IHI：
「機雷を検出する無人水中ビークル (UUV) 」を開発。
海上自衛隊（JMSDF）に、納入されます。
千葉で開催されるDSEI Japan 2023でJanesに語った.
“Two units of the UUV are in service with the Japan Coast Guard,” the official said. IHI has also entered into a research and development (R&D) partnership with the JMSDF for the UUV
and plans to provide at least one unit of the system to the JMSDF in 2024, the official added.
According to company specifications, the UUV is 5 m in length and weighs about 990 kg.
It has a speed of up to 4 kt, an endurance of up to 24 hours, and a maximum operational depth of 3,000 m.
The UUV works
in conjunction with a semi-submersible unmanned surface vessel (USV), also developed by IHI.The company said that
once the UUV has received command from a mother vessel to obtain information necessary for mine identification in a particular target area,the UUV “observes the target area
in detail through an optical video camera, while keeping its position parallel to the tide,
and then sends an optical image of [any mine-like detected] object to the mother vessel by way of the semi-submersible USV, allowing the mother vessel to identify mines in the sea”.

MHI: to take delivery of OZZ-5 mine-countermeasures UUV！
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI)：
is set to deliver its first OZZ-5 mine-countermeasures (MCM) unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) to the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF).
Company officials told Janes at the DSEI Japan 2023 exhibition in Chiba that
the first of five on-order OZZ-5 systems will be supplied to the JMSDF by the end of March.
The initial five OZZ-5s are all expected to be delivered by the end of 2024.
MHI officials said
the JMSDF will operate unmanned surface vessels (USVs) – also built by MHI – that deploy from the service’s Mogami-class frigates.Janes understands that
the OZZ-5 will be operated by the JMSDF around Japan’s disputed southern islands.The Japanese Ministry of Defense (MoD) initiated a project
to develop an MCM UUV in the late 2000s, leading to MHI’s development of the OZZ-5 in 2017.
MHI said the development programme was completed in 2021.
Since then,
MHI has collaborated on the programme with Thales, which has integrated its SAMDIS high-resolution synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) onto the OZZ-5.SAMDIS is a high-frequency, high-resolution SAS payload designed specifically
to perform detection, classification, and localisation of mine threats.
The SAMDIS integration programme
is supported by a Japan-France defence technology agreement signed in 2018.In fiscal year (FY) 2022,
Japan’s MoD allocated JPY1.2 billion (USD9 million) for the procurement of the OZZ-5.In FY 2023, the procurement project received JPY4.5 billion, indicating that additional OZZ-5 units will be procured.
MHI has not elaborated on the scope of future supplies to the JMSDF.
