Generally speaking, when the DoD "cancels" something, all the research, materials, personnel, etc go right to another program with a new name that does basically the same thing, but with new requirements/targets, a new timetable to reach it, and some reshuffling behind the scenes. No programs ever really "die", they just become more or less relevant as they move through revisions. A great example would be the railgun, which they never really stopped looking into.

Nice C&C reference.

You showed us some pretty interesting stuff. I expect this whole approch to dominating the battlefield to be pretty interesting in the coming years. This approch could make conventional war by near peer adversaries very difficult.

You've long repeatedly stated that hypersonic glide vehicles could be used to maneuver around air defense assets. However the faster an object is going the less maneuverability it can have. Turning too quickly could theoretically rip the missile apart. You can make the object able to sustain higher Gs by making it more sturdy, but that increases weight and makes the tyranny of the rocket equation even worse. Has there been a study in the practical limits of maneuverability of HGVs? I understand that with the SR-71 at full speed, maneuverability was along the lines of "Turn left at that mountain". Would HGVs be in a similar boat? Further, Habitual Linecrosser has pointed out that maneuvering around air defense is a lot more difficult when the air defense system is co-located with the expected target, which is the US's standard policy. Intercepting hypersonic munitions that aren't targeting you is a lot harder to be sure, but why are we so confident that hypersonic munitions would be likely to penetrate say, an aircraft carrier's strike group's AEGIS?

That and getting and holding on to a radar locked target. The hypersonic cruise missiles we are developing for location, not target like a ground to air missile. Hypersonic weapons still have trouble with a radar lock, I doubt China suddenly figured it out. Doesn't matter of the glide vehicle is fast, it isn't going from the east coast of China to a moving ship in a couple seconds.

@ThatGuyKazz

2 ай бұрын

So you're correct in the fact that your minute of angle adjustments become more limited but you also have to factory in the absolute adjustment to the trajectory that a small change in flight vector is going to have when an object is traveling that fast. For example with the SR-71 the closest it ever came to being shot down was a situation where had the pilot not adjusted course at all it would have been shot down however just by throttling up slightly, increasing the pitch by a few degrees, and making a slight turn of just a few degrees was enough to make that missile miss by something like 10 miles. That was only at mach 3. So at higher speeds of mach 6+ even a change of 2-3 degrees in the flight path might result in change of dozens of miles by the time it reaches the point of intercept.

@robertwallace713

2 ай бұрын

What it means for a hypersonic maneuver to "fly around" air defense doesn't necessarily mean actually going around it. To intercept a missile you calculate a point in time and space that your counter-missile can get to at the same time as the target missile, then you launch a counter-missile toward that point and wait for them to come together. Your terminal guidance is on the counter-missile, i.e. radar or electro-optical sensor (camera of some spectrum/s), and it is looking for the target missile to be in front of it since they are supposed to be going to that same point in time and space. But the maneuverable hyper-sonic is going so fast that you have to plan VERY far in advance to meet it on its path. Because you have to launch your counter-missile so far ahead of the hypersonic, even a small shift in direction of the hypersonic makes for a very large deviation in eventual position from where your counter-missile is targeting toward, and the counter-missile now has no target for it's sensors. Even if your counter-missile has a data-link back to the main targeting radar that can update where the counter-missile should be going towards, you only have so much fuel/potential energy to change course with before it just falls out of the sky without hitting the target, and you must launch another counter-missile at the hypersonic. Because a maneuverable hypersonic can make repeated maneuvers it can always just re-maneuver to fly effectively a straight line, weaving back and forth, but the counter missile launcher can only see what the hypersonic is doing instantaneously, with no knowledge of its final target, so you have to fire at where it looks like it is going to be according to it's current instantaneous vector of travel in case the missile is programmed to actually do a permanent dog-leg at that point in time and head off towards another place as a feint. So the incoming hypersonic could theoretically fly right overhead of the air-defences but still have dodged everything that can be thrown at it, not even going around it. Because of this you basically have 3 options: 1) make your counter-missile super fast so you don't have to fire as far ahead of the incoming missile and reduce the effectiveness of the maneuvers. 2) Know exactly where the incoming missile WANTS to be (its intended target), so you launch into the path that it is guaranteed to take (This also applies to terminal/short range counter-missiles since now the incoming missile can only maneuver so much in the last few seconds of flight, but it gives you no follow-up chance.) 3) Launch counter missiles at EVERY SINGLE POINT that the incoming missile COULD be at when your counter-missile can theoretically get there as well (expensive and logistically impossible.)

@Vexas345

2 ай бұрын

That is the challenge. But even a little maneuverability is helpful if you know where the radars are looking. Since modern engagement radars are generally facing the direction where targets are expected to come from, they are vulnerable unexpected attack angles. It depends on the design, but many PESA/AESA have a field-of-view of 45⁰ (+/- 22.5⁰ off boresight), for example. Radars also have to correlate returns in order to track and target something. Something moving as fast as a hypersonic and making maneuvers makes that a lot more difficult since the tracking algorithms aren't designed for it, and there's a tradeoff between effectively tracking things at that speed vs the speed of cruise missile. It's very easy to see 1 target traveling in azimuth as 2 targets, and it takes longer to achieve a lock, which is a problem when you don't have very long to react. Regular ballistic missiles are nice because they have a relatively predictable arc. BMD takes up a lot of radar resources, so ideally, you'd limit the regions where you have to.

​@@Vexas345 But the thing is, the SPY series is designed to engage hypersonic targets. So is THAAD. So is Patriot, to a more limited extent. I can only assume that the Russian radar systems don't really have that capability, whatever they might claim, and they are assuming the US is lying like they are. Also, when you watch that animated Avangaard promotional video, the radar sites that it's dodging are set up like a Russian radar complex. The Ukrainian war has demonstrated how useless that really is. Even if we take Russia at its word about what Avangaard is capable of, it has only been tested against their own systems, which are inferior in capability and not set up at all like the US sets up its air defense systems. As was pointed out, the US sets up multiple missile and radar types around must defend targets and goes for the hard stop versus the Russian layered attritional defense. And even if I'm wrong about all that, if Avangaard is flying, then ALL the nukes are flying and neither side has the magazine or launcher depth to prevent the complete destruction of their own country. So, from that perspective, Avangaard is not only useless, it's counterproductive because it is absolutely going to motivate the US to develop that launcher and magazine depth.

Are hypersonics worth the hype? I mean it's greatests strength (speed) is it's greatest weakness (also speed).

At Mach 10 that would be a 64 mile turn radius for a 5 second turn and an 128 mile radius for a 10 second turn. And if it turning to evade missile defense networks, then why would anyone believe that sensitive targets like Carrier Strike Groups wouldn't be under one of the planet's most sofisticated air defense network?

Too big and too lacking in flexibility. An AGM-158 is 14ft and ~2,500lbs. An AGM-183 ARRW is 22ft and 6,600lbs. You can't tandemize the weapon on the HSAB. You probably cannot put it on the CSRL in the weapons bay (too fat). The HGV is too small to be a heavy structural demolition weapon, even accounting for the hypersonic impact energy. It is not too small for a nuclear warheaad. It is a good reaction strike weapon only until you consider the realities of having to be airborne, within 869nm of the target. If you are not in a stealth, that puts a lot of stress on accompanying escorts needed to protect the launch asset from the likes of the MiG-31/R-37M and J-16/PL-17 or even the J-20/PL-15. You cannot change targeting during flyout (too fast, ionization sheath) and, at likely 6-10 million dollars each, your warstock is going to be very low. JASSM-XR will have similar range, similar or better penetration vs. S-400/40N6 and the ability to overtarget and shift to alternate aimpoints while supplying BIA confirmation, via satlink. You can even put it into forward loiter mode and strike, sequentially, multiple targets, 'as they develop'. Meaning as the TEL comes out of the forested hide and the launcher arm comes up. It _can_ be carried, in multiple, by the heavy stores adaptor beam as well as internally on all bombers. The only real justification for this missile, certainly in it's air launch variant, is for nuclear strikes at distances or threat incrementation beyond the survivability of the F-35/B61-12 in laydown penetration. Again, such as might be used to suppress nuclear Iskander. It is, functionally, a repeat of AGM-48 Skybolt, with an HGV strapped on the front end as a mini-MARV. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8e/Xagm-48a.jpg If you have put yourself into that kind of a brinksmanship condition, on Russia's doorstep, you have really screwed up, somewhere in the preceding strategic diplomacy chain.

Long range hypersonic missile development is a waste. Variable speed is far more disruptive to the interception probability than the slight midflight course adjustments their fans call 'maneuvering'. So, a double stage cruise missile with a high subsonic stage for the initial several 100kms to randomly actually maneuver in and a hypersonic burst final stage for the final 200km would make more sense.

They should skip hypersonic missiles and go straight to supersonic missiles.

If the *announced* decision to cancel ARRW has been a way to fake-out our global adversaries, then it was a wise decision indeed. I hope the program’s supposed final test is a success and leads to production of a vital defense system that our country really needs to stay ahead of current and future threats.

Sad that global tensions are getting to this point again.

Yep....The AGM-183 was ultimately scuttled.....but having gathered tons of data on Russian "Military doctrine" since the start of the invasion, US military planner now view it in a different light. This project is nearly turn-key ready...just repair the minor issues and it can be deployed fairly quickly. Considering that Russia has deep system-wide incompetence which compromise readiness right down a single bullet or mortar round, the US feels it can confidently deploy the '183 effectively.

I hope that Iran and North Korea watch this segment...

Why talk about ammunition and then show videos of not said ammunition? I like the info not the video, thumbs down.

Hmmm … maybe the project went black when it was “cancelled” 🤔

ARRW + Rapid Dragon + C-17

it's funny how you vehemently deny Russia possession of hypersonic missiles obviously ignoring the zircon and Kinzel hypersonic missile yet still using Russian hypersonic missile videos in your video. Cammon no hate mate but you make it look like no other country has hypersonic missile except USA while we know for sure among the three countries China, Russia and USA its only USA doesn't have hypersonic missile yet.
