It started developed in 1973 as a collaborative NATO project involving the United States, Britain, Germany, Norway and Denmark. The system is compatible with a modified Mark 36 SRBOC launching system which means it could be used by any ship with the SBROC, though the Seagnat rounds are not directly interchangeable. It was selected for use on the British Type 23 frigate in 1985 and limited production started in 1986. It went into service in 1987 aboard HMS Argus.
