First Rapid Prototype Torpedo Warning System Testing On Board CVN

USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) and Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) PMS 415's Surface Ship Torpedo Defense (SSTD) team began at-sea testing and data collection of the Rapid Prototype Torpedo Warning System (TWS) and Countermeasure Anti-Torpedo (CAT) system, March 19.

This marks the first aircraft carrier employment of the TWS, which was installed during the ship's recent planned incremental availability (PIA) period.

Interessant dabei: Hinter CAT verbirgt sich ein Hard Kill System.

Ich frage mich warum es diese Ansätze erst jetzt gibt. Aktive Selbstverteidigungssysteme sind die Zukunft, ob zu Land, Wasser oder in der Luft.
