The AN/WLD-1(V)2 Remote Minehunting System (RMS) Remote Multi-Mission Vehicle (RMMV) tows the AN/AQS-20A.
The AN/AQS-20A has four modes of operation:
- Single Pass Shallow (SPS) Mode - Bottom and moored mine coverage in a single pass
- Single Pass Deep (SPD) Mode - Moored mine coverage in deep water
- Volume Mine (VOL) Mode - Volume mine coverage at four times the area search rate
- Identification (ID SPS) Mode - Bottom and moored mine coverage in a single pass plus optical imaging of bottom mines.
delivers high-definition images of bottom mines providing the operator with both range and contrast data that combines to form a three-dimensional image during post-mission analysis to aid in mine
identification.
The AN/AQS-20A modes enable the system to give timely and accurate information on the location and position of mines so they can be quickly neutralized by minesweepers and by the Airborne
Mine Neutralization System (AMNS).
