Deck, G-2 Armory, G-3 Weapons Assembly, G-4 Elevators, and G-5 Ordnance Control. The Weapons Department is responsible for the security, stowage, breakout, handing, issue and shipment of all conventional weapons and explosive devices on-board the ship. In order to defend itself and support the embarked carrier air wing, the aircraft carrier has to be loaded with certain types of ordnance to complete that task (USS George Bush, 2016).

In the world of military matters, the United States is on the forefront of military technology, tactics, and personnel, especially with the recently commissioned Zumwalt Class Destroyers. Recently within the U.S. Navy specifically, there have been many upgrades and changes, mainly due to the need for upgrades within the many different areas of the fleet. With the newly designed Zumwalt class currently being built by General Dynamics by Bath Iron Works, the Navy has done just that.

At the strategic level I developed an operational plan that consisted of AMOC’s Project and Plans, Operations, and Systems Directorates, AMO Headquarters (HQ) Test and Evaluation (T&E), and the South East Region to participate in the Maritime Lab Demonstration. The Maritime Lab intends to demonstrate the use of a tethered aerostat outfitted with a maritime radar to improve maritime security operations. The demonstration will also include the use of the Minotaur Mission Management System to share surveillance data among aircraft, vessels and command centers. I developed the desired Critical Operational Issues for the Maritime Lab with the Program Manager Rob Brown. The plan I provided consisted of roles and responsibilities, action items, goals and expectations of activities during the maritime demonstration. As the Lead Maritime Operational Representative for Customs and Border Protection, and Deputy Project Manager for the Dark Vessel Detection Project (DVD-P), I initiated the activity to develop a maritime sensor database and coordinated with DHS components and offices with maritime equities to ensure inclusion as the database is developed. I queried the United States Coast Guard, United States Border Patrol, and National Maritime Intelligence-Integration Office to obtain their functional needs in using the maritime

The coastal marine space surrounding the United States is vast. Poor access to supporting resources such as fuel or communications, means manned patrol vessels face challenges with monitoring resolution, mission endurance, crew comfort, and information relay. A combination of low cost autonomous vessels and buoys, both at the surface and underwater, can help mitigate these issues. However, existing systems have varying capabilities that make each suited to particular types of tasks.

The future of warfare and intelligence is upon the american people today, and it is appears to be the size of a small fishing boat. Massive yet small, the DDG-1000 Zumwalt class stealth destroyer is cutting through naval regularity with innovative new offensive, stealth, and information technology. The Zumwalt will be known as the harbinger of technology and innovation in the upcoming years. Just as gunpowder and the machinegun have changed warfare forever,the Zumwalt marks the beginning of a new era.

As a one of the world’s top maritime power, United States declared it’s “National Military Strategy”. Two essential principles of NMS is forward presence and crisis response. Based on the NMS, Navy and Marine Corps

Today, radar is one of the most prevalent equipment devices used in the military, especially on naval ships. Radar is so detrimental to the navy because it detects invisible or distant objects by means of reflected radio waves and is capable of locating them accurately in space . Using this method, radars are able to scan for and, or track targets that, again, are too far for the human eye to see. With the AN/SPQ-9B, a ship is able to do both; in fact it can track while scanning. The track while

Radar (Radio Detection and Ranging) is a method of detection that works by sending out radio waves and detecting any reflections from distant objects. Created by Christian Hülsmeyer, a German scientist, in 1904, the invention first became useful in World War 1, where it was used to determine the location of enemy planes.. Once World War 2 began and U-boats were once again roaming the Atlantic, the Allies knew that they needed a means of detecting the location of these deadly submarines. Radar could essentially “see” things as dots using radio waves, and although it was not created to specifically detect U-boats, it became a technological weapon that the allies could use for their benefit. Additionally, Sonar (Sound Navigation and Ranging) was built specifically to counteract the threat of underwater enemies such as the U-boats. Sonar uses sound waves to detect distant objects. Similar to radar, the use of sonar allowed the British surface fleet to detect the direction and depth of these submarines and destroy many of them. What makes these two technologies similar is that they both locate enemy ships using waves that could not be seen and they could do it at such a distance that the Germans would have no way of interfering and stopping them. This advanced technology was a detriment to the U-boats because the German Navy could no longer surprise the Allied forces.

The U.S. Navy is the largest, most powerful navy in the world, with the largest combined battle fleet. The Navy has one of the world’s largest aircraft carrier fleets, with ten in service and four in the reserve fleet. Some of the goals and missions of the Navy is to forecast and plan against any power conflicts, respond to any crisis cases, and direct actions with the Navy SEALS. The mission of the Navy is to train, equip for combat, deterring aggression and maintaining freedom of the seas (Office of Naval Intelligence,
