The invention concerns a group of vessels (24), having an unmanned surface vessel (3) and an unmanned underwater vessel (1, 1a), wherein the underwater vessel comprises a location device, in particular a sonar device, for sensing location data (12) in the underwater area and one evaluation unit or more evaluation units, and the evaluation unit or the evaluation units are arranged in such a manner that these comprise detection means (20) for detecting (14) a contact (MILEC) with the aid of the sensed location data (12) and with classification means (21) for classifying (15) the detected contact (MILEC) as a mine-like contact (MILCO) or non mine-like contact (NONMILCO), whereby classification is accomplished by comparing the contact (MILEC) with known mine information so that a mine-like contact (MILCO) can be identified as a mine contact (MINE) or as another object (NOMBO).

1. A group of vessels having an unmanned surface vessel and an unmanned autonomous underwater vessel, wherein the surface vessel has a drive and a control device, which is arranged in such a manner that the surface vessel is steered with regard to the autonomous underwater vessel taking the behavior of the autonomous underwater vessel into account, and the autonomous underwater vessel comprises a sonar device, for sensing location data in the underwater area and one or more evaluation units, the evaluation units arranged in such a manner so as to include a detection device for detecting a contact (MILEC) by the sensed location data, and a classification device for classifying the detected contact (MILEC) as a mine-like contact (MILCO) or a non-mine-like contact (NONMILCO), wherein the classification is accomplished by comparing the contact (MILEC) with known mine information so that a mine-like contact (MILCO) can be identified as a mine contact (MINE) or as another object (NOMBO) and an area of sea can be autonomously cleared. 2. A group of vessels in accordance with claim 1, wherein the autonomous underwater vessel is connected to the unmanned surface vessel by signal transmissions, wherein the connection is realized by an optical fiber cable. 3. A group of vessels in accordance with claim 1, wherein the sonar device comprises a plurality of sonar devices or sonar systems. 4. A group of vessels in accordance with claim 1, wherein the surface vessel carries drones equipped with explosive charges for destroying sea mines. 5. A group of vessels in accordance with claim 1, comprising a second group of underwater vessels. 6. A sea mine detection system comprising a group of vessels in accordance with claim 1 and a support platform, whereby the support platform and the surface vessel are connected for the purpose of data exchange. 7. A sea mine detection system in accordance with claim 6, comprising a plurality of groups of vessels, each with one surface vessel and at least one autonomous underwater vessel. 8. An aircraft comprising a group of vessels according to claim 1.
