KUWAIT (April 17, 2016)-Sailors and civilian personnel with Commander, Task Force 52 Mine Hunting Unit unload an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV), loaded with an AQS-24A sonar, from the USNS Choctaw County (T-EPF-2) before demonstrating a remote sonar deployment in support of the International Mine Countermeasures Exercise (IMCMEX). IMCMEX is focused on maritime security from the port of origin to the port of arrival and includes scenarios that range from mine countermeasures, infrastructure protection and maritime security operations in support of civilian shipping. IMCMEX demonstrates new technologies, such as USV and the sealift capability of USNS Choctaw County (T-EPF 2), to protect freedom of navigation and the free flow of commerce.
