Focused on New Strategies, Navy Wants HTS Magnet System for Autonomous Mine Detection
In concert with a new strategy for autonomous technologies, the US Navy is launching a research project to develop a system based on a high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnetic source with an advanced acoustic generator to detect underwater magnetic influence mines. The Office of Naval Research expects to award one to three contracts priced between $12 to $20 million by next May in its Magnetic & Acoustic Generation Next Unmanned Superconducting Sweep (MAGNUSS) program.
