Hypersonic arms race
Samples hypersonic weapon systems, which reached Mach 8.6 speed, should appear before the end of 2020. This was recently announced the general director of the corporation "Tactical Missiles" Boris Obnosov.
- This new exorbitant rate. Hyper- begins with Mach 4.5. One Max - is 300 m / s, or 1000 km / h. Create such weapons systems, which are gaining speed in the atmosphere in excess of Mach 4.5 - a huge scientific and technical challenge. Especially, we are talking about fairly long flight in the atmosphere. On ballistic missiles that briefly reached hypersonic speeds - said Obnosov, adding that piloted hypersonic flight - an issue that will be decided between 2030 and 2040.
And here the question immediately arises in the field of high-speed race non-nuclear weapons. So, on November 21 in the appendix to "Nezavisimaya Gazeta" - "NVO" - published an article "New high-speed race of armaments" co-director of the Program on Nuclear Policy and a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace James Acton. The expert believes that in recent years there are clear signs of the maturing of a new arms race high-speed long-range, which can be very dangerous. In August, the US and China with an interval of 18 days experienced a missile weapon scheduling. As for Russia, the military and political leadership also repeatedly made statements about the development of a hypersonic weapon.
- The most serious threat - the use of rocket-gliding nonnuclear weapons in the conflict. It is fraught with the risk of a new escalation until it escalating into a nuclear - writes Acton.
Note that the work on the creation of hypersonic cruise missiles, aircraft and guided warheads in the world being a very long time, but have not yet emerged from the discharge experimental development. Russian anti-aircraft missiles S-300 and S-400 flying at hypersonic, but not for long, as well as warheads ICBMs (intercontinental ballistic missiles) at the time of entry into the atmosphere.
The United States is working on several promising "hypersonic" projects: planning bomb AHW (Advanced Hypersonic Weapon) (development is conducted under the auspices of the US Army), unmanned hypersonic Falcon HTV-2 (since 2003 developed by the Agency of the Ministry of Defense for Defense Advanced Research -research developments (DARPA)) and X-43 (built under the program NASA «Hyper-X»), winged hypersonic missile Boeing X-51 (developed by a consortium, which includes the US Air Force, Boeing, DARPA, and others.) and a number of other programs .
The most promising of them - missile Boeing X-51 (stating that it entered service in 2017). Thus, in May 2013, it was launched from the aircraft B-52 at an altitude of 15,200 meters and then use the accelerator rose to a height of 18,200 meters. During the flight, which lasted for six minutes, the missile X-51A has a top speed of Mach 5.1 and a flying distance of 426 kilometers, self-destructed.
Active in the "hypersonic" field, and China. In addition to long unsuccessful tests hypersonic gliding apparatus WU-14 (apparently, partly copied from an experimental hypersonic unmanned aerial vehicle X-43), the Celestial Empire is developing a hypersonic cruise missile jet.
As for Russia, in August 2011, Boris Obnosov reported that his concern starts to develop missiles capable of speeds up to Mach 12-13. There is reason to believe that it was a question of anti-ship missile, which is "lit up" in the press called "Zircon". However, given the successful testing of the American X-51A, a leading developer in the future have to submit more than one complex, and a whole range of hypersonic shock systems.
Especially in the Soviet Union was made a good start. So, at the end of the 50s in the Tupolev Design Bureau were working on the creation of a hypersonic aircraft carrier rocket launched - Tu-130. He was supposed to be flying at a speed of Mach 8.10 at a distance of four thousand miles. But in 1960 all works, despite the obvious successes have been discontinued. Interestingly, the American HGB - American prototype hypersonic system AHW, looks very similar to the Soviet Tu-130. As regards domestic developments in the field of hypersonic missiles, the Soviet Union, they were active, since the 1970s, but in 1990 almost disappeared. In particular, "the NGO engineering" to develop missiles "meteorite" and later start of work on the machine with the code "4202"; "Raduga" in the 1980s and the beginning of the project X-90 / Gael; in 1970 on the basis of the missile of the S-200 missile was created "cold."
Military expert Viktor Myasnikov notes: hypersonic missile needed for immediate proactive and preemptive strike to the opponent failed to respond to the attack.
- The missile, flying at a speed of Mach 10-15, will be able to reach any point of the planet in a few tens of minutes, and really commit to intercept and nobody has time. In this case, you can do without the "nuclear stuffing" as missiles with conventional explosives and so guaranteed withdraw from the system of communication and control units of the enemy. Therefore vbuhivayut Americans in their projects AHW, Falcon HTV-2 and X-51A lot of money in a hurry to finish them as soon as possible to control the whole world, and dictate his will.
But at the moment we can talk about technology race, but not about the race hypersonic weapons because such weapons do not exist. To see it, the leading powers will have to solve a lot of problems, in particular how to "teach" a rocket or machine to fly in an atmosphere where there is yet insurmountable factors - environmental resistance and heating. Yes, today missiles that have already put into service, reach speeds of Mach 3.5, but - within a reasonable distance. And this is not the hyper- that mean when we speak of a hypersonic weapon.
In principle, Technological development of high-speed weapons in all countries is the same, because the physics, as we know, does not depend on geography and social order. The key point here is, who will overcome the technological and scientific complexity, who will create new resistant materials, high-energy fuel, etc., that is, much depends on the talent and originality of ideas developers.
So, the question is this system, since the creation of such weapons need to develop scientific, technical and technological sector, which is quite expensive. And the longer this process will go, the more expensive it will be to manage the budget. And in our SRI used to work slowly: there are topics that scientists are ready to develop over the years, while the Army and industry require quick decisions. Abroad in this respect, all progressed much faster because there - competition: who quickly managed to patent development, he also made a profit. We have the same question of profit is not the key, because of budget money and so will allocate ...
Will Russia create a hypersonic weapon with our known issues in the "defense" after 90s - the big question. In the USSR, the development of hypersonic missiles was carried out, but after the collapse of the Union of the further development of such weapons was held at the level of development of individual systems.
We have been living in the conditions of use of combat units hypersonic intercontinental ballistic missiles: their nuclear units at the passive phase go at the speed of Mach 8.7, said the chief editor of the "Arsenal of the Fatherland", a member of the Expert Council Chairman of the Military-Industrial Commission under the Government of the Russian Federation Viktor Murakhovski .
- So, the next decade, a fundamentally new we do not see. See only new technical solutions that will allow for hypersonic withdraw funds not related to ballistic missiles. And for the anti-missile systems, which in some countries have developed or prospectively, in fact, there is no difference, for the purpose that goes on hypersonic - warhead or aircraft.
"SP": - S-400 "Triumph" is capable of operating at hypersonic targets ...
- And even S-300VM "Antey-2500", however, for short- and medium-range missiles. And the S-400 and S-500 are generally considered the means of TMD (theater - JV "), as well as the American system of Aegis.
United States, of course, the topic of hypersonic weapons are concerned not in the sense of improvement of nuclear weapons - they are not going too seriously to develop its strategic forces, but in terms of the concept of rapid global strike. And here apply ICBM nonnuclear unprofitable, as the enemy missile still equate to nuclear missiles, so States and rely on the aerodynamic system.
Prototypes have the tests go, but I would not venture to say that a hypersonic cruise missile or a hypersonic aircraft in service will major powers in 5-10 years. So, talk about the electrochemical and electromagnetic guns go for about 15 years, but so far - all the way.
As for the high-speed race weapons, but, in my opinion, it's not that started it - did not stop. Yes, the United States and Russia signed the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (from 500 to 5500 km - "JV"), but I do not think hypersonic missiles and aerodynamic devices will be equipped with nuclear warheads, because the technology is perfected IDB for decades, and it shows high reliability in control launches.
