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.

Naval Systems

Northrop Grumman is the leader in the design, development and production of wet-end sensors, signal processing and complete anti-submarine warfare systems. And we continue to develop advanced shipboard radar, track management, electronic warfare and other systems to counter increasingly sophisticated sea-based threats.
