摘要: MK48系列重型鱼雷是美国海军长期重点发展的一项水中兵器, 近年来有了许多新的研发进展。文中总结概括了美国海军MK48系列鱼雷的发展过程与现状, 介绍了其最新研发进展; 分析了MK48重型鱼雷的技术发展路线, 重点介绍了隐身鱼雷强化项目、鱼雷先进推进系统和通用宽带先进声呐系统等几项关键发展计划的研究成果及应用; 最后对MK48鱼雷未来发展路线的主要特征进行了分析, 并指出联合作战或将是MK48鱼雷的一种新应用场景。Abstract: The MK48 series heavyweight torpedo is a type of undersea weapon and it has gained considerable popularity from the U.S Navy. Furthermore, it has undergone considerable development in recent years. This paper reviews the development process and current situation of MK48 heavyweight torpedo and discusses the current progress of its research and development. Furthermore, the development routes of MK48 torpedo are analyzed, and the research results and application of three key developmental projects, namely: stealth torpedo enhancement program (STEP), torpedo advanced propulsion system(TAPS), and common broadband advanced sonar system(CBASS) are emphatically introduced. Finally, the main characteristic of its future development routes is preliminarily analyzed, and it is concluded that joint operations may be a novel application of MK48 torpedo.
