The US Air Force announced the start of production of hypersonic missiles under the ARRW program

The production of hypersonic missiles under the ARRW (Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon) AGM-183 program in the interests of the US Air Force is planned to be deployed in 2021 or 2022. Will Roper, Assistant Secretary of the US Air Force for Procurement, Technology and Logistics, announced this.

We are very close to launching the AGM-183, the first hypersonic weapon USA. This will happen in FY2022. To be placed on the B-52. This will provide us with the potential to deliver a quick strike out of the reach of weapons. (...) I think this creates a good dilemma for the opponent

- stated Roper.

According to him, the B-52H Stratofortress strategic bombers (four missiles for one strategist) will be the first to receive a hypersonic missile.

Earlier it was reported that the US Air Force and Lockheed Martin signed a contract worth $ 988,8 million to create a hypersonic missile ARRW (Airborne Rapid Response Weapon). The agreement includes a critical review of the ARRW project, support for testing and preparation of the complex for production.

In February of this year, Lockheed Martin announced the successful defense of the project of a promising hypersonic aeroballistic missile ARRW (Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon), which has been under development by order of the US Air Force since 2018. The missile should be ready by 2021, and the initial operational readiness by 2022. According to the company, work is progressing on schedule.

The Americans are actively developing offensive weapons, and a new AGM-88G AARGM-ER air-to-surface missile with electronic warfare functions has also been developed to reliably suppress modern and future air defense systems by F-35A fighters before bombing attacks.

It is assumed that the electronic warfare system located on the AARGM-ER will jam the anti-aircraft radar systems, which should allow American missiles to attack air defense systems unhindered.

The prototypes of the RQ-180 UAVs have also been created, which are distinguished by low radar signature, the drone is capable of continuously operating in the sky for a day at an altitude of 18 kilometers, seven RQ-180 prototypes have already been made.

Judging by the photo, the rocket does not have a ramjet engine, in fact it has a rocket engine. A question to local "experts" who repeatedly stated that "a hypersonic missile only with a ramjet engine" and this one was sent with some or no changes, was also on other sites topics. Their answer in this case is curious.

[voyaka uh]

This is a common BR. The engine runs for about a minute.
The rocket gives a candle and goes up to a height of 40-50 km.
Flies at hypersonic speed along a ballistic trajectory.
Guided but inertial, plus GPS, plus correction at the terminal area.
Works on stationary objects.
In general, an analogue of Iskander / Dagger.

[Zaurbek]

Iskander and the GPS Point have an auxiliary system. There are quite complex seeker with radar and optics and target recognition and flight with a more complex trajectory.

[voyaka uh]

There is no radar station in Iskander.
There is an optical system that works in the last seconds
before hitting a target, when Iskander falls almost vertically,
braking from hyper to supersonic speed.
Optics allows you to reduce the CEP from 100 to 10 m.
Iskander has no maneuvering in the middle (ballistic) sector.
It may wiggle slightly on takeoff (to make interception more difficult)
and adjust your own accuracy at the terminal site.
Iskander is a good weapon, although it is "heavy" in weight and size.
But don't exaggerate its capabilities.

[Volder]

Quote: voyaka uh

There is no radar station in Iskander. Iskander has no maneuvering in the middle (ballistic) sector.

Iskander may have more than one ballistic missile. What rockets are made of and how they behave in flight, no one knows for sure. One can only be content with open general information and conjectures based on physical laws.

[Intruder]

Flies at hypersonic speed along a ballistic trajectory.

maybe a gliding unit, but then it will be low-maneuverable from a height of 40-50, because it loses energy on descent in the layers of the stratosphere on the marching section, although we know little about the flight algorithm, and about its engine, more precisely we do not know from the word: "nicking" !

[voyaka uh]

Iskander is a single-stage solid-propellant ballistic missile with a non-detachable warhead.

[Zaurbek]

Is it a BR or a Rucker with a ramjet engine?

[voyaka uh]

Pure BR, like Iskander.

[voyaka uh]

This is, as it were, the American version of the Dagger.
The OTBR was hung on the plane.

[Zaurbek]

It looks like I agree. And they did it very quickly. BR is suitable for this.

The only difference is that we have strategists who are sharpened to carry out nuclear tasks. They, in addition to the same "atomic" bombers, also have so-called. "non-nuclear" bombers. Both B-52N and B-1B. And if necessary, they will remove from storage more pieces of 30 B-52Gs and a certain number of B-1Bs in storage there. As a result, after a while they will be able to have up to 100 bombers, which can be equipped with hypersonic weapons. How much can we do? Upgrade a number of TU-22M3? So it is worth treating such information with due attention.

To equip bombers with new missiles (especially hypersonic ones), they need to be modernized. So far, they have neither super-duper missiles nor upgraded aircraft for these missiles. By the way, those aircraft that are in storage are used as donors of spare parts. parts, i.e. they will never take off. According to the Pentagon's official data, less than 50% of the bombers on the payroll are in combat readiness.

[Intruder]

1B. And if necessary, they will remove from storage more pieces of 30 B-52Gs and a certain number of B-1Bs in storage there.

and it is impossible to hang one hypersonic on the B-2, with the possibility of modernizing the suspension units, then perhaps it would not be necessary to bother with conservation, although all the same all this fortune-telling on coffee grounds while we have, we do not know any characteristics or other parameters this UR with scramjet, and is there really the same scramjet in reality in the shown sample product !?

[Intruder]

Hypersonic weapons are the new frontier in warfare and they come in two types: boost glide weapons and powered atmospheric weapons. Boost glide weapons — a category that includes Arrow, Tactical Boost Glide, and apparently Hacksaw — are unpowered weapons boosted to high altitudes by rockets and released to glide down to target at hypersonic speeds — hence the name. Powered atmospheric weapons use engines such as scramjets for propulsion.

So it is the 183rd, more likely with a gliding unit in atmospheric flight, and possibly with a ramjet engine, but how did they put this ramjet engine in the shown hull, an interesting question !?

[Old26]

Quote: Volder

Frankly speaking, I'm tired of writing for the tenth time at least that this is a fake voiced by our "advanced journalists" who are not even able to clarify from the interviewee what he meant.
Okay, I can write for the eleventh time

Unlike the missiles that were previously in service with the Soviet and Russian armies, the designation of Iskander missiles is more complex. If the same Oka missile had one single designation - 9M714 (and the letters after the index spoke of combat equipment, without going into details how this head was designated), then the Iskander has its own designation of the warhead, and there is a designation for the missile parts. The designation of the missile unit is the same for all - 9M723. But the designation of warheads can be different: the nuclear - one, the high-explosive fragmentation - another, the cluster - the third (9N722K1 and 9N722K5), the high-explosive - incendiary - the fifth, the penetrating - six. But in fact it is the same missile, just with different warheads. In other cases, this difference was indicated by different letters after the number.
But journalists are the main sensation. They didn't even ask what the interviewee meant. That is why Iskander had 7 missiles with different warheads. The internal filling (control system, engines, fuel charge) are the same. Separate more homing heads, but at the same time being the same missile. So, these 7 Iskander missiles are "roaming the Internet". combat equipment is not yet different missiles

To equip bombers with new missiles (especially hypersonic ones), they need to be modernized. So far, they have neither super-duper missiles nor upgraded aircraft for these missiles.

What prevents them from carrying out such modernization now, without waiting for the end of the tests of this missile? There is B-1B. If its length is more than 4,5 meters (and judging by the photo, this is so). then only 2 and 3 bomb compartments are upgraded (the partition is shifted and the rotor installation is replaced with a "longer" one. Plus they are installed under the fuselage holders in the amount of 7-8 pieces (for two missiles each holder). The weapon control system is modernized (if required), and other electronics, possibly motors.
Even if we take into account that now the Americans have 1 EMNIP machines in service with B-62Vs and they plan to write off 2021 of them in 17, they still have 45 units.
The same is with the B-52N. Leaving their 52 "nuclear" B-47H bombers unchanged, they can upgrade their 52 "non-nuclear" B-41H bombers by installing 2 holders for 2 missiles on each.

Quote: Volder

By the way, those aircraft that are in storage are used as donors of spare parts. parts, i.e. they will never take off.

Not all. The Americans have a program to resuscitate the bombers on the HH. Now I don’t remember the number, you have to dig in the archive, but they can upgrade from storage about (not exactly, but approximately) 10 or 12 V-52H, up to 24 B-52G bombers and 4-6 B-1B bombers. If we sum up it turns out:
41 "non-nuclear" В-52Н, 45 "non-nuclear" В-1В "plus from 38 (minimum) to 42 (maximum) bombers in long-term storage. By the way, at that airbase there is a much larger number of В-52s used as donors. Those, here you are right, will never take off. So even if you take the minimum, the Americans are able to equip from 110 to 128 bombers with hypersonic ballistic missiles. Even if we assume that they will not restore B-52Gs, then such there will be just from 100 to 104 bombers-carriers of the GZBR.

According to the Pentagon's official data, less than 50% of the bombers on the payroll are in combat readiness.

You think. that we have a larger percentage of the payroll is in combat readiness? Of course, we are not 100% either. And when an aircraft (bomber) is waiting for a queue for repairs and upgrades, then, of course, it is not on the list.
Take the same data exchanges. There is such a position as "not deployed" media. Even the Americans had 71% of strategists in combat readiness in the middle of last year (these are B-2A and B-52N)
