Compact Rapid Attack Weapon (CRAW) Development Design and Integration

Abstract

The CRAW program will deliver a new very-lightweight torpedo system to the Submarine Fleet that provides enhanced Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Anti-Torpedo Torpedo (ATT) mission capabilities. Two incremental Technology Insertions (TIs), TI-1 and TI-2, will be used to deliver developmental prototypes to support an operationally relevant demonstration, Development Testing, and Operational Testing. The TI-1 effort will rapidly develop a fieldable system with prototype very-lightweight torpedoes that will be demonstrated in an operationally relevant environment in FY26. The TI-2 program is being phased with the TI-1 effort so that the TI-2 program can fully leverage the TI-1 prototypes as proof of design hardware. This will reduce overall cost of the TI-2 program as the TI-2 program will move immediately into development of proof of manufacturing prototypes to support Development Testing that will begin in FY26.
