The APR-3E airborne antisubmarine missile is designed to engage modern and prospective submarines in any position (on sea surface, under periscope or submerged down to 800 m) at a cruising speed of up to 80 km/h. 
The APR-3E missile is unified for combat use from the Tu-142/Il-38 type antisubmarine warfare aircraft and Ka-28 type helicopters, etc. It can be effectively employed over splash-down water areas at least 100-m deep at Sea States up to 6 in all regions of the world ocean.
The APR-3E missile is equipped with a hydroacoustic guidance system using target data classification methods. The missile performs silent target search by scanning underwater space during gravity submersion along a spiral trajectory without starting the engine. The turbo-hydrojet engine is started as soon as the target has been detected and ensures meeting the target within a minimal time (1 – 2 min) making it virtually impossible for the target to evade or counteract.
