| Date Of Design | 1968 |
| Date In Service | A-244: 1971
A-244/S: 1984 A-244/S Mod 1: 1987 |
| Weight | A-244: 485 lbs. (220 kg)

| Overall Length | 108.s in. (2.75 m) |
| Explosive Charge | 75 lbs. (34 kg) |
| Range / Speed | 6,600 yards (6,000 m) / 30 knots |
| Power | Lead-acid Battery |
| Notes: A-244 was conceived as a replacement for the Mark 44 Mod 2. A-244 homes passively/actively using a single frequency. A-244/S homes passively/actively using triple frequency pulses and a programmable seeker. The A-244/S Mod 1 uses multiple pre-formed beams, the shape of which can be changed to suit acoustic conditions. | |
