The Royal Navy has initiated a search for a Long Range Anti-Submarine Warfare Weapon (LRAW) resembling India's SMART system, utilizing Mk41 Vertical Launching Systems (VLS). Designed by DRDO, India's SMART integrates a lightweight torpedo with a two-stage propulsion for extended range. This mirrors the Royal Navy's interest in missile-based delivery systems for ASW operations. The alignment in technological approach hints at potential collaboration between the two nations, fostering advancements in anti-submarine warfare capabilities and maritime security.
