Long-Term Mine Reconnaissance System
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Long-Term Mine Reconnaissance System (LMRS) is a torpedo tube-launched and tube-recovered underwater search and survey unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV) capable of performing autonomous minefield reconnaissance as much as 200 kilometers (120 miles) in advance of a host Los Angeles-, Seawolf-, or Virginia-class submarine.
LMRS is equipped with both forward-looking sonar and side-scan synthetic aperture sonar.
Boeing concluded the detailed design phase of the development project on 31 August 1999. In January 2006, USS Scranton (SSN-756) successfully demonstrated homing and docking of a LMRS UUV system during at-sea testing.[1]
