The MH-60 is described as capable of a variety of missions in addition to MCM operations. Which two MCM operations are specifically mentioned?

• A. Mine hunting with ALMDS and mine neutralization with AMNS
• B. Anti-submarine warfare and air-to-ground missiles
• C. Surface warfare and reconnaissance
• D. Electronic warfare and cyber operations

Answer: (A)

The MH-60’s MCM capability centers on both finding and defeating underwater threats from the air. The two operations specifically mentioned are mine hunting with the Airborne Laser Mine Detection System, which uses laser-based imaging to locate mines from above, and mine neutralization with the Airborne Mine Neutralization System, which deploys a remote-neutralization vehicle to approach and safely render the detected mine inert. Together, these allow rapid detection and secure clearance of minefields without divers. The other options describe different mission areas that aren’t part of the MCM tasks highlighted for the MH-60.
