Archerfish expendable mine neutraliser

Archerfish is a remote-controlled underwater mine neutraliser that is manufactured by BAE Systems Maritime Services. Archerfish uses sonar and video to find sea mines, then fires a warhead with a shaped charge to destroy them, reducing the need for human beings to enter minefields.

Service history
Archerfish is currently in service with the US Navy. In 2023, South Korea became the second country to operate Archerfish when Korea Aerospace Industries awarded BAE Systems a contract to provide a complete mine countermeasure capability, which will form part of the Republic of Korea Navy’s new anti-mine helicopter fleet.
