MU90 Impact
The MU90/IMPACT is an advanced lightweight anti-submarine torpedo or 3rd generation〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.naval-technology.com/contractors/missiles/eurotorp/press6.html )〕 developed by France and Italy for navies of France, Italy, Germany, Denmark, Australia and Poland. It is designed to compete with and outperform the US-built Mark 54 in the anti-submarine role, and has also been developed in a special MU90 Hard Kill version for torpedo anti-torpedo defence.〔 The MU90 is built by EuroTorp, a consortium of French and Italian companies.
==History==
The MU90 was the result of separate projects in France and Italy from the 1980s. In France, a project under the direction of Thomson Sintra created the "''Murène''" in 1989, while in Italy Whitehead started work on an A244 replacement known as the A290. In 1990 the first attempts to merge the two efforts started, a process that was completed in 1993 with the formation of EuroTorp.〔(EUROTORP History )〕
The French intended to use the new torpedo on their frigates, Atlantique 2 aircraft, Lynx helicopters and NFH90 helicopters. They originally wanted 1000 units, but the end of the Cold War saw their requirement cut to 600 in 1991, 450 in 2000 and finally 300 torpedoes in 2008.〔 The project has cost France €1,150m (~US$1,500m) in 2012 prices at a unit cost of €1.6m (~US$2.1m), or €3.8m (~US$5m) including development costs.〔 25 torpedoes per year will be delivered to France until 2014.〔
