HAAWC

Abstract

The program will design, develop, and procure a High Altitude Anti-Submarine Warfare Weapon Capability (C-HAAWC) Air Launch Accessory (ALA) for the MK 54 MOD 2 Lightweight Torpedo (LWT). This capability will allow fixed-wing employment of the MK 54 MOD 2 torpedo in the same manner as the HAAWC allows for the MK 54 MOD 0/1 Torpedoes: at high altitude, with stand-off ranges, and the ability for precision guidance to the intended water entry point (WEP) without affecting the in-water operation of the torpedo. The MK 54 MOD 2 is not compatible with current HAAWC design due to having different mass properties and outer mold line from the MOD 0/1 LWT. FY 23 funding will be utilized to conduct requirements analysis and development for a common HAAWC solution and solicitation in FY23 for the award of a development contract.
