Archerfish
Archerfish is a single shot mine disposal system that is operated from both ships and helicopters.
Fiber-optic guided, the Archerfish acquires the target by activating its own short range sonar and video link enabling the operator to accurately position the neutralizer to the threat mine and detonate it with its directed energy warhead.
Archerfish negates the requirement for a large, expensive MCM ROV and is up to four times faster at clearing mines.
Archerfish has been selected as the common neutralizer for the U.S. Navy. |
