In the US, they are going to track launches of hypersonic weapons

The concept from the US military-industrial company Northrop Grumman leads at one of the stages of the competition for the development of orbital early warning systems, Defense Connect reports.

Earlier, officials from the United States Missile Defense Agency (MDA) selected four bidders to develop a prototype for a new ballistic missile detection system and hypersonic targets.

The Pentagon has allocated approximately 20 million US dollars to each company that will have to demonstrate their concepts and technical solutions on this issue in 2020.

The tasks were undertaken by Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Harris Corporation and Leidos. They are responsible for the development of key technologies under the Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS) program. The 12-month study will focus on the creation of several surveillance and early warning satellites, the purpose of which will be to detect and track the launches of hypersonic missiles.

It was previously reported that existing missile defense systems are not able to repel hypersonic attacks weapons. Experts suggested that for these purposes, in particular, the modernization of the THAAD missile defense systems is possible, as well as the development of weapons based on fundamentally new solutions - involving the space component.

And they know how to cut loot ...

So they are pioneers in this business.

So they are not an imitated authority for ours .. and we are a miserable parody in comparison with them .. corruption there is elevated to the law and lobbying for interests is their norm .. however, I’m sure that our officials will catch up and overtake in this matter ..

[demo]

I thought so.
Now they will study for 12 months and how they will give out the budget !!!!!
Here is the happiness that prevailed that there are Russians on earth!
One would like to rephrase - if there weren’t Russians, then they should be thought up!

[nikon7717]

And it reminds me of the next pictures of star wars. Only at a new level

[comradChe]

Weak to the end to think of it or didn’t give such a task? Russia pays for EVERYTHING and will pay in the future under the existing regime. It only seems that there is no reception against scrap. There is nothing to oppose against stabbing in the back with a knife.

[Lord of the Sith]

This is to know how long they burn up in an atomic flame?))

So all the same, they will not be able to bring down hypersonic weapons.
But, however, the expectation of death is worse than death itself)

Although this is just cutting the dough, scaring the hamsters with "evil Russians" so that they pay money)

Here is another free brand for them: If a Russian person decided not to do anything, then he cannot be stopped!

The Pentagon has allocated approximately $ 20 million to each company,

It is good that they are only just beginning to develop these observation satellites, and what they can do will be shown by life.

Amy have a space echelon SPRN. Now 27 (4 devices are active) satellites of the SBIRS system are hanging.

Despite the fact that the SBIRS system itself is fairly new, the United States has already stepped up work to replace it. It was even decided to abandon the launch of the seventh and eighth geostationary satellites and reallocate resources to an earlier launch of the satellites of the new Next Gen OPIR system. In the summer of 2018, the first contracts were already issued - Lockheed Martin for three geostationary satellites and Northrop Grumman for two polar ones. The first launch was postponed from 2025 to 2023. Details about the capabilities of the new system are unknown, but specifically mention the increased survivability of satellites. In addition, it is known that the issue of deployment and low-orbit satellites is being studied.

The space arms race = today's reality.

So far, except on a computer virtually, tracking such a weapon is virtually impossible. To do this, you need to have a lot of information, from the exact time and place of launch of the carrier, weather conditions on the flight path of the weapon, you need to have constant data on the speed of the rocket, on all its maneuvers. ... So this is so far only plans for the United States. They will create their own missile, be fully able to take all the stages under continuous control, in case of a successful launch, then they may even think how, by analogy with their missiles, we should try to search and track our missiles.

[Proton]

They followed, scratched their turnips, asked for money (with yelling omg, the Russians are coming!) And again, as let's watch

SOI are coming back.

[Mountain shooter]

How are they going to distinguish between a ballistic missile launch and a hypersonic missile launch? "Vanguard" is also hyper ... Only he enters the atmosphere, and scratched to maneuver ... Well, he saw them flying ... Signal across the country: five minutes left for prayer? Radically...

[Blackmokona]

Why distinguish between? It is necessary to track and transfer data to missile defense systems.

Eugene, here you can give an analogy that "when a mosquito sits on your eggs, you understand that you can always solve the problem without using force"

If you track the start from 31miga, you can have time to roll 200 grams of viskar) is also a matter ..

The price of the issue is just the PRICE! The main thing is the end result.
That's as soon as ... the moment comes! there will be a subject for discussion.

[Prisoner]

Let them track if it makes it easier for them. Just what does it give when you see where it flies from, but you can’t answer?

[Vasyan1971]

Well. And here just now, several people were beating themselves in the chest, saying that Russia does not have hypersonic missiles, that the Dagger is not hyper, but the usual Iskander, and so on ... Well, along the way, they were very impolite.
But for some reason, the Americans became alarmed ...

[Pashhenko Nikolay]

We love to let dust in our eyes for a loud headline. Ballistic missiles are the same hypersonic as the Dagger. And in exactly the same way they are displayed by means of early warning. Well, the Americans decided to create a new early warning system on new principles, their right, progress does not stand still .But if it is out of place to attribute "Dagger", then the news will sparkle with new and bright colors.

[KCA]

But because they are ballistic, they are ballistic because they fly along a ballistic trajectory that can be easily calculated and an interceptor missile, Dagger and Vanguard can be sent, and even more so, Zircon can maneuver, and the change in direction of flight is even less than a degree will send the interceptor going nowhere
