Abstract

The development for a high speed underwater vehicle has been demanded for a long time, and it is possible to realize using supercavitation. This paper introduces the main technologies that are necessary to develop a supercavitating rocket system, such as "Supercavitation" and "Hydroreactive technology", and describes the operating concepts and principles for its components specifically. Russia has obtained the key technologies of supercavitation and hydroreactive fuel technology for the first time. Russia has developed a supercavitating rocket torpedo, Shkval, and it was in service since 90's. Iran collaborated with Russia to develop a supercavitating rocket torpedo 'Hoot' and finished a test recently. This paper describes the analysis results related with the cavitator based on the technical reports for Shkval of Russia and Hoot of Iran.
