    Supercavitating torpedo development program The Supercavitating torpedo program unveiled by ADD in 2015 is pretty impressive, especially in this few seconds of test footage. However, in the 2010s, the key enabling technologies for the Supercavitating Underwater Vehicle were in place, but the...
