HAAWC

Abstract

The program will design, develop, and procure a High Altitude Anti-Submarine Warfare Weapon Capability (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 HAAWC program will focus on development of a HAAWC that will be compatible with the MK 54 MOD 2 ALWT, aligned with the MK 54 MOD 2 fleet delivery schedule. The program will investigate the potential for a common HAAWC design for all MK 54 MODs.
