Northrop Grumman was showcasing an actual prototype of the Very Light Weight Torpedo (VLWT) for the very first time in public, during the Sea Air Space 2021 exposition held earlier this month.
Northrop Grumman has successfully manufactured and tested the first industry-built Very Lightweight Torpedo (VLWT) for the U.S. Navy. The prototype torpedo is based on the Pennsylvania State University Applied Research Laboratory’s (PSU-ARL) design that was distributed to defense industrial manufacturers in 2016.
