Which is NOT an LCS MCM MP Mission Module?

• A. Near Surface Detection Mission Module
• B. Airborne Mine Neutralization Mission Module
• C. Unmanned Mine Disposal Mission Module
• D. Unmanned Minesweeping Mission Module

Answer: (C)

The Mine Countermeasures Mission Package for the LCS is built around modular capability blocks that detect and neutralize mines using unmanned systems and air-delivered tools. The listed modules that actually exist focus on locating mines near the surface, neutralizing them from the air, and providing unmanned sweeping capability to clear a path through a minefield. There isn’t a separate stand-alone “Unmanned Mine Disposal” module in the MCM MP. Disposal or defeat of mines is handled through the combination of near-surface detection, aerial neutralization, and unmanned sweeping, not by a distinct disposal module. That’s why the unmanned mine disposal option is the one that does not fit as an MCM MP module.
