I can't find any information on this system. Has anyone seen information on it before? Is it drawn in Shipbucket?

Well, according to the Swedish wiki the Alecto was cancelled when they decided not to fit them on to the Visby class.

Didnt't knew ASW-601 and ALECTO were the same system. This should help, thanks.

Thiel, the links you sent aren't working, but thanks for the effort anyways.

They're not the same system. The 601 is bo operational mortar based system from the 80ies, the Alecto was the rocket based replacement.
