Hellenic Navy: Italian firm Leonardo's impressive torpedo bid

Reportedly, the offer includes the supply of 45 new, Black Shark Advanced (BSA / Nuovo Siluro Pesante) HWT(Heavy-Weight Torpedo) torpedoes at a cost equal to the budget for 36 torpedoes.

The configuration of the torpedoes in the combat system of the two types of submarines and the delivery of the first 12-torpedo units will take place within 16 months of the contract being activated, as there is currently an active Black Shark Advanced torpedo production line for the Italian Navy and naval forces of other countries. The rest of the torpedoes will be delivered in lots every eight months.

The offer also includes:
> Providing and installing on five submarine (one for each submarine) of the HWT Launching Network.
> Complete integration in the PAPANIKOLIS and OKEANOS submarines with the ISUS 90 battle system with which the submarines are equipped. According to the Italian company, such a project was successfully completed in Type 209 submarines operated by another country.
