    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.
