Pentagon Accelerates Work on Hypersonic Weapons

The Pentagon has opened a special operations center to accelerate work on hypersonic arms... This was announced by the US Deputy Secretary of Defense for Procurement and Logistics Ellen Lord.

Speaking at a conference on the prospects for the development of hypersonic weapons in the United States, Lord said that in order to accelerate the development of hypersonic weapons, the Pentagon decided to open a special center that would combine all available information on ongoing developments in this direction.



The US Department of Defense has established a hypersonic weapons operations center in order to thoroughly study all aspects of the development of such systems (...) is necessary for both the Department and the defense complex in order to assess the real needs of the industry in an environment where the Department seeks to accelerate the production of hypersonic systems

- added the deputy minister, stressing that the United States needs to create "more powerful weapons."

(...) it is necessary to create more powerful means of destruction and accelerate the delivery of such means to the troops. The Department of Defense must act quickly, given the importance of the task

- she said.

It should be noted that recently in the United States at a high level, it has been repeatedly stated that the United States is lagging behind Russia and China in creating the latest weapons.

For our part, we add that according to available information, the United States is currently conducting nine projects to create hypersonic weapons. As US Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said earlier, the Pentagon has significantly increased spending on the development of "land, air and sea-based hypersonic munitions."

      Are you talking in haste? Md-ah what ...
      It is very similar to the arms race, in which the United States joined, and apparently this race in the development of hypersonic missiles is proceeding under the conditions set by Russia ...

      Why not ? If the "arms race" of the Cold War period actually proceeded on the US terms, why can't it be the other way around now? At least in this
      aerospace technology industry?

          And what is the relationship? Many Russian defense industry enterprises have no share price at all, as well as the shares themselves. these enterprises are FSUE. If you do not understand the topic - do not write, so as not to look stupid. The share price is the level of income for investors, not the quality of development.

                    No amount of deposits will change the fact that Russia has a hypersonic missile and the United States does not. In this case, the Americans are the catching-up side. And neither my "pride" nor "investor deposits" will cancel this fact, even though all the money of all American citizens will be invested in Boeing - "Zircon" will not disappear anywhere, and the American analogue will not appear at once.

    And in general, I think that Putin in vain spoke so openly about our super-duper. The experience of the USSR was not used in the creation and testing of nuclear weapons. Let's go ahead of the curve. Now the Americans cannot be stopped. It's like space. The main thing now is to prevent the deployment of missiles and nuclear weapons near our borders. But I think we’re already late. The Americans will not be afraid as long as the family and business of our officials are held hostage by them. Now, if Putin demonstratively begins to dismiss and remove officials and deputies who have at least a residence permit in another state, then maybe the United States will believe that Russia can apply its "vigorous super-duper" to them. But this is from the realm of fantasy!

    Slowly slowly over the years they made a hyper duper rocket and at the same time quickly and quickly sawed the budget for this rocket.Decoding: During the day, slowly, slowly, for half an hour, they created a rocket, and then quickly and quickly for 7 hours 30 minutes sawing the budget, while reporting to the top victorious reports about a super duper rocket, which no one else has on planet Earth. And how it turned out, the fifth point will subtract. This is what the use of Soviet eyewash in production leads to. Then rumors reached that the Pentagon (not 305 microdistrict in Murmansk) from Washington requested from of all Technical Universities that at least somehow sideways in the topic of hyperweapons throw all their forces to eliminate the lag. Since they have already followed the path of the USSR, one candidate, well, the spitting image of LIBrezhnev, by age, they need to use the experience of Stalin's Sharazheki and it is behind barbed wire, maybe then And so the United States more and more resembles a passenger carriage standing at a dead end with closed windows, from an anecdote from the times of L And Brezhnev, in which housing, health care, education were for some reason free.

            There is no need to think that the Iskander missile has the same performance characteristics as the Dagger missile. The insides can be different. Even the Iskander complex is armed with several types of missiles, different in properties, although their external shape is the same.

    It is very similar to the arms race, in which the United States joined, and apparently this race in the development of hypersonic missiles is proceeding under the conditions set by Russia ...

    Under the conditions set by Russia? I don’t think so. We initiated this hypersonic arms race, but the Americans are going their own way. We, for example, have such hypersonic systems as the ballistic Dagger and the winged Zircon. The Americans are doing similar work. Both ballistic and now frozen winged (X-51).
    But in addition to aviation and the fleet, like ours, they are developing in the interests of the army (we have silence for now). But this is not even the main point. We are limited in the choice of aircraft carriers (a certain number of MIG-31 and TU-22M3), they also have at least 4 dozen so-called. "non-nuclear bombers" B-52 and about the same number of B-1B. And taking into account the deployment in the coming years of the production of B-21 (sometimes called B-3), a certain number of B-52s may become "non-nuclear" and become carriers of hypersonic missiles. Plus the development of missiles to arm the F-18 ... So they will go their own way. And won't it turn out that we will have to catch up with them in the number of carriers

    The USA fussed under the client ..)))) They offered them, let's agree on a good one ..
    Let them catch up and swallow dust

    Their X-43 in 2004 set a record for a flight at a hypersonic speed of more than 9M, the X-51 was launched from the B-52. And although both programs are frozen (or covered up), the whole cycle of research, development work and tests has passed. If necessary, 3-5 more tests will be carried out and put into series. When will we have an airborne hypersonic missile system? So who is catching up with whom? It is not necessary to shrug and engage in capriciousness. We have initiated a hypersonic arms race, but it is not clear what this will result in us

    The Pentagon has opened a special operations center to accelerate work on hypersonic weapons. This was announced by the US Deputy Secretary of Defense for Procurement and Logistics Ellen Lord.
    belay They took nine women and want a baby in a month. request

    They made specialized COORDINATION the operational center for the development of the weapon state protection system. And here, as always, everyone pulls the blanket over himself. Remember how the Americans got involved in the 60s luen program, when all the resources of the state were concentrated in a fist, and like ours. When KB Korolev was engaged in one carrier, KB Yangel - in another, KB Chelomey - in a third, and KB Glushko, made the engines he wanted, and not what were needed for the lunar program. So here too, the Joke about 9 pregnant women does not roll here

    Painfully similar to Russian. Stole?

    The one at the beginning of the article? Very deep knowledge. Here are just photos of this 10 years old, maybe a little more.
    This rocket was tested even before our Zircon began to be developed. So it is not a mistake for knowledge of technology

    Let them speed up. The F-35 was accelerated to become more expensive than gold of the same mass, and the development edge was not visible, and now they started talking about the next modernization of the F / A-18. Let them do what they have done best lately: promise, nag, postpone, and cancel.

    In such cases, it is better to have some kind of focal point that would solve all the "narrow" moments. So that it does not happen that each of the firms will pull the "blanket over itself." In principle, there is always a sense in such an organ.
