Multipurpose
Heavy Weight Torpedo
„„ To be launched from submarines, ships or shore based platforms against
underwater and surface targets in confined littoral, dense multiple target/
jammer/decoy scenarios and blue water operations.
Guidance „„ From full autonomous mode to full manual operator mode.
Homing „„ Active, passive, combined (active/passive) acoustic homing, intercept
homing and wake homing.
Fuse „„ Impact and inductive proximity fuse, independent from sea state.
Speed „„ Very high speed to encounter present and future scenarios. In relation to
homing mode continious speed control.
Range „„ Extreme unmatched endurance and guided range far beyond the
platforms sensor range.
Calibre „„ Standard calibre of 21 inch (533 mm).
Length with casket
(standard version):
„„ ~ 6,22 m
Weight with casket
(standard version):
„„ ~ 1530 kg
Support
„„ Full life time support for new built platforms and refit programs including
integration, operation, training, spares, maintenance and exercise firings.
„„ Already integrated in 209 class, 212A/214 class, S-80 class and Agosta 90B
class submarines.
„„ The Sensor-to-Shooter concept is a product of ATLAS ELEKTRONIK and
covers the functional chain from the wet-end sensor-suite via the
Command and Control System and operators consoles to the effector.
