Lockheed Martin Corporation has tested mini-missiles for a promising air defense system MML

The US Army may soon receive miniature interceptor missiles. The press service of the corporation Lockheed Martin reported that the White Sands test site (New Mexico) has passed the tests of the updated MHTK rocket.

During the tests, the developer tested the updated version of the Miniature Hit-to-Kill (MHTK) rocket, as well as its modification with a semi-active guidance head. The company Lockheed Martin indicate that the tests confirmed the improved maneuverability of the updated rocket, as well as the stable operation of both versions of electronics.

For the first time, Lockheed Martin’s development of the MHTK rocket became known in 2016. It is planned that the miniature interceptors will become part of a promising air defense complex Multi-Mission Launcher (MML).

In the basic version, the length of the MNTK was 61 cm, and its starting mass did not exceed 2,2 kg. The rocket was equipped with an active homing head and hit targets with a direct hit (effective range - 3 km). The updated version is 72 cm long, but it retains the basic starting mass. The technical description indicates that new ammunition is designed to intercept unguided missiles, shells and mortar shells, reports "Warspot"

Sorry, that’s not the topic, but here is the interesting news: The new Soyuz-2.1a rocket was launched using new fuel

The rocket flew on a completely new fuel - naphthyl, an environmentally friendly type of hydrocarbon fuel using polymer additives.

The use of naphthyl will allow the family of three-stage medium-class launch vehicles to bring more payload to all types of orbits than when using a chemical rocket engine, which is based on an oxygen-kerosene pair.

[A. Privalov]

Naphthyl, this is kerosene.

[Muvka]

AND? But this naphthyl with additives.

[Rokiii]

and when did this carapace master hit-to-kill? or any Russian zrk?
and the Yankees have long mastered .. even the Patriot air defense system (actively watered by swill patriots) the latest modification with erint missiles is able to shoot down the brig squad by direct hit in warheads!
and s400 so moget?

[Alex_Rarog]

With a probability of 0.3 and at a distance of up to 100), and 400ka for 360, the minimum hits the minimum and the height of it. Yes, the shell is essentially shrapnel but the probability of destruction is 0.8. And you can continue to consider that we have only the usurpers.

Both, is another American polymer hacked? Now he is pouring us with the victorious realities of American technology and shutting him up under the rug

Significant improvement in the quality of destruction of ballistic targets was achieved even in the S-300PMU-2 system, due to equipping SAM 48N6E2 with an ultra-powerful warhead weighing 180 kg with the possibility of spatial optimization of the flight of fragments of equipment with a shift towards the target, i.e. a dense stream of fragments towards the target can completely neutralize, or initiate its equipment. This principle works best at a distance of 40 km. The 48N6E2 missile is equipped with PARGSN, so its use in the missile defense system determines the unmatched accuracy of the RPN 30N6E2 accuracy. The next step was the development of the S-400, which already included a conceptually new SAM, similar to the Aster and Erint, but with a much longer range. 9M96E2 missiles have a range of about 120 km, are equipped with ARGSN and this time DPU (gas-dynamic transverse control engines), which allowed the rocket to go overload 20 units in 0,02 s. This missile in the full sense of the word uses the principle of "hit-to-kill" ..

And so we all boot out of habit

Have you seen the range of the Shell? This Sikilyavka has a range of 3 km, the Shell has 20 (and in the new version 40 km).
They are trying to reduce the cost of the interceptor missile and make it more compact so that they can be crammed into such a complex, not 10 or 15, so that it can intercept Gradov volleys, and not just single blanks with gas cylinders.

you from which planet dear? This pen is called helium, ale reception. The pencil, by the way, is not suitable for space, as the lead is crumbling.

[dvina71]

Quote: MadCat

Ale .. reception ..

Thus, as you now understand, it is impossible to fill the handle shaft with helium.

We remember further: Correctly write and say “gel pens”. They are filled with gel.

I will not dwell on the composition of ink for ballpoint or fountain pens, it is different for everyone, I will only say about gel ink.

As a rule, the basis of such ink is gel, that is, a viscous substance made from glycerin, which was specially thickened with a special thickener modifier. As a modifier, alcohols, sugars, dextrins are most often used.

The advantage of such pens over, for example, ballpoint pens is that they write faster, softer, easier to move on paper due to the composition of the ink, and give a richer color.

In zero gravity, the problem is not related to the presence of gel (glycerin) or ink in pasty, but the fact that the ink or gel refuses to flow through the ball (if we talk about the ball device of the pen) or flow down the pen .. (if we talk about the classic pen writing instrument ) In zero gravity, not a simple pencil is used, but the so-called chemical, or rather, a copy.

Among the components of the chemical pencil lead are graphite, clay, aniline dyes (dyes eosin, rhodamine, auramine) and binders. The hardness / softness of the pencils varies depending on the percentage of binders. The exact proportions of the components vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. -

When dry, a chemical pencil writes a silver-gray tint, like a familiar simple pencil. And in appearance they can hardly be distinguished. But it is worth wetting the inscription or the pencil itself, as the trace it leaves takes on a characteristic purple color. To a greater or lesser extent, the lead is soluble in many liquids, but best of all with water, followed by alcohol.

Since such a pencil can write when ordinary pens refuse to write - in the heat or extreme cold, it is indispensable in traveling conditions.

Well now, calculate how many missiles you need per mine, the cost of the mine the missile will chase

[Just a man]

That's interesting, all of their missile defense and air defense systems are remarkably knocking down targets during the period when the promotion of a new super duper weapon is underway and provided that the information is provided only by interested US agencies. But in practice, as soon as there is an opportunity to evaluate the real abilities of third-party media or random people, always a cesspool turns out. For example, today the tests of the Aegis missile defense system in the US state of Hawaii ended in failure. CNN reported that the SM-3 rocket, which is equipped with the Aegis complex, could not intercept the object launched from the aircraft. A few months ago, they also disgraced themselves in front of the Japanese during the test of Aegis. A year ago, the same embarrassment was in Alaska. I'm not talking about the shame of the Patriot system among the Arabs. Apparently not in vain so many countries are eager to purchase our S-400 system.

[KVU-NSVD]

that the new ammunition is designed to intercept unguided missiles, shells and mortar mines, reports "Warspot"

From a massive shelling - like a dead poultice, from single ones - it’s quite, only expensive pleasure, an artillery shot for 800 kilobaxes immediately comes to mind and for some reason this rocket “mini-cooper” seems no exception. But for object defense in the conditions of low-intensity conflicts from “wandering” mortars and so on, it’s quite an aggregate in the American monetary system

[MadCat]

Quote: KVU-NSVD

From a massive shelling - like a dead poultice

just for these cases, these mini-missiles were created, about the cost, then everyone has their own abilities and opportunities for cheaper Americans.

[KVU-NSVD]

Do you even imagine firing a mortar battery at an object? NOT a sighting, but 6 120mm hollows at the target by readiness. To protect against this, an unrealistic concentration of such miracle rackets is needed.

[MadCat]

Quote: KVU-NSVD

Do you even imagine firing a mortar battery at an object?

And when and who has bombarded Americans for a long period in recent years, so thirty of the mortars? All their bases are covered by air patrols. So what the system needs is a maximum reflection of the first blow.
In Syria, 7 aircraft were crushed, and so the development of a mini-missile for shells began.

[KVU-NSVD]

As I already said - this device is for protection against single shots at a guarded object. Read the comments you are responding to a little more carefully. And about 7 aircraft - then these fakes have long been chewed, digested and ... etc

With any advanced technology, a missile defense MUST have a higher speed, greater maneuverability, greater vigilance, which leads to a much higher price.
The latest examples of the leaky American missile defense in the NE (in Yemen), when half of the still Soviet missiles could not intercept modern American missiles.
Further. The use of jihad mobiles with automatic mortars, to organize concentration, surprise and multiplicity became elementary. Countering this plague requires innumerable amounts of this humor around its own objects and borders.

[Morrow]

Israel is coping

[tezey]

If this is indeed so, and the Americans managed to create a rocket with the stated diameter and mass having an active homing head and hitting a target with a direct hit, then whoever said that would be a very serious achievement. Unfortunately, we have nothing of the kind yet. Let's see how much the Americans manage to bring the system to adoption.

[voyaka uh]

This is really a serious revelation. Accurate mini-missiles are very promising.
And the application is the widest.
After all, such a missile may be the second stage after the booster.

I hope we find out someday. In any case, this is very good. This fuel for the Angara means suitable for any future missiles being developed. A + power will never be superfluous. And it is unlikely that they would test fuel with several% better efficiency. Maybe 10-20% make up.

Warrior! The irony is good where there is nothing more to say!
On business. There were no "boars" at the workshops in Abu Dhabi, but there were imported and manufactured BRs and KRs. At the same time, the polygon time was not exactly set. Therefore, we can assume that this was a small air defense battle. In this case, the "target" was covered by interference. I do not argue: there were no towed traps. But, nevertheless, a line of people wishing to “possess” Russian weapons lined up for C-400.
However, this is a fact, Monsieur ironist!

Small-sized is what for? What is the goal - dimensions, range, small-sized, or something else? Isn't it better to do things with an almost absolute effect on the results of the application? Small-sized products have a small-sized resource. The slightest miss and the second approach to the goal for them is absolutely unattainable pleasure. Miniaturization worsens the parameters and increases the cost of production.
