UT-1 ADCAP Torpedo

The Naval Forces were in need of a main torpedo that went farther, and did more damage. The Shaitan Corporation, therefore, designed and developed the UT-1 and the UT-1 ADCAP, which is the first of it's series. Although there other versions, and other models in it's series; the UT-1 ADCAP is regarded by the Navy to be the most used torpedoes in it's service. They may be launched from submarines, surface ships, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft. It is carried by all Navy submarines.

The UT-1 ADCAP is powered by a solid fuel rocket with MHD propulsion assistance. With the cavitation absorber and MHD (Magnetohydrodynamic drive) assistance to the rocket motor gives the torpedo more power, more range, and more stealth as opposed to your traditional torpedo. The UT-1 ADCAP features ground-breaking, High-Speed, Supercavitating technologies in it's propulsion system. The High-speed, Long-ranged torpedo offers the Navy great tactical advantage for Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) by giving it speeds of about ten times the rate of a normal torpedo. The body of the torpedo was with speed and stealth in mind. With a more round approach to the hull, along with rocketing to the target at a max speed of 2050 knots, with a range of 80nm, it provides the Navy with a clear advantage over most torpedo systems. It may sound like science fiction, however, an even faster projectile was first launched in 1997 by scientists at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Newport, Rhode Island. It was the first ever undersea projectile to break the sound barrier.

The original UT-1 uses a shaped charge high explosive warhead, and Naval commanders almost deemed it obsolete when looking at new modern titanium hulls being used. The Shaitan Corporation also decided that there needed to be a change in power. The UT-1 ADCAP has a 350kg Octanitrocubane (ONC) warhead, with an armor piercing (hull piercing) tip; delivering a harsh bite. Octanitrocubane is a high explosive, that delivers a 20 to 25 percent greater performance than HMX (octogen); the state-of-the-art military explosive used in many current systems. The new warhead and speed of the torpedo will penetrate most hull designs with one torpedo.

Like previous torpedo designs, the UT-1 ADCAP has a wire guidance capability that allows the parent ship to guide the torpedo with it's systems. The UT-1 ADCAP, when not operating with wire guidance, it can operate it's own active/passive RADAR and/or LIDAR, and execute programmed target search, acquisition and attack procedures. Both the UT-1 and the UT-1 ADCAP have this feature, and both can conduct multiple reattacks if they miss the target.

CT/AATT-1 Torpedo (Counter-Torpedo)

The Navy was in need of counter-torpedo systems. The Shaitan Corporation answered with a number of different technologies, designed to defend against possible water munition attack. One of these systems is the newest Counter-Torpedo Torpedoes. The CT/AATT-1 is the latest of these torpedoes, and have been proved to be effective against torpedoes and other water munitions such as mines. Designed with speed and accuracy in mind, the torpedoes are a smaller, and more hydrodynamic than regular Naval torpedoes. The new hydrodynamic design allows it to cut through the water, go faster. The torpedo is powered by a solid fuel rocket with MHD propulsion assistance, using High-Speed, Supercavitating technologies. The lightweight, hydrodynamic, and supercavitating design allows it to speed to it's target at an astonishing top speed of 400 knots, and a short range of 5 miles. The torpedo has a 80 pound HMX (octogen) warhead; well enough to disable a torpedo or mini-submarine. The torpedo is guided by either parent ship guided wire, or RADAR/LIDAR guiding systems

UT-2 Torpedo

The UT-2 is mainly described as a UT-1 ADCAP, only rigged to take on much longer ranges, with a more stealthier approach. The UT-1 ADCAP was with speed and firepower in mind; the UT-2 as designed with range and stealth on mind. If you're a submarine captain, and you've detected enemy vessels, but your too far and out of range of the UT-1 ADCAP's capabilities, then you better rig your ship with the UT-2, because that's exactly what it's made for. The UT-2 uses a pumpjet with MHD propulsion assistance. Once in closer range, or detected, the torpedo abandons it's stealthy approach starts it's supercavitating design, to speed to it's target at a max speed of 200 knots. However, when in stealth approach, the torpedo moves toward it's target at 78 knots or below (depending on programed settings). With extensive stealth features, the UT-2 is consequently very quiet, and was designed to get to the far away target without being detected. Also, the UT-2 uses special cavitation absorbers to help further quiet it's approach. In order to acquire a long range, the UT-2 is therefore a heavyweight. With a length of 19 feet, and a diameter of 21 inches, it has a long range of 260 Nautical Miles. Most of the torpedo's length is used for the fueling, and consequently the UT-2 has a smaller warhead than the UT-1/ADCAP. The UT-2 has a 260 kg Octanitrocubane (ONC) warhead, with a hull penetrating tip.

Power Plant: Pumpjet/MHD propulsion; Supercavitating propulsion technology when torpedo is in a certain range, or has been detected.

UASM-1 "Corsair" Anti-Ship Missile

The Corsair missile was origianlly developed by the Shaitan Corporation as the Navy's basic anti-ship missile for fleetwide use. It has also been adapted for use by bombers and other aircraft in the Air Force. The Corsair can be launched by surface ships, submarines, or (without the booster) by aircraft. The Corsair is an all-weather, over-the-horizon, anti-ship missile; guided by an internal navigation system with GPS (and other Network-Centric Warfare systems), it's own active radar/LIDAR infrared guidance. The Corsair is driven by it's Scramjet engine, putting it up to an speeds of all the way up to Mach 8+. Then slaming into it's target with a armor piercing tip and delivering a 410kg Octanitrocubane (ONC) warhead. The Corsair also features a MIRV (Multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle) system that, before impact; a collection of six seperate HMX (octogen) charges blast out of the main missile body, and explode on impact. The total damage done from one Corsair is seven explosions; the six MIRV charges, and the remaining main missile warhead.

Propulsion: Scramjet propulsion
Speed: Mach 8+
Guidance: An internal navigation system with GPS (and other Network-Centric Warfare systems), and/or active radar/LIDAR infrared guidance
Main Warhead: 410kg Octanitrocubane (ONC) warhead

UT-3 FADCAP Torpedo

The Navy needed a small and fast main torpedo to fit inside it's new subcraft fighter systems, such as the F/A-1 Seablade. The Shaitan Corporation fulfilled their needs with the UT-3 FADCAP (Fighter ADvanced CAPability) Torpedo. The UT-3 is regarded to be the main and most used torpedo in the smaller subcraft systems. Used by both manned and unmanned undersea vehicles, the UT-3 FADCAP Torpedo has extraordinary speeds and maneuverability.

The UT-3 FADCAP is powered by a powerful solid fuel rocket with MHD propulsion assistance. With the cavitation absorber and MHD (Magnetohydrodynamic drive) assistance to the rocket motor gives the torpedo more power, more range, and more stealth as opposed to your traditional torpedo. The UT-3 FADCAP features ground-breaking, High-Speed, Supercavitating technologies in it's propulsion system. The High-speed torpedo offers the Navy great tactical advantage for Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW), by it's supercavitating technologies giving it a speed almost as fast as air missiles. The lightweight, supercavitating design shoots the torpedo at over 3010 knots. It may sound like science fiction, however, an even faster projectile was first launched in 1997 by scientists at the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Newport, Rhode Island. It was the first ever undersea projectile to break the sound barrier.

The UT-1 ADCAP has a 25kg Octanitrocubane (ONC) warhead, with an armor piercing (hull piercing) tip; delivering a harsh bite. Octanitrocubane is a high explosive, that delivers a 20 to 25 percent greater performance than HMX (octogen); the state-of-the-art military explosive used in many current systems. The new warhead and speed of the torpedo will penetrate most hull designs with one torpedo. The UT-3 FADCAP has a guidance capability that allows the parent ship to guide the torpedo with it's systems. The UT-3 FADCAP, when not operating with guidance, it can operate it's own active/passive RADAR and/or LIDAR, and execute programmed target search, acquisition and attack procedures; and can conduct multiple reattacks if it misses the target.
