A projectile (50) is propelled from a location in air, through an air/water interface, and toward an underwater object (24). The projectile (50) includes a forward end (52) that forms a cavitation void (30) around the projectile (50) in water, avoiding water drag on the remainder of the projectile (50). The projectile (50) further includes a lateral stabilizer (90) that contacts the side of the cavitation void in the event that the projectile (50) yaws into a wall of the cavitation void (30) as it passes through water, producing a restoring force that prevents the projectile (50) from tumbling.
Projectile (50) propulsé depuis un endroit situé dans l'air, à travers une interface air-eau et en direction d'un objet sous-marin (24). Ledit projectile (50) comporte une extrémité avant (52) formant un vide de cavitation (30) autour du projectile (50) dans l'eau, évitant la rétropropulsion de l'eau sur le reste du projectile (50). Le projectile (50) comporte également un stabilisateur (90) latéral en contact avec le côté du vide de cavitation au cas où le projectile (50) ferait une embardée dans une paroi du vide de cavitation (30) en passant à travers l'eau, produisant une force de rappel qui empêche le projectile (50) de se renverser.
