SMART, short for Supersonic Missile Assisted Release of Torpedo, is a canister-launched, long-range supersonic anti-submarine missile developed by India's Defence Research and Development Organisation for the Indian Navy. It combines a missile carrier with a lightweight torpedo payload so that a torpedo can be delivered from a standoff distance. The missile has a range of 643 km and carries a torpedo with a range of about 20 km and a 50 kg high explosive warhead. It can be launched from a surface ship or a truck-based coastal battery. A two-way data link connects it to airborne or ship-based sensors. The first successful test took place on 5 October 2020 from Abdul Kalam Island, and further trials followed in 2021, 2023 and 2024. The article describes the system as still under development.
