Supersonic Missile-Assisted Release of Torpedo (SMART) System
Supersonic Missile-Assisted Release of Torpedo (SMART) System
✅It has been designed and developed by the Defence Research and Development Organisation.
✅It was launched from a ground mobile launcher from the Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Island off the Odisha coast.
Features
✅This missile-based mechanism to launch lightweight torpedoes can target submarines hundreds of kilometres away — far beyond the conventional range of lightweight torpedoes.
✅It will be particularly employed in the absence of other assets for immediate action when an enemy submarine is detected.
✅It is the canister-based missile system comprises several advanced subsystems including two-stage solid propulsion and precision inertial navigation.
✅It carries an advanced lightweight torpedo missile as a payload along with a parachute-based release mechanism.
✅Several state-of-the-art mechanisms, such as symmetric separation, ejection and velocity control, have been validated with this test.
