Airborne MCM
Hi,
I have some questions about AMCM. I will be thankful if I can get the answers. Also please note any e-mail addresses or sources related to the professional side of AMCM. There is only technical info at AMP-7 or some other kind of publications, not many tactical things. Because of this reason I needed to get answers to my questions below. 1. What is the altitude of helo during sweeping or hunting ops? Does it differ due to the type of ops? 2. What is the calculation method for clearance percentage in an area? How do you find detection probability (B)? 3. Do you know the details the use method of laser in AMCM? Thanks... |

The only MCM helo that I know about is the MH-53 and I am not sure if they
are even in the inventory anymore. They used to drag a sled around behind the helo and the sled was energized by a generator on-board the helo. The electric field generated by the sled was supposed to be enough to set off the mines. Anyway, the distance from the helo to the sled was dictated by the electrical requirements of the generator/sled setup and the helo could not be too far away. So the answer to your first question is "not very high". Don't know the answers to 2 & 3. J cem wrote in message om... Hi, I have some questions about AMCM.

Many thanks to all your kind answers. Especially the related article
is very useful Mr.Moore. I will be glad if you can tell me the altitude of mcm helo during any kind of operation. Does the altitude differ due to the type of operation or is there a fixed altitude? And also I want to learn tactical details about AMCM apart from the allied publications like sweep width and etc. Thanks again... |

altitude of mcm helo during any kind of operation. Does the altitude differ due to the type of operation or is there a fixed altitude? And also I want to learn tactical details (1) enlist and get a clearance and work in this field. or (2) get a commission, get a clearance, and work in this field. or (3) explain why you would need this info? |

(3) explain why you would need this info?
Although I coudn't get the exact answer, I will tell u. I investigate AMCM but I cannot reach these info. So I tried to get info in this platform. I think a specialist officer can inform me about tactical content. Thanks.. |

I think a specialist officer can inform me about tactical content. Thanks.. I think this may need to be said simply to cross the language barrier. The information you are asking for may be classified, or at least sensitive. When someone asks for detailed information (specific altitudes, speeds, etc.), about how military units conduct operations, this raises questions about their motives. While you may just be curious, it's not hard to imagine that an enemy might want this kind of information to set a trap for an airborne MCM helicopter. -- Tom Schoene Replace "invalid" with "net" to e-mail "If brave men and women never died, there would be nothing special about bravery." -- Andy Rooney (attributed) |
