A method for controlling a torpedo to at least one target. In order to increase the range of the torpedo, the torpedo, during the travel thereof to the target, submerges once or several times into the near-surface region of a water system that is adjacent to the water surface, wherein, however, the torpedo also remains immersed in said near-surface region. The torpedo then extends a radio antenna into a surface region above the water surface and subsequently receives position data containing target position data of the target by way of said radio antenna and uses said position data to head for the target. The invention further relates to a torpedo comprising an antenna section having an extendable radio antenna. Further, the invention relates to such an antenna section.
A method for steering a torpedo (1) to at least one target (Z), wherein the torpedo (1) surfaces one or more times in the area of a waterway (4) close to the surface and adjacent to the water surface during its journey to the target (Z), wherein the torpedo (1) also remains submerged, however, in this area close to the surface and extends a radio antenna (10) into an above-water area above the water surface, wherein
A torpedo having an extendable radio antenna (10) and a radio receiver for reception of position data, further comprising
