“We are honored that the TG-6000 is a part of the technology that the U.S. Navy uses to complete missions and protect the United States and its allies around the world,” said Jay Napoli, vice president for fiber-optic gyro and original equipment manufacturer sales at KVH.
The MK54 lightweight torpedo is an anti-submarine warfare weapon deployed from surface ships, helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft to find and destroy underwater targets. It is currently used by all U.S. Navy surface and air anti-sub platforms, as well as 25 foreign navies.
