Seawolf VL
Seawolf VL
The Seawolf is a short range, fast reaction, supersonic, surface to air missile intended for ship self-defense against incoming anti-ship missiles. Seawolf is optimized to face multiple missile attack and is accurate enough to intercept 114mm shells. The Seawolf is guided by a special ship's tracker sub-system which locks on the target and guides the Seawolf missile up to intercept using highly accurate command to line of sight guidance. The vertical launch Seawolf propulsion system combines a booster and a rocket motor, the ramp launch Seawolf only has the second rocket motor. The guidance antennas are placed on the missile rear-face wings providing a high resistance to countermeasures. The vertical launch Seawolf, also known as VL Seawolf, missiles introduced in 1990 are the third generation of the Seawolf missile. They are stored in sealed launch canisters. Seawolf missiles are armed with a blast fragmentation warhead and a proximity fuze. The missiles were combat proven during the Falklands war in 1982 successfully intercepting several Argentinian Exocet missiles and have been installed on the Royal Navy Type 22 (12 Seawolf) and Type 23 (32 vertical launch Seawolf) frigates, and the Royal Malaysian Navy lightweight frigates built by BAe Systems.
