Sea Wolf (missile)
Sea Wolf is a naval guided missile system designed and built by BAC, later to become British Aerospace (BAe) Dynamics (now MBDA). It is an automated point-defence weapon system designed as a final line of defence against both sea-skimming and high angle anti-ship missiles and aircraft. The Royal Navy has fielded two versions, the GWS-25 Conventionally Launched Sea Wolf (CLSW) and the GWS-26 Vertically Launched Sea Wolf (VLSW) forms.
==History==
The system was developed by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) from a 1964 requirement for a replacement for the Sea Cat missile system to give small warships protection against anti-ship missiles and aircraft. A contract was awarded in 1967 to BAC, Vickers and Bristol Aerojet. Testing lasted from 1970 until 1977, with shipborne trials on a modified ''Leander'' class frigate, , from 1976 onwards. Sea Wolf was tested with a vertical launch system early in the missile's development on a modified ''Loch'' class frigate, , but for unclear reasons work did not continue in this direction: the GWS-26 "VL Seawolf (VLS)" being a much later (1980s) development. During trials, the missile performed impressively, successfully intercepting a shell on one occasion.
The first deployment, in the GWS-25 form, was on the Type 22 frigate (2 systems) and later on modified ''Leander'' class frigates (1 system) in six-round, manually loaded, trainable launchers.
It entered service with the Royal Navy in 1979 and was fired in anger during the Falklands War. Current deployment is the GWS-26 Mod 1 system on Type 23 frigates, fielding 32 vertical launch missiles (VL Sea Wolf) in its missile silo. It is expected to remain in service until 2020.
