Mine countermeasures moving toward unmanned systems

Why does it seem that navies are giving up on mine countermeasures?

They are not: mine warfare remains critical, but the likely future model relies more on distributed unmanned systems than traditional specialist hulls.

Navies have not decided that mine warfare no longer matters. Mine countermeasures remain critical because an uncleared mine threat can deny ports, approaches, and landing areas to far more expensive forces. The delivery model is changing rather than the mission itself. Unmanned systems may distribute detection and clearance work across more conventional host hulls instead of concentrating it in a small number of large specialist plastic ships.
