Missile designed to target submerged vessels
K745A1 Red Shark missile cutaway. The missile used a K745 Blue Shark as warhead.
An anti-submarine missile mission profile
An anti-submarine missile is a standoff anti-submarine weapon , often a specialized variant of anti-ship missile . Anti-submarine missile usually include a jet or rocket engine and a warhead aimed directly at a submarine . In these missiles, a torpedo or a depth charge is used as a warhead.
History [ edit ]
SMART (Supersonic Missile Assisted Release of Torpedo) Launch
The Malafon , used by the French Navy between 1966 and 1997, used a rocket-assisted glider to carry a torpedo up to 8 nautical miles (13 km) after launch.
Depth charges were the earliest weapons designed for use by ships against submerged submarines . These explosives were initially dropped as the ship moved over the presumed location of a submarine. Before World War II, shipboard sonar was unable to maintain contact with a submarine at close range.
Various mortar -type projectors, including Hedgehog and Squid , were devised during World War II to allow a ship to maintain sonar contact while lobbing explosive charges toward the submarine.[1]
During the Cold War , missiles were developed to provide greater range with reduced recoil . Some missiles and rockets, such as Red Shark carry homing torpedoes to provide terminal guidance for the warhead .[2]
The advantage of an anti-submarine missile is the attack stand-off range. The Swedish Bofors 375mm m/50 Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) rockets, in the past commonly used by Sweden, France, Japan and Germany for instance, can travel as far as 3600m depending on the rocket used.[3] The USSR developed its own anti-submarine rockets in the RBU series and these are still in use in Russia and in countries using Russian designed ships. Today anti-submarine rockets have been phased out in most western navies, replaced by the Homing ASW Torpedo.
Examples [ edit ]
Ikara , an Australian -designed missile used by several navies between the 1960s and 1990s; a rocket -parachute delivery system carried an acoustic torpedo up to 10 nautical miles (19 km) after launch. A variant re-designed in the UK and used by the Royal Navy could deliver a nuclear depth charge .
Japanese Type 07 VL-ASROC missile launched from vertical launching system .
