Technologies of unmanned underwater vehicles and hydroacoustic systems for unmanned mine protection systems

Sea mines are very effective and inexpensive weapons. The leading maritime powers are developing mine action forces as part of programs to modernize sonar and navigation equipment and create complexes of surface and underwater unmanned systems that, unlike trawling techniques, can neutralize minefields from a safe distance. The article examines one of the options for a ship-based mine protection system with a specific set of technical means that allows for effective and safe search, identification and destruction of mines.
