In the United States conducted the first flight tests of the slave drone XQ-58A Valkyrie. On March 5 this year, the drone, designed specifically to work in conjunction with a fighter, made its first flight, recognized as successful, writes The Drive.

In the US, tested the first "led" drone XQ-58A Valkyrie




The development of the XQ-58A Valkyrie guided unmanned vehicle is underway by the US Air Force Research Laboratory with the participation of Kratos Unmanned Aerial Systems. The aim of the project is to create relatively cheap in the production of reusable vehicles that can perform the functions of a fighter, but whose losses during the war will not be financially sensitive. Work has been going on for 2,5 years.

Initially, it was assumed that an unmanned fighter aircraft capable of breaking through the Russian echeloned defense of air defense / missile defense (zone A58 / AD) would be created as part of the XQ-2A project, but this concept was later abandoned. The program is now developing a driven unmanned vehicle capable of working "in conjunction" with the fifth-generation fighter F-22 Raptor and F-35 Lightning II, as well as, possibly, with other aircraft.

There are almost no technical details about the project. All that is known: the length of the 9,1 meter meter, wing span - 8,2 meter. Flight altitude - 13,7 thousand meters. Presumably, the device is designed for a range of about two thousand miles (over three thousand kilometers). The weight of the combat load located in the internal compartment and on the external sling is up to 272 kg. Flight speed - transonic.

As part of the test program, the device must make five flights, during which experts will check the on-board equipment, aerodynamic characteristics, take-off and landing systems.

    Well, designing it is not yet done. BUT if they can then it will be a very serious danger to us! For example, I have never heard of unmanned fighter jets this is the first bell, but alarming.

      The goal of the project is the creation of relatively cheap reusable vehicles in production that can serve as a fighter, but whose losses during the war will not be financially sensitive. Work has been ongoing for 2,5 years.
      It’s not the same as with "Armata", because they have different concepts, cheap and massive, when comparing our defense budgets.

        May he not be an unmanned fighter. It will be a bomber of one bomb (272 kg bomb load weight kg.) Or, if you will, a reusable cruise missile. Subsonic and subtle.
        And the demonstration was staged in response to "Zircon", "Poseidon" and "Vanguard" - you have to answer with something, if not equivalent, then at least "asymmetric". They are now in a crisis with instruments of intimidation, so they are improvising.

          For the Zircon project, which is still only on paper, the United States already has an active X-51. At Poseidon, which is also still on paper, the United States has already launched a killer whale in a series.

            What place does it operate? How many times flew? How long and who hit?
            X-51 is not a rocket, but a DEMONSTRATOR - an engine with a heat-resistant sock and nothing more! Uncontrollable (only stabilized), without GOS, warhead ... flying once about 400 km in a straight line and BURNED! The project is closed and recognized in the US as a dead end.
            And you will be very surprised that the X-51 is an attempt to implement the apparatus based on the materials and developments of the Soviet program "Kholod". We did not have time to begin practical tests then - the program was closed by order of Gorbachev. The Americans tried to use our materials and got into a puddle - quite naturally.

            And in Russia the "Cold" program was continued and is now implemented in the Kyrgyz Republic "Zircon", which flies over 1 km. , strikes targets, manageable and compact.

            F-35 by the way, too, our engineers and designers developed and assembled - KB them. Yakovleva, according to an official interstate agreement, handed over the documentation and assigned a large group of designers. Engine, gearbox, fan, rotary supersonic nozzle, general architecture, power set ... This is all Yakovlev’s design bureau. I met with one of the participants in this disgrace, he showed me the clock donated by Bush.

            "Poseidon" is already in working order, tested, checked and you can launch it even from the pier.

              X-51 is not a rocket

              Right This is not a war rocket. This is an experienced hypersonic missile on which everything is being worked out. But Zircon and this is not.

              The project is closed and recognized in the US as a dead end

              Lying. Provide data.

              And in Russia the program "Cold" was continued and is now implemented in the Kyrgyz Republic "Zircon", which flies for 1 thousand km. ,

              There is no Zircon in the design, only in the design on paper. Therefore, Zircon has never flown.
              1000 kilometers is also not true. Zircon is developed at a shorter range, at 500 km. Here are its suggested characteristics.



              F-35 by the way, too, our engineers and designers developed and assembled - KB them. Yakovleva, according to an official interstate agreement, handed over the documentation and assigned a large group of designers

              Some kind of insanity turns out. The Russians created the F-35 and gave it to the United States, and the Su-57 itself cannot bring it to condition. No, you have to be a patriot, but not buffoonery.

              but they have nothing to cover "Poseidon" - neither to intercept, nor to portray a similar threat.

              Again Poseidon only on paper. A ... Boeing, commissioned by the US Department of Defense, has launched a series of four underwater, unmanned vehicles "Kasatka".



              The boat reaches a length of 15,5 meters. The weight of the drone is almost 50 tons. The maximum diving depth is 3 meters. Overcomes 000 km underwater.
              Unmanned "Killer Whales" will not be limited only to reconnaissance missions, they can also be used to sink various enemy ships at a great distance from their home bases, laying mines, destruction of enemy submarines.
              Such a device can be equipped with a torpedo with a nuclear charge, or by placing on its board an integrated nuclear charge integrated into the design of the submarine itself. In this case, the drone turns into a kind of "weapon of retaliation", designed to strike at the enemy in the event of a full-scale nuclear war.

              I met with one of the participants in this disgrace, he showed me the clock donated by Bush.

              Leave such arguments to children and malacholny. For example, I met with a dinosaur and how this can be associated with the release of Killer Whales.

            Tarkhan! Read carefully! X-51 - only on paper and did not reach hypersonic speed and flight range, according to recent tests (hibernation is a speed of more than 5M) - in the USA this is a big problem. The killer whale is also on paper, not in a series. And no one knows about Zircon and Poseidon, including you, and therefore you do not need to assert and assume about it. You, as always in your own style!

              Hypersonic speed is from 5 dr 7 Machs. Above 7, this is already 1 space. Here you are not on paper.



              Starts with the B-52.



              The first independent flight of the Boeing X-51 was carried out in May 2010. During the fourth test hypersonic test aircraft X-51A, a world record was set for the duration of flight using a ramjet engine, and the maximum speed that the WaveRider developed was Mach 5.1 (5 km / h). After dropping the X-417A from under the wing of the bomber, the device switched on its accelerating solid propellant rocket engine, with which it was accelerated to a speed of Mach 51 (4.8 km / h). After the exhausted solid-fuel accelerator was reset, the device turned on the ramjet engine, which is capable of operating only at hypersonic speeds. On the thrust of a ram engine, the vehicle accelerated to a record speed of Mach 5098 and flew at such a speed until the JP-5.1 jet fuel reserve was exhausted.
              By the way, the fuel supply for the direct exhaust pipe is 12 kg of kerosene.

              About Killer Whale, see above.

                What a dreamer you are. American Urikalok heard enough? So they were silent for a long time, exactly as the program was closed - as a dead end. Now they are about to open again, several tens of millions have been allocated for this. The lag behind Russia is estimated by AMERICAN specialists at 10 - 15 years.

                And the reliability of the fact of tests, the speed and range of flights of the experienced "Zircons" are confirmed by the data of the AMERICAN reconnaissance with the fixation of all parameters (range, speed, altitude) of their flight. You look at their reports and analytics, in their publications - Google will translate. There, no one doubts the reality of "Zircon", and its range too.

The X-51 program was canceled, since the prototype did not reach hypersonic speed and flew about 420 km ... For people like you, Hypersonic speed - this is how aerodynamics denotes the value following supersonic speed. It is 6 - 150 km / h (12–300 m / s). So count it will be more than 1M.

            For all its stealth, this drone is the same cruise missile with all its vulnerabilities. Especially from EW funds.
            Moreover, his price will be an order of magnitude more expensive than a conventional cruise missile (and the largest), so it’s possible to build a lot of them in order to operate in swarms, but it will be expensive.
            The disadvantage of a pepelatsa relative to conventional cruise missiles is that they need an airfield and pre-flight maintenance for takeoff, just like a conventional aircraft. While the same "Caliber" starts from any platform directly from the container, it has a larger radius (2500 km versus 1500 km) and one and a half times more powerful warhead.

            To combat this fruit of a gloomy American genius will have fighter aircraft, electronic warfare and short-range air defense systems.

        Why do you need our dearest Su-57? Air defense and fighter aircraft will work against enemy aircraft and the Kyrgyz Republic, while stealth is not required - he is a hunter, they are game. If the game gives a voice (turns on the radar), it will be immediately destroyed. And what will they look at during the raid? And do not talk about AWACS planes - the first priority target for long-range air defense and IA missiles. Your radar? Well then, welcome.

          And against mindless posts of praise of what is not yet and the simultaneous, illiterate reproach of what is already a potential adversary. By all logic, you need to take a closer look at what has appeared and introduce the best into your own.
          A good example is the Su-57, Armata, Altair, MS-21. They boasted about ten years, but they are still not in the troops.

            This is only because it was not possible to maintain a formless supersonic.

            Su-35, for example, is capable of flying a supersonic without using afterburner - so why should it fly slower?

            A high-speed fighter aircraft capable of maintaining a cruising speed of several numbers M is a formidable fighting machine, because using high speed it can easily enter the mutual defeat zone for a shot at the enemy, but he will most likely have time to get out of it, but the subsonic enemy hardly.

            The characteristics of rocket weapons from high carrier speed increase, the requirements for enemy missiles and many other advantages increase.

            In general, I think the future is for heavy speed platforms with a large number of powerful and long-range missiles - if you install a powerful radar on the Tu-22М3, capable of detecting an enemy fighter for hundreds of kilometers and suspending a half or two dozen P-37 and several P-73 ( for self-defense) it will be a very formidable fighter - C-400 battery flying in supersonic hi

                  with acceptable turning radius

                  acceptable - the concept is subtle.
                  for example, if you need to leave the enemy’s zone of destruction, you need to turn around as quickly as possible. only this cannot be done at high speed; overloads will interfere.
                  Actually, the fighter you are writing about has been around for a very long time
                  A high-speed fighter aircraft capable of supporting a cruising speed of several M numbers is a formidable combat vehicle, because using high speed it can easily enter the mutual destruction zone to shoot at the enemy

                  This is a MiG-31.
                  But since it is optimized for high speeds, its maneuverability is very low.
                  This is a fairly specialized interceptor.
                  Now the global trend is strictly the opposite - to make universal fighters.

                SovAr238A! Don't write your childish guesses! And also do not "shine" with what you do not know ... This is about the LPI mode in the F-35 radar! Storyteller and nothing more! Learn radar and radio engineering first!
                For people like you:
                LPI mode for detection distances has nothing to do with the maximum or working radar detection distances. because it is determined by other parameters.
                The maximum distance in theory is up to 55 km, in real life less than 50 km. with the complete absence of jamming from the enemy, because this mode is very sensitive to the noise component.
                This distance is on the border of the detection distance of an aircraft operating in LPI by means of optoelectronic target search. For fighters of the last generation, it approaches 60-70 km. for inconspicuous targets in the ir range.

And the OLS, by the way, allows you to monitor the situation without turning on the emitting devices. Fu-22 with the radar turned off sees only what the pilot sees "glazedly", that is, practically nothing.

                At night, a black suit will reduce your visibility. But this decrease will not matter if you have the flashlight on, attached to your chest. The same is with EPR. While the radar is off, the plane is less visible. But he himself "sees" only what the pilot sees visually or with the help of the OLS system, which does not emit. There is no OLS on the Fu-22, so it is blind without a radar. Although less noticeable than a regular plane. The Su-57 has an OLS, and a good one. That is, he is not blind at all without turning on the radar.

              If you were interested in what the LPI mode of AFAR is, you would know. that so far there is no possibility of early warning and detection of the fact of radar operation in this mode.
              He has his own powerful means of STR and RTR.
              He has almost Ryl-time display of information received from AWACS aircraft.
              and he didn’t need OLS.
              Just not needed.
              He already detected targets over hundreds of kilometers - not including an active search for his radar,
              It was in those years.
              Now the best OLS is in the F-35 ...

If you don’t understand then, namely the theory of noise-like signals, you don’t know the theory of radio circuits, radio engineering, radar. And do not write false data - first, compare the level of the emitted noise-like radio signal with respect to the noise level, and then the same receiving noise-like radio signal with respect to noise - and you will never get a range above 50 km! The rest is advertising fairy tales, even the processing algorithms for receiving noise-like signals will not give anything with a weak, at the noise level, emitted signal! And your value of 1000 Hz will not be radiated in space - this is the range of sound frequencies (bass).

          You can also believe that the earth is round and not believe that the earth is flat ... most likely this and that is not true))) But you have no evidence or counterargument, neither in the first nor in the second case .. I will tell you more, there is a version that the earth is round, but flat ... you just need to decide if its edge is flat or steep. And with the fighters you need to decide where v4 ends and v5 begins.

          in any case, this is the only right way, even for overloads the limit for man has already been reached, it’s pointless to increase the speed / maneuverability of manned vehicles than for example the Su-57, at maximum overload conditions in the Su-57 such that it is already extremely difficult for pilots to cope, even only the best, the elite will be there in high-altitude suits, and the drone in this sense does not care and does not need years of training as for a pilot, not to mention the fact that people’s lives are not at risk

          Any pilot will be more expensive than a drone, you have to give birth to him, educate, learn, spend a bunch of PSU and fuel plus an airplane resource ...
          But after that, you may arise about the cost ...
          For reference, a pilot - a fighter captain of the Navy - costs the United States $ 250 and this is just training ...

          PAK FA compared with American counterparts
          Most modern fighters have computerized flight controls, and the devices also convert human efforts (changing the position of the handle or rudder pedals) into energy, which sets the machine's controls in motion. these devices limit the maneuvering ability of the aircraft so that the pilot's body can withstand the resulting overload. in fact, the wings, rudders and fluselage are also capable of withstanding overloads that will simply kill a person. the goal of the combat UAV program is to disembark the pilot from the plane and provide him with the opportunity to control from the information center. motto - "keep the pilot's head in the cockpit, let everything else stay at home"

          new UAVs will have very high performance characteristics and will be able to solve tasks that are too dangerous for manned fighters. Removing a person from an airplane will eliminate many of the restrictions currently imposed on his design. the mass of the pilot is only 15% of the mass of the payload, while the cost of his life-support systems reaches almost 50% of the cost of the aircraft. the presence of the pilot in the cockpit determines the duration of the flight, the need to seal the cockpit, dictates a certain location of the power plants. limits maneuverability, etc. UAVs will make it possible to strike from high altitudes, as well as participate in conventional attacks on the roadside maneuverability of an air defense fighter and even their missile weapons.

        I think that they are unlikely to be independent fighter robots, there has not yet been created such intelligence that would be trusted with the independent use of weapons.

        Most likely, it will be just a flying platform, from which, according to the radio command of the pilot of the leading fighter, aiming and shooting at the target will be performed.
        Also, along the flight path, it will most likely be tied by radio commands to the leading aircraft and is unlikely to be capable of independent maneuvering independent of the leading aircraft.

        And, if I am right in my assumptions, the question arises: how will this drone behave if it hits a leading plane (leaves the battle and turns back to the base or switches to ground control, but then why do you need control from the leading plane, because this it distracts his attention, then they would control only from the Earth).

        In addition, there was already a lot of information on the Internet about the takeover of American drones, and even if they take over control? He probably will not be able to shoot at his own, but ramming?

    I’m wondering. That No one at VO noticed one strong thing in terms of state drones. And there the location of the air intakes is always at the top. And this trend is smoothly moving to the 6th generation aircraft of all countries. For the air intake in the lower part a priori will give a glare from the radar during the maneuver.

    More important at times. It is known that the lower ESR is achieved in polygon conditions and for a certain narrow range of radio wavelengths. So this is not a panacea. And the OLS, by the way, allows you to monitor the situation without turning on the emitting devices. Fu-22 with the radar turned off sees only what the pilot sees "glazedly", that is, practically nothing. And when the radar is turned on, it "glows" for such hundreds of kilometers that the RCS does not matter.


    If you were interested in what the LPI mode of AFAR is, you would know. that so far there is no possibility of early warning and detection of the fact of radar operation in this mode.
    He has his own powerful means of STR and RTR.
    He has almost Ryl-time display of information received from AWACS aircraft.
    and he didn’t need OLS.
    Just not needed.
    He already detected targets over hundreds of kilometers - not including an active search for his radar,
    It was in those years.
    Now the best OLS is in the F-35 ...



    Both ours and Europeans pinpoint LPI, the question is distance. The best OLS among the French. They calmly spotted the F-35 from 95 km ..

    A "ligamentous" drone is temporary, too dependent on the broadband and noise immunity of the information exchange channel; when connected to a "brain" aircraft, it requires a 2nd crew member who will not be able to fully control more than 2 drones when performing a combat mission (the need to control a multitude of parameters and lack of time to perform a maneuver or perform another action), we will still come to the need for a full-fledged AI.

    May he not be an unmanned fighter. It will be a bomber of one bomb (272 kg bomb load weight kg.) Or, if you will, a reusable cruise missile. Subsonic and subtle.

    And if there are a hundred or two of such drones in the pack? Such a flock will be able to do a lot of trouble ... and the goal is hardly noticeable ... and the air defense systems and interceptors will still have to try hard to absorb such a swarm.

    Oh, Mine Goth, Nexus in his repertoire, 100-200 pieces, how will they fly at your place - along the front? together? a ball? friend after friend And of course, no one can detect such a cluster. Moreover, they fly in tandem with the Fighter, this is another 100-200 combat aircraft, well, well. Even if it will be possible to control 2-3 fighters from one fighter, what I doubt is at least 70 more combat aircraft. What a dreamer.

    The real value of the EPR of amerskiye pepelatsev is a terrible (commercial) secret even for the Pentagon. If you don't cheat, you won't sell. As a general rule, in practice it turns out that the characteristics declared by Western companies are "somewhat" exaggerated. That does not in the least confuse the sofa "experts" who are ready to relay any nonsense with foam at the mouth.
    How much will a sixth generation American aircraft cost if a fifth generation aircraft costs several hundred million? The navel will not untie?
    It will be necessary to see how many fifth-generation aircraft will pull the economies of producer countries. And is it necessary to create such aircraft !? NO to our money! This is about the same story that at one time, having happened to battleships, they are expensive, go to the bottom with one present.
    Most likely the fifth generation in this form will be few. Significant cost reduction in the coming years is difficult to expect. Most likely, we can expect the transition to less expensive drones of the sixth generation.
