Ahem.... "Extreme Speed"...

Sorry SH5 joke.

Making a Skval guided is possible - but it will be limited to active or wire guidance only. Passive guidance is impossible at the speeds used and the supercavitation the device itself uses. In fact, even active guidance would also be extremely difficult due to the fact that the torpedo doesn't actually contact the water, so its ability to hear a sonar signal is questionable (as sound bounces back instead of moves into the air). Wire guidance, like an old TOW missile, is the only realistic way to provide sensor input to steer - but then your trying to drag a wire through the water at speeds that will disintegrate the wire.

A guided Skval would be deadly - but physics make it nearly impossible today.

i would like a Torpedo powered by 2 inertia modifing booster rocket oxidizers with a Proton warhead with Tungsten molecules in a plasma state.

That sounded awesome.

And I would like "a Phased Plasma Rifle in a 40 Watt Range"
