The MK 54 MAKO is a lightweight torpedo deployable from surface ships, helicopters, and fixed-wing aircraft, designed to autonomously track, classify, and engage submarine targets. It is the direct successor to the MK 46 and can be produced by upgrading existing MK 46 systems using the low-cost MK 54 conversion kit. The MK 54 incorporates advanced guidance and signal processing derived from the heavyweight MK 48 and the MK 50 torpedo programmes, giving navies a significantly improved capability against modern
quiet submarines while leveraging existing launcher and handling infrastructure.
