The MK-58 Compact Rapid Attack Weapon which is to serve both as an offensive and defensive hard-kill anti-torpedo munition will likely be the first of two new torpedoes to make it into service, beating out the U.S. Navy’s RAPTOR low cost heavyweight torpedo meant to augment current MK-48 ADCAP inventories.

Revolver seeks to multi-pack dozens of CRAW torpedoes into Virginia-class 21-inch torpedo tubes.

TI-1 is also driving development of the Revolver MP and Reloader, as well as capabilities to launch torpedoes from vertical launch cells equipped on Virginia-class attack submarines. CRAW torpedoes developed under TI-1 will remain in the fleet as a residual operational capability, and TI-2 will become the main torpedo of choice in the CRAW family.


TI-2, Raytheon-led, will improve on TI-1 to improve mass production potential while adding additional capabilities to the weapon, like counter-torpedo capability for both submarines and surface ships.
