Abstract
The Navy is in need of an organic, inexpensive, swift method to neutralize
or sweep waterborne mines. This paper presents an alternative to current mine
countermeasure technologies that fulfill this criteria - the use of the Joint Direct
Attack Munition (JDAM) to clear a minefield. Our experimental and modeling
study strongly suggest high efficiency of the JABS for mine clearance in the very
shallow water (depth less than 12.2 m).
