In news– Recently, a supersonic missile assisted torpedo system developed by DRDO was successfully launched from Wheeler Island in Odisha.

About the missile-

  • It  is a next generation missile-based standoff torpedo delivery system.
  • It has been designed to enhance anti-submarine warfare capability far beyond the conventional range of the torpedo. 
  • Torpedoes are self-propelled weapons that travel underwater to hit the target and can be fired from either above or under the water surface.
  • This canister-based missile system consists of advanced technologies viz. two stage solid propulsion, electro-mechanical actuators and precision inertial navigation.
  • This SMART system comprises a mechanism by which the torpedo is launched from an existing supersonic missile system — by making complex modifications in it — which takes the torpedo to a much longer range than its own.

  • The system also gives flexibility in terms of the launch platform that comes with the missile system.
  • A number of DRDO laboratories  have developed technologies required for SMART system, they are: 
    • Defence Research and Development Laboratory (DRDL) Hyderabad.
    • Research Center Imarat (RCI) Hyderabad.
    • Aerial Delivery Research and Development Establishment (ADRDE) Agra 
    • Naval Science and Technology Laboratory (NSTL) Visakhapatnam. 
  • The anti-submarine warfare assets consist of deployment of submarines, specialized anti-submarine ships, air assets and state of the art reconnaissance and detection mechanisms.
  • It was the second  successful test of the SMART system,  its maiden successful test in October last year.
  • The recent launch was a text book launch, where the entire trajectory was monitored by the electro optic telemetry system, various range radars, including the down range instrumentation and down range ships.
