 The AN/SLQ-48 detects, locates, classifies, and neutralizes moored mines and mines resting on the seabed.The vehicle uses high-frequency, high-resolution sonar, low light level television (LLLTV), cable cutters, and explosive charges to detect and dispose of mines, while remaining tethered to the vessel by a cable and under control of the vessel.The ATK/Raytheon ROV is a similar system, but has a tether cable, and also carries cable cutters for dealing with tethered or moored mines, and explosive charges to detonate the mines.
