Torped 613
Torped 613 (TP613) is a heavyweight torpedo still in use by the Swedish Navy.
Torped 613 is wire-guided and has a dual passive and active sonar seeker head that sends back information through the guidance wire. The torpedo was developed in the 1970s as a cooperation project between Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Testing was performed during the period spanning from 1981 to 1983.
The TP613 was developed during the late 1970s and early 1980s through a collaboration between the navies in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Production began in 1983, with first deliveries following in 1984. The weapon incorporates terminal homing and two-way wire guidance. Numerous units of TP612 were upgraded into TP613 after its introduction.
Like the older Swedish Torped 61 introduced in 1968, it is driven by a bipropellant piston engine using high-test peroxide and alcohol, which gives long range and a minimum exhaust consisting of water vapor and carbon dioxide. Consequently, the weapon is wakeless.
The torpedo is planned to be replaced by the more modern Torped 62.
