The braking system of this missile and the launching of the torpedo are very complex hybrid systems. This proves we can create any Hybrid launching system with a specific speed and angle. The High-speed separation of HSTDV seems to be much easier than this.
Pushing submarines away from our shore by putting them at another layer of risk from road Mobile anti submarine missile assisted tarpedo. Once these munitions are deployed it will be extremely difficult decision for enemy boat to come closer considering if any detection will most certainly result in multiple launches of these missiles.
There are unmanned systems as well which can detect and assist in such munitions launch. Another thing is we can launch these missiles against a submarine which might be trying their luck to breach the territorial waters. Any detection from underwater systems like SOSUS can also result in these munitions release, without redirecting any other asset in the area.
US submariner was discussing about this capability which is not only unique but also very difficult at such long ranges.
Once you have a capable missile ready with you there are endless possibilities to carry these missiles e.g. Boat or in a container hidden from the enemy. The interesting fact is the enemy will keep on guessing ... since its starts as a missile and is in the middle of the path it will convert to a Torpedo ,The reaction time will be very less.
Possible. But using nose mounted thrusters for braking will cause the missile to roll. That roll has to be counteracted by the missile's rear mounted fins. Very complicated stuff.
Only If IN promptly inducts it as well.

May be IN is looking for mass induction of autonomous underwater vehicles equipped with required sensor suite for surveillance in IOR, in conjunction with P8I and Predator drones and also SOSUS and naval assets of alliance partners.
Do these type of AUVs have capability to interact with each other like true swarms ?
