AN/37U-1 Minesweeping System

AN/37U-1 equipment

     The AN/37U-1 Mechanical Minesweeping System is an improved moored minesweeping system that augments the MK-103.   The system is a diverted wire sweep with Mk17 Mod 1 cutters.   The sweep wires are diverted and maintained at preset depths by self-powered depressor and otter units.   Each depressor and otter is self-contained with its own alternator, depth sensor, servomotor, and electromechanical control circuitry and linkage.   The AN/37U-1 can also be transferred from helicopter to helicopter, ship to helicopter, and vice versa.
