 introduction

 Self propelled under water missiles .

 Its own guidance system.
 Also used as parts of other weapons.
 Designed to detonate on contact or in
proximity to a target.
 The torpedoes used against submarines
are shorter and lighter .
 Fired from torpedo tube

Functional Description of Torpedoes

 Engines / Turbines / Motors

 Propulsive agent
 Fuel
 Depth control
 Gyroscope
 Pattern of Propulsion
 Exploder mechanisms
Pattern of Propulsion

 Straight line
 Fanwise pattern
 Zig zag / spiral
 Wire guided
 Homing torpedo
 Active acoustic torpedo
Exploder mechanisms

 Physical impact
 Acoustic influence
 Magnetic influence
 Optical influence
TORPEDO TUBE

 To fire torpedo
 Use compressed air
 The tube supplies only the initial impulse
for its start.
 Structure
