The system is capable of accommodating a range of torpedoes currently in operation worldwide.

SEA has been appointed to supply its Torpedo Launcher System (TLS) to a multi-ship programme in South America.

The contract, announced on 3 March by SEA, follows the adoption of the system by the UK RN and other navies in regions including North America and South-East Asia.

According to the company, the TLS is capable of firing the US Mk 44, Mk 46 and Mk 54 torpedoes, UK Sting Ray, Italian A244S, French MU 90 and the Korean Blue Shark, and can also be configured to use other weapons on an individual basis.
