ABSTRACT:
An underwater missile for use against submerged submarines has a missile housing with a magnetic contact surface (2) at a foremost end portion intended to contact a submerged submarine. The magnetic contact surface is provided by two magnets (2',2") located in adjacency and with reversed magnetic polarity. A magnetically operated switching means (5) is positioned adjacent to the magnetic leakage field of the magnets, and is arranged to be operated when the leakage field is increased by means of a metallic object located within the magnetic field of the magnets. The operation of the switching means first detonates a small propellant charge (6) to impose a force to cause complete adherence between the magnetic contact surface of the missile and the outer surface of a contacted submarine, and then detonates a main explosive charge (7) intended to penetrate the submarine.
