As explained in the Italian companies Drass and Leonardo, in the context of the movement of marine threats from deep-sea areas to coastal and shallow waters, they decided to join forces to create a small-sized attack submarine.

As a result, the unobtrusive underwater vehicle DS8 Swimmer Delivery Vehicle ("equipment for the delivery of swimmers", SDV) from Drass, originally designed for patrolling and performing reconnaissance operations, was transformed into a shock vehicle, receiving two TA for launching Black Scorpion mini torpedoes from Leonardo. In this configuration, it is planned to be used for anti-submarine warfare.

During sea trials, the DS8 SDV successfully launched Black Scorpion torpedoes in both static and dynamic conditions, demonstrating the platform's readiness to perform critical tasks

- explained in Drass.

The Black Scorpion is a modern lightweight torpedo with a diameter of 5 inches [127 mm], specially designed for shallow water operations.

Due to its advanced characteristics, it is optimally suited to combat both high-speed surface vessels and conventional submarines at depth

- noted in Leonardo.

The DS8, capable of operating at depths up to 50 m, has a fiberglass skin and a durable aluminum or stainless steel body.
