This month Aerospatial and MBB announced that they were working on
a submarine-launched anti-helicopter missile called Polypheme.

Its weight is about 100kb and range around 10km, and it will be
launched using a cannister system similar to that used by the
submarine-launched Exocet.   This implies that it can be fired from
underwater, as opposed to the British blowpipe system previously
mentioned.
