GDMS Knifefish Unmanned Undersea Vehicle Successfully Completes Mine-hunting Evaluation

The General Dynamics Mission Systems Knifefish team successfully completed a comprehensive evaluation of Knifefish, an autonomous surface mine countermeasure (SMCM) unmanned undersea vehicle (UUV). In coordination with the U.S. Navy, the test events took place off the coast of Boston using submerged Navy mine test targets. The evaluation represents a significant milestone in the Knifefish program and demonstrates the UUV’s
capability to detect and classify potential mines, at a variety of depths, each posing a unique threat to naval vessels operating in a mission area.
