Product Name: Knifefish Unmanned Undersea Vehicle
Manufacturer Name: General Dynamics
Product Description: Knifefish is a medium-class Mine Countermeasure (MCM) Unmanned Undersea Vehicle (UUV) developed by General Dynamics Mission Systems, designed for deployment from Littoral Combat Ships (LCS). This advanced UUV enhances mine-hunting operations by detecting, classifying, and identifying buried and high-clutter mines, while acting as an off-board sensor to keep sailors safely out of minefields. Its modular open systems architecture enables seamless integration with various ship systems and mission modules, supporting quick reconfiguration and intelligence gathering for other mine warfare systems. Knifefish plays a crucial role in reducing personnel risk and providing vital environmental data for broader mine warfare efforts.
