The MU90 lightweight torpedo has entered active service with the Royal Australian Navy, having achieved Operational Release Status after a recent final test firing.

The entry into service has been achieved as a result of close collaboration between the Djimindi Alliance (comprising the Defence Materiel Organisation, Thales Australia and EuroTorp), the Royal Australian Navy and its RAN Test Evaluation Analysis Authority, and the Defence Science and Technology Organisation.

The MU90 is an advanced lightweight anti-submarine torpedo, designed to counter nuclear and conventional submarines and associated countermeasures.

Australia’s ANZAC and FFG frigates are now fully equipped with the MU90.
