Lightweight Torpedo Development
Abstract
Lightweight Torpedo Program designs, integrates and tests the Lightweight Torpedo (LWT, MK54). The LWT provides performance improvements in shallow water, counter-measure environments. The Engineering Development Model (EDM) contract was awarded to Raytheon Systems Company in June 1996. The EDM contract has delivered twenty-one EDM units to support the in-water test program. Initial Operating Capability (IOC) of the MK 54 Mod 0 was achieved in 2004. IOC of the MK 54 equipped VLA was achieved in 2010. Budget supports Pre-Planned Product Improvement (P3I) Program using an incremental developmental acquisition approach combining hardware and Advanced Processor Build (APB) software upgrades to enable rapid fielding of improvements to the Fleet. The P3I program will focus on common LWT and Heavyweight Torpedo (HWT) hardware and software architecture enhancements that will provide re-architecture, broadband array improvements, Block Upgrade (BUG), and APB software improvements. Future APB software builds will utilize the common torpedo software to deliver software and tactics to both the MK 48 Advanced Capability (ADCAP) and MK 54 Lightweight torpedoes. The P3I program will also support development of enhanced weapon delivery methods, including the high altitude launch of the MK 54 from Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) with the High Altitude Anti-Submarine Warfare Weapon Capability (HAAWC).
