DP-65 (98U) - Russian special compact 55 mm 10-barreled remote-controlled grenade launcher complex.

Designed to protect ships, waterworks, offshore platforms and other important marine and coastal facilities from combat divers and saboteurs. The grenades are believed to produce casualties to divers within 16 meters of the explosion. They are employed by Grachonok-class anti-saboteur ships.

Installed directly on floating objects and on the coast.

In 1991, the DP-65 automated, small size, remotely-controlled Rocket Grenade Launcher system was developed and adopted by the Russian Navy.
