RTX was showcasing its Barracuda Mine Neutralization System for the first time at Sea Air Space 2025. Naval News' Carter Johnston talked to Bill Guarini, Naval Systems Directors at RTX to find out more about this new mine warfare system being developed for the U.S. Navy.
=====================
Barracuda is the U.S. Navy’s program of record for next-generation mine neutralization. It is a semi-autonomous system that uses sonar and camera systems to locate and neutralize undersea mine threats.
Raytheon was first awarded a contract for Barracuda in 2018. The program completed its critical design review in March 2023, and has now entered its qualification testing phase. In July 2023, Raytheon was awarded a contract to deliver engineering development model units to the U.S. Navy. The program will go into Low-Rate Initial Production in 2027.
