The MH-60S will utilize the BAE Systems Archerfish remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to seek out and destroy naval mines from the air.
Selected as a concept in 2003 by the Navy as part of the Airborne Mine Neutralization System (AMNS) program and developed since 2007, the Archerfish is dropped into the water from its launch cradle, where its human operator remotely guides it down towards the mine using a fiber optics communications cable that leads back up to the helicopter. Using sonar and low-light video, it locates the mine, and is then instructed to shoot a shaped charge explosive to detonate it.
BAE was awarded a contract to build and deliver the ROVs in April 2016.
[The USN is now up to the Mark 18 Mod 2 “Kingfish.” ROV is out of use, now it’s UUV.]

Gee whiz, so much cool stuff, if only Tom Clancy was still with us to make an excellent movie about it. Fred Thompson, if he was available, could have a memorable line or two.
