ABSTRACT:
A method for combating a submerged target object through the intermediary of an active body which is deployable in an airborne mode, and which picks up a sonar contact with the target object from a helically descending searching trajectory below the water level. Also disclosed is an arrangement for combating a submerged target object, especially a double-hulled submarine, through the intermediary of an active body deployable in an airborne mode which is equipped with a sonar installation and with guidance media for the traversing of a helical gliding search trajectory. Upon contacting a target through the intermediary of a searching sonar which is more simply constructed in comparison with a homing sonar, the active body launches an effector which is equipped with an extremely rapid drive into linear attacking trajectory tangentially to the searching trajectory, and wherein the effector will detonate a warhead upon impact against a target.
