And the Torpedo anti-torpedo from Atlas-Elektronik:

Not surprised - but I am a little surprised that they haven't worked on a simpler solution - like IR-seeking mortar rounds coupled to the sonar system. This is an existing technology against moving tanks. Without knowing this I should think a torpedo leaves a significant IR track.

Or IR sensors coupled to the CIWS already mounted on many naval vessels. These are, after all, capable of shooting down incoming missiles.

Or even simpler, a modern version of the Hedgehog - the forward-firing salvo-depth charges

OK, the torpedo constructors would then load their torpedoes with underwater chaff and there we go again....Wouldn't work against a hedgehog system, though. Only problem with that is that range had to be increased for better margins.

Then the torpedo designer would make them go deeper til they reach sprint distance......and so forth....

How shall they counter an anti-torpedo torpedo? With an anti-anti torpedo torpedo.......
