SEA WOLF |
|||||||||||||||||||||
Sea Wolf is a naval 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.
It has been fielded by the Royal Navy
in GWS-25, GWS-26 (Guided Weapon System) and VLS (Vertical Launch Sea
Wolf) forms.
The 14 kg warhead is a proximity fused HE-fragmenting type.
In the manually loaded form, the missiles are
stored onboard in individual maintenance-free canisters, sealed until
use and handled like a round of ammunition.
