Research abstract
Triton Systems proposes a parallel approach of developing a composite fuel tank structure and an improved fuel separation system for the MK48 Torpedo. The composite tank structure will reduce of the weight of the assembly while increasing the amount of available internal volume for additional fuel by eliminating internal ribs and thinning outer walls. The redesigned fuel separation system will occupy less volume while keeping Otto Fuel and Seawater separated during both normal operation and high-speed maneuvers.
