I supposed this is intented to counter the small mast-mounted IR SAMs
that were on some of the Russian's Kilo's awhile back.

I seem to recall that the Russians found that diving and hiding
provided better survivability then trying to shoot town the ASW
aircraft and abandonded the program.

I think this concept is being pushed because they don't want the
twin-engined P-8 flying around at typical traditional torpedo launch
altitudes.
