US navy has paid great attention on the research of MCM strategy and the development of MCM equipment. The distinguish between dedicated MCM and organic MCM equipment will diminished gradually. Utilization of modular,common,and netted unmanned systems will enable the transition of US MCM equipment from platform centered to capability centered. Specifically speaking,the future MCM force of U.S. navy will comprise focused-mission littoral combat ships(LCS),vessels of opportunity that are equipped with MCM mission packages,and expeditionary mine warfare group with different UUVs.
