This paper examines the Navy's current electro-optical systems involved in mine countermeasures to establish a baseline for critical environmental parameters which affect their performance. Having established this baseline of system-related parameters, we examine the current generation of environmental measuring capabilities to determine what further developments are needed to cover the shortfall in capability. A suite of measurements is then proposed, which will allow the Navy a performance-predictive capability to assess the expected operation of the sensors.
This paper illustrates various issues involved in the use of imagery in mine warfare. Particular emphasis is given to environmental factors which can create false alarms.
