US Navy Mine Hunting System
Keeping US warfighters and vessels safe
For many years the United States Navy has operated various seabed and open ocean mine hunting systems as part of its national security mission. Through the years these systems have increased in sophistication, complexity and effectiveness. Colmek is proud of its contributions to these important defensive systems.
AN/AQS-24 Mine Hunting System
The AN/AQS-14 Mine hunting system is a helicopter towed SONAR array incorporating SONAR, laser and acoustic payload configurations used in the detection and classification of oceanic mine threats. The system consists of the tow-fish, tow cable/umbilical and tow vehicle, most commonly the MH-53 Sea Stallion helicopter.
