That's brilliant. Going to get some attention for sure

GTX_Admin:
There are a number of similar options put forward:

Lockheed Martin Longshot:




Raytheon Fish Hawk:




I believe the Indian were also looking at something:  Glider Assisted Torpedo, NSTL Visakhapatnam



A lot of this is driven by the fact that the P-8 is intended to be able to deploy such weapons from up to 30,000 ft - no more doing a low level straight in torpedo run!

GTX_Admin:
BTW, an interesting thought with these kits: one could fit them to other items...and not just weapons.  What about a guided, deployable supply container?

kitnut617:
A question, once the torpedo enters the water, do these wings detach, or can they remain fixed so the torpedo could ""fly"" through the water
