ALMDS stands for which system?

• A. Airborne laser mine detection system
• B. Airborne Mine Neutralization System
• C. Unmanned Surface Vessel
• D. MINENet Tactical

Answer: (A)

The thing being tested is recognizing what the acronym ALMDS stands for and what that system does. ALMDS is an Airborne Laser Mine Detection System. It denotes an airborne sensor package that uses a laser-based method to detect mines from the air, typically mounted on platforms associated with the Littoral Combat Ship mission package. The name itself reflects its function: Airborne (operating from the air), Laser (the sensing method), Mine (target), Detection (function), System (a complete package). The other options describe different mine-warfare systems: an airborne system that neutralizes mines (not detects them), an unmanned surface vessel, and a separate mine-warfare network, none of which match the ALMDS acronym.
