Mine Sweeping Acoustic Device

Mine Sweeping Acoustic Devices are specialized equipment used for detecting and neutralizing underwater mines. They are part of the Degaussing and Mine Sweeping Equipment class, which falls under the Weapons supply group.

These devices use acoustic signals to locate and identify underwater mines. They emit sound waves into the water, and when these waves encounter a mine, they bounce back and are detected by the device. The device then analyzes the received signals to determine the presence and location of the mines.

Once the mines are detected, additional measures can be taken to neutralize them, such as deploying remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) or divers to physically remove or disarm the mines.

Mine Sweeping Acoustic Devices are crucial in naval operations to ensure the safety of ships and submarines by clearing potential minefields. They play a vital role in maintaining maritime security and enabling safe passage for military and civilian vessels.
