What can I say? Your defense budget % of GDP is half that of US.

True, but as Robert Gates said, the time of "endless money" in the pentagon is over. And with hundreds of billions in defence cuts, the LCS should sleep with one eye open. *wink*

U.S. Navy's LCS Remote
Minehunting System
Completes Developmental
Testing
The remote minehunting system (RMS) successfully completed developmental testing, Dec. 9. The objective of the developmental testing (DT) was to demonstrate that the RMS met reliability, suitability and effectiveness requirements. Preliminary analyses of the results indicate that the RMS operated as expected and the test objectives were achieved.

"This at-sea test milestone validates the success of our RMS reliability growth program," said Steve Lose, program manager for the RMS. "The system's performance during the DT gives me confidence we are ready to proceed to the operational assessment phase." The RMS consists of the remote multi-mission vehicle (RMMV) and the towed AN/AQS-20A variable depth sonar. The system's purpose is to provide detection, classification, and localization of bottom, close-tethered, and volume mines in a single pass, as well as provide identification of bottom mines. The RMS will be deployed on the littoral combat ship (LCS) as a component of the LCS mine countermeasures (MCM) mission package (MP). With the RMS, the Navy will be able to keep its ships out of the minefield while conducting mine-hunting operations.
