"There was an engine ignition": a commission was formed in the United States to find out the reasons for the unsuccessful flight tests of the AGM-183A ARRW hypersonic missile

In the United States, a commission has been created to find out the reasons for the unsuccessful flight tests of a promising air-launched hypersonic missile. Recall that on July 28, a hypersonic version of the AGM-183A (ARRW) rocket was used from the US Air Force B-52 strategic bomber over the Point Mugu training ground. Then the rocket engine immediately caught fire. And, as it was stated in the official report, "the missile was unable to hit the target."

American Brigadier General Heath Collins, head of the US Air Force weapons program, comments on the situation:

We cannot yet determine what exactly went wrong. The engine was ignited. A special commission has been formed to find out the reasons for the unsuccessful test of the hypersonic missile.

According to the general, the timing of further tests has to be shifted until the reasons for the failure in previous flight tests are clarified.

Heath Collins:

We still hope to get back to testing as soon as possible. We do not yet know whether it will be necessary to change the layout (design) of the rocket, how long it will take and whether it may affect our willingness to use the next "time window" for testing such weapons.

It is important to point out that the 2022 budget specifies the purchase of 12 hypersonic air-launched missiles for the US Air Force. The general has not yet been able to unequivocally answer whether the manufacturers and developers will have time to eliminate the technical problems that arose with the rocket during the tests.

General Collins:

We understand that building a prototype hypersonic missile is a risky move. But efforts to make progress help overcome technical challenges. For example, we have already fixed a bug that prevented us from performing the first flight of the rocket at the beginning of the year.

At the same time, the brigadier general did not say what specific technical complexity was in question. Now it became known that the hypersonic AGM-183A ARRW has significant engine problems. According to some reports, the issue of the efficiency of the fuel used in the rocket has not been resolved. Already at the first stage, a detonation of such a force takes place, which leads to the ignition of the entire volume of fuel. Experts believe that this poses a threat to the carrier itself, which is still the B-52 bomber. The explosion of a rocket in the air is capable of destroying an aircraft firing a rocket.

... Race.
The situation, of course, is not the one when “whoever didn’t have time is late,” they are in a hurry, this is obvious.

[knn54]

-the 2022 budget specifies the purchase of 12 air-launched hypersonic missiles for the US Air Force.
There are no missiles, the budget has not been utilized. They can CUT to 2023.
And this is like a sickle for Faberge.

[rocket757]

For the loss of such a tasty morsel, they can pick someone up to the carrier instead of a rocket and launch it into flight!

[Alex777]

The main thing is that in this haste the carrier plane is not blown up ... Although ...

[rocket757]

He who does not take risks ... does not jump with a parachute!
So, hurry up slowly, BUT, you can't foresee everything.
Something will surely manifest itself, Murphy's law, hammer, sandwich ...

[Egor53]

The US Congress must, well, simply must, pass a law according to which a rocket flying at a speed of 3M is considered hypersonic if at least 50 gays, transgender people and transvestites took part in its development. And there is no need to cut any budget.

[Barberry25]

this is not a race .. this is a direct violation of the procedure for the development and testing of weapons .. the Americans loved all the deadlines and polymers, therefore they burst into "we need launches", because the "damned commies" already have the second rocket completing the test, and 2 more at the initial stage tests and one more is announced in development, and we have not finished one ...

[Popandos]

The explosion of a rocket in the air is capable of destroying an aircraft firing a rocket.

Bravoooo
And you can once more for an encore, so to speak,
Oh please

Work ... the road will be mastered by the walker. The road is difficult, rocky and uphill. And not the fact that you will quickly reach. Previously, you could send spies or buy engineers along with secrets ... But now something is not working ...

The rocket is still being tested, it does not really fly, the sores are not only not identified, but even unknown. But they are already buying ... and no one sees any contradictions.
In the Russian Federation, they test and test for a year or two, eliminate sores, then they just buy a batch for test operation. And that product may still go for revision or even for scrap.
And then we wonder why the US military budget is larger than all the combined budgets of other countries. Here. Therefore. Enchanting cut.

There is a complete analogy with the Fu-35. Long-term "doping" during operation, so to speak. Well, let the rocket first start the engine, and then it is already separated from the carrier ... or not separated. Loot is more important.

[Alexander 3]

They can, of course, catch such a missile of ours with an aircraft carrier or a ship, and then study it, if possible. We do not recommend it, they are non-collapsible.

[Incvizitor]

They bought a batch of marriage from them and with fu 35 and are happy.

[Barberry25]

the whole joke is that they are on the trail. they will buy it in a year and say that the rocket is only from them, and the rest are fake.

And that, after these American cracoidol tears, Russia should put its hypersonic weapons on a shelf, in the far corner? Let's act American, America's problems with hyper, these are not our problems. And here everyone tells us that we are lagging behind in technology!

[Marachuh]

I don’t even understand ... "creating a hypersonic weapon is a risky step ..." So you have already created, and the Russians and the Chinese have stolen your super-super missile from you ?! Or what?

[Alex777]

Quote: Marachuh

Or what?

They can't even steal. Not something to create.

[Wedmak]

How have you already created, and the Russians and the Chinese have stolen your super-super rocket from you ?!

So everything is correct. The Russians stole EVERYTHING, now they don't remember how they did it! We have to start all over again.

[gridasov]

They are definitely like children! They look for reasons in design, but do not look for causes in the physical process leading to accidents.
Hyperspeed is not sledding. This is a completely new level of physical processes, which must be understood on the basis of new mathematical methods of analysis, as complex, highly potential and highly dynamic.

Yeah. All previous failures with hypersound have not taught them anything yet.
Let them train. They will be quieter when the Congress and Senate finally understand how difficult everything is. The military has long understood, but are silent.

[Kindred]

This is all the mental, invisible influence of Russia. Exactly, exactly.

[rotmistr60]

We cannot yet determine what exactly went wrong.

I hope in this case the Russians are not to blame? And then, under Trump, accusations were made against us of stealing technologies for hypersonic weapons from the Americans. Only here is the paradox - we fly and are accepted into service, but those who have been "stolen" still do not succeed.

[gridasov]

One can be absolutely sure that no progress has been made in Russia either in understanding the technology of the hyperspeed flight mode. The solution, which is positioned as achieving hyperspeed, is based on the use of near-space flight technologies and overcoming the dense electromagnetic shells of the planet. But this is in no way connected with the technology of high-speed movement in an atmosphere of continuous media of various densities. That is, Americans are simply naive and do not delve into understanding the essence of decisions.

I had to ask Elon Musk - he would definitely do it.

[alch3mist]

I had to ask Elon Musk - he would definitely do it.

But it could only be launched from Tesla.

[vovochkarzhevsky]

Interestingly, are they planning to remove the B-52 from service, or are they waiting for them to fall apart?

[gridasov]

You can be absolutely sure that before tackling specific and breakthrough scientific and technical problems, you must first create technologies for finding people with breakthrough thinking. Americans, on the other hand, rely on financial capabilities. But can young visionaries, without deep scientific knowledge and methods of working with big data, manipulate a variable set of ideas? And this is also the task of finding people with a real view of events.

This is an excellent result!

[gridasov]

Even a missile that has not exploded can give such an impulse when ejecting masses that it will either rip off the attachments or destroy the missile itself at the attachment point, or tear off the wing elements. Therefore, in order to create a reference impulse, it is obviously necessary to launch the rocket in the opposite vector from the movement of the starting object, so as not to destroy the carrier. In general, from a physical point of view, it is more convenient to create an initial impulse using the well-known simple method from centrifugal forces. By the way, how to create an additional impulse of a bullet, rocket, projectile in order to raise the initial flight speed by an order of magnitude?

[White man]

Spin a rocket, a shell in a sling?

[vovochkarzhevsky]

How much does an old man need? And so all in wrinkles from the past years.
