The Pentagon named a hypersonic missile that will be the first to enter service with the US Army

The US Department of Defense issued a statement regarding the first hypersonic missiles that may appear in service with the US Army. According to the director of the program for hypersonic weapons at the Pentagon, Mike White, an approximate date has been set for the first deliveries of hypersonic missiles to the troops.

Mike White pointed out that the department's financial documents provide for a "fast-track procurement strategy" for hypersonic weapons in the second half of next (2022) year.

In addition, a US defense official has designated a missile that will be the first hypersonic weapon in the US Army's arsenal. According to him, such a weapon will be an airborne AGM-183A missile. At the moment, "various types of tests of this missile" are reportedly ongoing.

Mike White:

All we need today in this regard is to provide an opportunity to purchase a rocket from our industry partner Lockheed Martin. As soon as such an opportunity is provided on their part, we will immediately buy a hypersonic missile for the needs of the American army.

White acknowledges that the United States is currently lagging behind Russia and China in terms of the development of hypersonic missile technologies.

US official:

We understand how important it is today to close the gap. We have created a national imperative to move forward with AGM-183A hypersonic missile technology.

It was noted that it is planned to arm strategic bombers B-183 of the US Air Force with AGM-52A hypersonic missiles and their modifications at the first stage. Subsequently, such missiles can become part of the arsenal of F-15EX and F-35 fighters.

The relevant US department says that the AGM-183A rocket is capable of speeds above 5 M (the speed of sound).

The Pentagon's budget does not include funds for the purchase of hypersonic missiles.

And nevertheless, funds are allocated and the missiles will still be purchased.

The initial stage of design development for the creation of ARRW was carried out by Lockheed Martin - the cost of work under a contract signed by the US military authorities back in 2018 was estimated at $ 480 million. The first stage of R&D was completed by the end of 2020. The full contract, providing for the development, testing and preparation for the launch of the rocket into series, was signed at the end of 2019. The total amount of the contract is about $ 989 million. The construction completion date is December 2022.

In June 2020, the United States Air Force ordered eight prototypes supersonic missile ARRW. Flight tests are scheduled for fiscal 2021 and 2022. Four of the eight missiles will enter service in fiscal 2023 (or at the end of calendar 2022).

But ...

I may be confusing something ... but: ordered eight prototypes... This is not a nifiga order for a series of combat operations. They can buy at least 100500 prototypes. What's the point of them?

And I would note another moment. Tsarek, when bragging about hyper weapons, announced to us that the Americans would lag behind us for 10-15 years, hinting that we would come up with something else in this long period. And then what a surprise happened! Maybe you just shouldn't have grabbed?

What kind of surprise happened? AMG-183A is still in trials, the last two did not happen, did not smack ...

I'm not an adherent of minke whales, but the appearance of hypersound in them is a natural development of events. We must respect their science and technology. They are able to present us with more than one surprise. And it is very difficult to keep the palm in this matter. Therefore, one should not "rest on our laurels." And the Chinese do not stand still.

[KCA]

I don't think that someone is resting, I am sure there are still many surprises in the bins of the Motherland, not long ago, for example, the intention to develop a light single-engine fighter was discussed, they argued whether it was necessary / not necessary, but here, oh shit, a ready-made prototype is being rolled out

[Sergey Averchenkov]

With respect to science and technology, but not to them.

Why impatiently? The US is following the same path as China and Russia.
In acceptable dimensions (4 pieces on 2 pylons on the B-52), the rocket acceleration and hypersonic gliding descent schemes are enough for a range of up to 1500 km
The creation of a reliable ramjet engine would either increase the range or reduce the size. They move like the Chinese and I. Actually, there are no obstacles and no - routine debugging. Actually, only the silent Chinese are worried. Here they can turn out from "nothing serious to a fig for myself"
Under "real" hypersound it was customary to understand motor flight under the ramjet engine. Now, thanks to the efforts of reporters, anyone, even a ballistic one. But no one seems to have a decent ramjet engine. Otherwise, a rocket of the dimensions of a Dagger, or Zircon, or AGM-183A would fly from Moscow to Novosibirsk ..

[voyaka uh]

AGM-183A is an air-launched ballistic missile with a glider warhead.
There are no direct-flow engines either on the launch vehicle or on the glider.

[KCA]

It's just that a similar rocket "Dagger" was criticized in every possible way and was called not hypersonic, I wrote about this, you read here and on other forums criticism about the "Dagger"

[voyaka uh]

There is a dispute over the terms of what to call "hypersonic".

If any missile that exceeds 5 MAX, then it turns out that
and the Nazi FAU-2, and large missiles - hypersonic missiles.

And gliders from space without an engine at all also turn
into hypersonic weapons.

If we consider hypersonic only CDs with a ramjet engine,
it turns out the other way around: there is not a single serial rocket performing
this condition. Prototypes only.

[dauria]

it turns out the other way around: there is not a single serial rocket performing
this condition.

You know, something seems to be and not the fact that it will appear. Who needs a single-mode ramjet engine if the planning hypersonic descent solves the problem at all ranges from operational to intercontinental.
Unless it will be possible to seriously reduce the dimensions in order to fit more of them into the same B-52. But it is unlikely - the overclocking accelerator still hangs like a weight on its feet.
But the combined turbojet, which can turn into a direct-flow one, is a topic worthwhile for aircraft.

[KCA]

And Cho is not around the world in 80 minutes? They have been engaged in ramjet engines since the 50s, well, no one has achieved success? How much fuel will fit in the dimensions of the KR, or have you come up with refueling in flight? Zircon in terms of dimensions does not exceed a length of 9m and a width of 0,67, otherwise it will not fit into the TPK and PU, minus the accelerating stage, what volume remains there? How much fuel can you pour into it, albeit for an economical ramjet?

[Cananecat]

this is the provision of the opportunity to purchase a rocket by our industry partner Lockheed Martin

Will the cost of this missile be equal to the cost of the F-35? ))

I highlighted the key word. Well, where are those scribes who bowed the 75th? Let's get started, because the merkiatos also has a racket in the project. And is it in the LAYOUT?

[Boa kaa]

Quote: aszzz888

And is it in the LAYOUT?

Yes, it seems to be something like this:

Previously, according to the US Air Force's GZO development program, it was assumed that this aeroballistic swell would have the following characteristics:

air-based rapid response weapons (AGM-183 Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon - a warhead capable of speeds up to Mach 20, with a flight range of about 925 kilometers).
The Pentagon said that the US military will conduct 2024 tests of hypersonic missiles by 40, which will then enter the troops.

But other data has recently appeared:

Preliminary characteristics of the AGM-183A ARRW missile in an interview with Air Force Magazine were revealed by US Air Force Major General Andrew J. Gebara, Director of Strategic Plans, Programs and Requirements, US Air Force Strategic Command. When it comes to land miles, this gives a maximum firing range of about 1600 km and a warhead speed between M = 6,5 and M = 8. Even the approximate characteristics of ARRW have not been disclosed before. The general also announced that the B-52 will be capable of carrying four ARRW missiles on external sling - two on each pylon.

And, a small remark, for Voyaka UH:

Structurally, ARRW is a solid-propellant air-launched missile with a warhead in the form detachable hypersonic warhead with rocket engine Tactical Boost Glide (TBG), for some time already created under the auspices of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) of the US Department of Defense. Strategic bombers B-52H and B-1B should be equipped with a missile as a matter of priority, while it was reported that it is being created in both non-nuclear and nuclear versions.

It turns out that the GZ block does have an accelerator, as usual, solid fuel ... AHA.

Is it too early to report? First you need to get somewhere with this rocket.

An interesting situation, striped missiles do not have hyper-missiles, but we already have anti-missiles. I like.

Really. There were no cartoons and Comrade Xi is not a fan of bragging. Or maybe the Americans have a good intelligence service? In any case, the striped ones clearly know something.

[tralflot1832]

Who knows, it was infa that the Chinese on a walking dry cargo ship DF 21 shook and hit. If this is true, this is horror for the Americans. In the morning, the US Congress is concerned about a default. Okay, after Christmas, this is already common, but in the summer? Social networks are not enough, not to mention weapons. On Monday, let's see what and how. They used to succeed in printing money wisely, but now they just need to. Otherwise, they will have hyper-super missiles from both Trump and the can.

While we shoot "Zircon" at stationary ground targets from a range of no more than 450 km, and brag about our achievements, the Americans can adopt this AGM-183A dream missile. TTD missiles are impressive ...

[apricot]

"and brag about their accomplishments, the Americans can adopt this AGM-183A dream missile."

It is unlikely that they have problems along the way with technologies, otherwise they would not have called for cooperation from satellites, but if they master them, given their financial capabilities, we will have to strain a lot.

Neither xs technologies have any problems and had no "PA go". They have a problem with the implementation of these technologies and with goal setting. With such a fleet, from 25 years ago it was possible to rivet nuclear submarines of the Kursk type with the same missiles. Or the P-1000 type.
