As a link between nations and continents, the control and domination of the sea paths has always been 
and still remains one of the major strategic issue of the 21st century.

Naval operations are any longer confined to the control and protection of the national waters and the EEZ 
but as enlarged their boundaries to the global theatre. The capability of naval operations and deployment 
of armed forces in the international chess-board is one of the major emerging role for the modern Navies 
as they are more and more called to support peace-keeping tasks in the attempt of grant global stability 
and support mitigation of crises in disputed area and waters.

At the other end, the growth of the hostile submarine ability to escape detection and 
destruction by anti-submarine forces is an increasing concern. The proliferating 
conventionally-powered (SSK) submarines are pushing the shift of the operational theatres 
toward naval operations in littoral and coastal areas. The latest technologies 
are offering to the vessels unprecedented stealth, endurance, survivability 
and intelligence capability. The nuclear submarines remain well in the picture 
even though they are serviced by a limited number of Navies and in coastal 
waters, midget submarines are likely to operate in greater and greater 
number, due to their affordability. 

The combination of all the above mentioned threats, the proliferation of 
expendable anti-torpedo countermeasures and the round-the-clock naval 
operations demand for extremely advanced anti-submarine weapon capability.

If the sea is to remain the privileged center of international free exchange, 
and its depths are not to become and invincible stronghold, Navies have to 
catch-up with the rapid changes of the Naval warfare.
