Every time I read about this weapon I can't get Dr Strangelove out my mind!I think its development, alongside the hypersonic efforts, is simply a reaction to modern and potential future ABM developments. With the development of laser and particle beam technologies the chances of successful destruction of the warhead or missile remains higher than an underwater weapon that no A/S weapon can currently deal with and which no adequate early warning sensor exists.I wonder if the development of this weapon didn't start out back in the late 1980s as a counter to Reagan's Star Wars and was dusted off the shelf? Certainly modern navigation systems make this a more feasible system today than during the Cold War.
