The Poseidon appears to be a torpedo-shaped robotic mini-submarine which can travel at speeds of 185 km/h (100 kn). [ 23 ] [ 24 ] [ 27 ] More recent information suggests a top speed of 100 km/h (54 kn), with a range of 10,000 km (5,400 nmi; 6,200 mi) and a depth maximum of 1,000 m (3,300 ft).
In 2018, Russia has released plans for a 20 to 100Mt tsunami bomb, named Status-6 or Poseidon Torpedo, which is realized as a nuclear-powered and nuclear-armed unmanned underwater vehicle with a length of about 24m. According to the plan, the Poseidon Torpedo would initiate a 500m high shockwave.
The motherships for the Poseidon underwater drones are planned to be the 09852 "Belgorod" project submarines, like the "Belgorod", and the 09851 "Khabarovsk" project submarines. [40] According to publications by the Russian state news agency TASS, the submarines can carry up to six Poseidon vehicles at once. [21] These were test launched in ...

Italian news agency La Repubblica claimed NATO had warned of an imminent test of the Russian nuclear torpedo Poseidon. Here’s why that’s unlikely (for now).
A US Navy P-8 Poseidon with an AN/APS-154 attached to its belly The AN/APS-154 Advanced Airborne Sensor ( AAS ) is a multifunction radar installed on the P-8 Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft. The radar is built by Raytheon as a follow-on to their AN/APS-149 Littoral Surveillance Radar System (LSRS).
So, while Poseidon does have the torpedo form-factor and its simplest use-case is as a torpedo, it's more than that. Hence my proposal to call it an "underwater drone". But I'm not against "torpedo". If people prefer "torpedo", so be it. 46.242.8.24 11:08, 13 April 2018 (UTC) Most of the RS appears to call it a torpedo.
