PANAMA CITY, Fla., Aug. 12 (UPI) -- The U.S. Navy's Naval Surface Warfare Center is preparing for the first major milestone of the Allied Munitions Detection Underwater program next month, when the service teams with Germany for a Baltic Sea mine mapping mission, the sea service said.
Mine warfare experts will take technology that includes acoustic and magnetic sensors to the Baltic Sea to operate with comparable German systems in order to learn from each other and advance the tech used to classify, detect and map bottom and buried munitions, Naval Sea Systems Command said in a statement Thursday.
