Airborne Mine Neutralization System (AMNS)      The Airborne Mine Neutralization System (AMNS) is deployed from an airborne platform to explosively neutralize sea mines previously located by minehunting systems.   The operator, located in the helicopter, uses the vehicle sonar to reacquire the target.    The operator then uses video for situational information to guide the expendable to the optimal position for firing a self-contained shaped charge. The charge is then fired, thus neutralizing the mine.
