U.S. Navy Selects Lockheed Martin to Provide High Altitude Launch Capability to MK-54 Torpedoes
The U.S. Navy awarded Lockheed Martin a 12-month contract to demonstrate delivery of the MK-54 lightweight torpedo from a P-3C aircraft operating at high altitudes (approximately 20,000) feet.
The High Altitude Anti-Submarine Warfare Weapons Concept (HAAWC) will use Lockheed's LongShot Wing Adapter Kit for the torpedo to glide to its normal launch altitude close to the surface.
