	RAF - Stingray
		The Sting Ray is a lightweight, air-launched, electrically-powered, homing torpedo carried by the Nimrod MR2 and MRA4 for use against either deep ocean or coastal water submarine targets.
		The Sting Ray is an autonomous weapon which, having received pre-launch, search pattern information from the launch aircraft, uses its active sonar and tactical software to search for, localise and attack its submarine target.
		The torpedo is able to determine the target’s speed, heading and depth, thus enabling the weapon to select the best attack-profile and optimum impact angle to ensure the torpedo’s shaped charge works to maximum effect when penetrating a submarine’s hull.

	Stingray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rays swim with a "flying" motion, propelled by motion of their large pectoral fins (commonly referred to as "wings").
		It is possible for ray stings to be fatal if they sever major arteries, are in the chest or pelvic region, or are improperly treated.
		Rays may be caught on a fishing line, using small crabs as bait, and are often caught accidentally; they may also be speared from above.

		The torpedo circuit boards, the heart of this sophisticated weapon, can be accurately artificially aged in conditioning ovens which raise and lower the oven temperatures dramatically between 80C and -40C for several days in cycles as short as 10 minutes.
		Two Squirrel 1000s were planted inside the Sting Ray with 16 channels measuring the temperature of components and 16 channels measuring voltage changes within the torpedo's power supply.
		We were able to take them out of the torpedoes after tests in sea water, download the data onto a PC in minutes and re-programme them before putting them to work on measuring the vibration torpedoes are subjected to on the back of a lorry.

		Sting Ray's advanced intelligence and superior upgrades ensures it will be in service until at least 2030, assisted by the software's sophisticated functionality which enables future capability enhancements to be effected swiftly.
		Sting Ray Mod 1 was developed to meet operational requirements for the next generation of lightweight torpedo.
		Sting Ray's effectiveness against a wide range of submarine threats has been consistently demonstrated during 1,900 in-water trials, many hundreds against manoeuvring submarines, including a successful SINKEX (live-firing) against a decommissioned submarine.

		A key feature of the Mod 1 torpedo is its new digital homing, guidance and control systems, which through a combination of modern computer technology and advanced software algorithms extends the operational capability of Sting Ray into the complex shallow water environments in which our Navy now has to operate.
		When Sting Ray Mod 1 is delivered into operational service in 2006 it will provide a torpedo which will not require any major maintenance activity for more than 20 years, but will be capable of further software upgrades to meet the future operational needs of the Royal Navy.
		Sting Ray Mod 1 also has an excellent competitive position in the international market with a number of customers already expressing strong interest in its capabilities.
