LCAW (Low Cost Anti-submarine Weapon) is a miniature torpedo developed by Whitehead Alenia Sistemi Subacquei S.p.A (WASS). LCAW is developed to fill the gap between conventional depth charge and torpedoes in the area where depth charges lack propulsion and guidance while the cost of expansive torpedoes are increasingly becoming prohibitive. The program initially begun in 1987 and completed in 1992.
