Dropped by Lynx and Merlin helicopters, Sting Ray is a small lightweight torpedo designed to destroy enemy submarines.
Sting Ray Torpedo
Sting Ray weighs seven times less than torpedoes fired by submarines, racing through the water at more than 50mph at targets half a dozen miles away, delivering a 100lb explosive charge powerful enough to punch through the double hulls of modern submarines.
Once Sting Ray is fired it uses the information provided initially by the helicopter and gathers fresh intelligence on its target using its sonar and onboard software which is designed not to be fooled by the enemy submarine’s decoys.
