NAVSEA concludes Water Piercing Missile Launcher testing

By Richard Scott
20 May 2010
A team from the US Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) has successfully completed testing on the Water Piercing Missile Launcher (WPML) with a successful launch and fly-out of an AIM-9X surrogate missile at the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) in Crane, Indiana.

The WPML effort, while not a Department of Defense programme of record, is designed to test and validate the ability of a submerged submarine to engage hostile aircraft and small, fast surface ships with a slightly modified AIM-9X air-to-air missile that could be integrated into the attack and guided missile submarine fleets. A Raytheon-led team is in parallel separately pursuing the Littoral Warfare Weapon (LWW) programme, designed to prove the adaptation of the AIM-9X air-to-air missile for submerged launch.

According to NAVSEA's Undersea Technology Program Office (NAVSEA 073R), WPML technology could provide the submarine force with a universal underwater launch technology capable of employing currently deployed weapons and payloads without significant modification to the weapon itself. This requires a 'hole' to be punched through the water column to the broach point at the sea surface.
