MK 54 Lightweight Torpedo and High-Altitude
Anti‑Submarine Warfare Capability (HAAWC)



The High-Altitude Anti-Submarine Warfare Weapons
Capability (HAAWC) program, designed to deliver the
MK 54 torpedo from the cruising altitude of a P-8A aircraft,
completed initial contractor flight testing and is scheduled to
complete safe separation testing of HAAWC from the P-8A in
2017.

Initial integration testing began in 2016 and continued
in 2017 with the first test release of a HAAWC from a P-8A
planned for December 2017.

The Navy has not approved a
Test and Evaluation Master Plan (TEMP) for the HAAWC
program. The Navy completed a HAAWC Milestone C
acquisition decision in December 2017 without conducting an
independent operational assessment.

• The LFT&E assessment of this weapon remains unchanged
from 2016. The Navy should outline an evaluation plan that
provides a more detailed assessment


im messing around with this atm if i get it working well will it will give aircraft the ability to launch torpedo's to a designated spot then deploy them so in my game it will be like a :

RUR-5 ASROC

or a

SS-N-16

but for aircraft

this will greatly Enhance the aircraft in cold waters as they will no longer need to fly over head to drop their torpedo's

this Combined with my Ongoing air to surface Missiles Project will give Air Born Assets more Firepower In ColdWaters


As they will be able to shoot surface targets & deploy weapons either at Range or Over Head if Depth Bombs
