Description

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has a requirement for the ORGANIC AIRBORNE AND SURFACE INFLUENCE SWEEP (OASIS). OASIS will satisfy the U.S. Navy's need for a rapid coverage mine clearance capability required to sweep influence mines. The sweep system will be deployed from and towed by the Navy's CH-60S helicopter and be adaptable to being towed by a surface platform. This new system will meet the Navy's requirements for a new in-stride organic sweep system and thereby provide organic airborne mine defense for the carrier battle groups and amphibious ready groups. The minesweep system will consist of both a magnetic and acoustic component, and if necessary, power supplies or generators. At this time, all the following technologies are being considered, but not limited to: conventional electromagnet coils, superconducting coils, magnetic tails, acoustic transducers, and novel technologies such as pulse power systems. NAVSEA will release a DRAFT Solicitation for industry comment on or about 11 September 2000. The DRAFT solicitation will be posted on the INTERNET.
