Major companies in the anti-submarine warfare system market are developing advanced technologies, such as anti-submarine torpedoes, to counter evolving submarine threats and enhance maritime security. An anti-submarine torpedo is designed to destroy or damage submarines. For instance, in September 2023, BAE Systems, a UK-based defense, aerospace, and information security solutions provider, in partnership with Malloy Aeronautics, a UK-based manufacturer of military drone systems, launched an inert Sting Ray training variant anti-submarine torpedo. This torpedo has electric-powered vertical take-off and landing capabilities, can transport payloads of up to 200kg, achieve speeds of 140 km/h, and cover distances of 80km, depending on the payload. It is designed for easy disassembly to facilitate transportation, with dimensions similar to a small car.
