Mission Autonomy in Mine Countermeasures: Coordinating the Uncrewed Fleet

In an era of contested seas and reduced tolerance for risk, mission level autonomy has become the backbone of effective defence operations. The rapid evolution of maritime mine warfare has driven navies to adopt increasingly autonomous approaches to mine countermeasures (MCM) and explosive ordnance disposal (EOD). As fleets move away from single‑platform operations toward coordinated […]

REMUS 620 and the Power of Modular Underwater Autonomy

One Platform, Many Missions. Maritime mine warfare continues to evolve, driving defence forces toward uncrewed, modular, and networked underwater systems that reduce risk to personnel while sustaining operational tempo in complex littoral environments. HII’s REMUS 620, a second-generation, medium-class Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV), is purpose-built for this shift: it combines multi-day endurance, open-architecture payload integration, […]
