Book Synopsis US Hypersonic Research and Development by : Roy F. Houchin II
Download or read book US Hypersonic Research and Development written by Roy F. Houchin II and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential new account of some of the most valuable research and development in international military history. Roy F. Houchin II shows how the roots of US Air Force hypersonic research and development are grounded in Army Air Force General Henry H. 'Hap' Arnold's identification of the need for advanced airpower weapon systems to meet the anticipated postwar enemy threat. The technology for a smooth transition to military spaceflight seemed within reach when Bell Aircraft Corporation executive Walter Dornberger (the former commander of Nazi Germany's V-2 rocket research) made an unsolicited proposal to William E. Lamar (the chief of Wright Aeronautical Development Center's New Development Office of the Bomber Aircraft Division at Wright-Patterson AFB, OH) for a hypersonic boost-glide weapon system. Visionaries like Arnold, Dornberger, and Lamar believed a hypersonic boost-glider would represent the ultimate expression of the US Air Force's doctrine by performing strategic bombardment and reconnaissance more successfully any other type of vehicle. As this aspiration reached maturity in Dyna-Soar, the service's leadership never gave up their beliefs. This book shows how the struggle to persuade the secretary of defence and his advisors, who did not share the Air Force's vision for a military spaceplane, illustrates the ebb and flow of an advanced technology program and its powerful legacy within American society.

Book Synopsis An Exploratory Analysis of the Chinese Hypersonics Research Landscape by : Geoffrey Chambers
Download or read book An Exploratory Analysis of the Chinese Hypersonics Research Landscape written by Geoffrey Chambers and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "According to reports, China conducted tests of hypersonic glide vehicles in July and August 2021, which Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley described as "concerning." China's hypersonic weapons program has drawn significant global attention and research interests in recent years. DOD's Annual Report to Congress on Military and Security Developments Involving the People's Republic of China first mentioned hypersonic glide vehicles in 2015. The hypersonic glide vehicle-equipped DF-17 missile, unveiled at China's 2019 National Day Parade, further fueled speculation and interest about China's hypersonic research and development (R&D) program. Subsequent reporting indicates that units with these missiles have already been deployed. Other evidence suggests that China is engaged in a wide range of hypersonic weapons programs including wave-riders and cruise missiles. To date, open-source English-language analysis of the subject has focused heavily on the strategic drivers and disruptive impacts of the program. Other studies that looked at technical aspects focused on a small set of technologies. This report adopts a different approach, using a framework developed by Chinese scientists for prioritizing technologies for development, and then applying machine-learning-enabled analytics to analyze China's hypersonic research and development activities in those areas over time. It investigates the following research questions: Does the HV development framework proposed by Cai and Xu align with subsequent Chinese research activity? ; Who are the institutions, researchers, and international collaborators leading China's HV research programs? ; How has China's HV research activity evolved over time? By adopting this approach, the goal is not only to provide an assessment of the state of hypersonic R&D for the China-analysis community, but also for the broader U.S.-scientific research community who wishes to understand China's research approach and progress in this key technology area."--Introduction.
Book Synopsis Hypersonic Weapon by : Kelley M Seyler
Download or read book Hypersonic Weapon written by Kelley M Seyler and published by . This book was released on 2019-08-02 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States has actively pursued the development of hypersonic weapons- maneuvering weapons that fly at speeds of at least Mach 5-as a part of its conventional prompt global strike program since the early 2000s. In recent years, the United States has focused such efforts on developing hypersonic glide vehicles, which are launched from a rocket before gliding to a target, and hypersonic cruise missiles, which are powered by high-speed, air-breathing engines during flight. As current Commander of U.S. Strategic Command General John Hyten has stated, these weapons could enable "responsive, long-range, strike options against distant, defended, and/or time-critical threats [such as road-mobile missiles] when other forces are unavailable, denied access, or not preferred." Critics, on the other hand, contend that hypersonic weapons lack defined mission requirements, contribute little to U.S. military capability, and are unnecessary for deterrence. Funding for hypersonic weapons has been relatively restrained in the past; however, both the Pentagon and Congress have shown a growing interest in pursuing the development and near-term deployment of hypersonic systems. This is due, in part, to the growing interest in these technologies in Russia and China, both of which have a number of hypersonic weapons programs and are expected to field an operational hypersonic glide vehicle- potentially armed with nuclear warheads-as early as 2020. The United States, in contrast to Russia and China, is not currently considering or developing hypersonic weapons for use with a nuclear warhead. As a result, U.S. hypersonic weapons will likely require greater accuracy and will be more technically challenging to develop than nuclear-armed Chinese and Russian systems. The Pentagon's FY2020 budget request for all hypersonic-related research is $2.6 billion, including $157.4 million for hypersonic defense programs. At present, the Department of Defense (DOD) has not established any programs of record for hypersonic weapons, suggesting that it may not have approved either requirements for the systems or long-term funding plans. Indeed, as Assistant Director for Hypersonics (Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering) Mike White has stated, DOD has not yet made a decision to acquire hypersonic weapons and is instead developing prototypes to assist in the evaluation of potential weapon system concepts and mission sets.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past five years, Russia, China, and others have accelerated their development of hypersonic missiles to threaten U.S. forces in the homeland and abroad. The current Ballistic Missile Defense System, largely equipped to contend with legacy ballistic missile threats, must be adapted to this challenge. The same characteristics that make hypersonic missiles attractive may also hold the key to defeating them. This CSIS report argues how a new hypersonic defense architecture should exploit hypersonic weapons’ unique vulnerabilities and employ new capabilities, such as a space sensor layer, to secure critical nodes. These changes are not only necessary to mitigate the hypersonic threat but to defeat an emerging generation of maneuvering missiles and aerial threats.

Book Synopsis Hypersonic Weapons Development in China, Russia and the United States by : Larry M. Wortzel
Download or read book Hypersonic Weapons Development in China, Russia and the United States written by Larry M. Wortzel and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "According to the Financial Times of 16 October 2021, "China tested a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile in August that circled the globe before speeding towards its target, demonstrating an advanced space capability that caught US intelligence by surprise." The remarkable thing about the test is that the warhead was launched into orbit, orbited Earth and reentered the atmosphere, approaching its target at hypersonic speed. Such a weapon would be capable of carrying a nuclear warhead. The United States has established defenses against intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) in Alaska, but the method used to attack the target by the People's Republic of China (PRC) missile would be capable of evading fixed U.S. defenses by avoiding the expected polar ballistic trajectory that the U.S. defenses are designed to intercept. This test by China has direct influence on the Army because the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC) is responsible for detecting strategic attacks and protecting the U.S. homeland. SMDC defense systems are deployed to intercept ballistic missile warheads from only one direction, using a polar, or arctic, approach. Another SMDC mission is to enhance deterrence and detection of strategic attacks. The hypersonic threat is not only from China; Russia has successfully tested a naval hypersonic missile, the Zircon, and North Korea claims to have tested a hypersonic missile. Financial Times (FT) sources were surprised that China achieved the capability for such a weapon because the hypersonic glide vehicle carrying the warhead stayed in low-earth orbit, circling the globe before reentering the atmosphere to attack its target. Even though the warhead missed its target by a wide margin, China is far ahead of the United States in developing such capabilities; the United States has experienced a number of failures in developing hypersonic weapons. Why U.S. officials were so surprised by the test is a little bit of a mystery. China has been working on these missiles for decades, and the United States knew it. According to the Defense Intelligence Agency's 2019 China Military Power Report, the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) "is developing a range of technologies to counter U.S. and other countries' ballistic missile defense systems, including maneuverable reentry vehicles (MARVs), MIRVs [multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles], decoys, chaff, jamming, thermal shielding, and hypersonic glide vehicles" (emphasis added). If senior U.S. officials were surprised, it is because the intelligence community apparently underestimated China's capabilities in this area and failed to follow or appreciate years of mentions in Chinese research reports about work on hypersonic missiles in China, and perhaps underestimated the emphasis the PLA put on their development. Although the PRC warhead in the test missed its target by a wide margin of about two dozen miles, the FT article quotes U.S. experts and officials as saying that "China had made astounding progress on hypersonic weapons and was far more advanced than US officials realized." As noted previously, however, U.S. officials should not have been surprised by the development of hypersonic warheads in orbit by the Chinese People's Liberation Army Rocket Forces (PLARF). China has been conducting research on such hypersonic technology and weapons for some time. Put into practical defense and security terms, this involved putting warheads into low-earth orbit and having them seek targets on Earth. The strategy is not new. The Soviet Union experimented with this type of warhead in the early 1960s. The United States called it a "Fractional Orbital Bombardment System" during the Cold War period, but the U.S.S.R. eventually moved to other forms of deterrent systems designed to threaten the United States and China. Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara declared in November 1967 that the Russian Fractional Orbit Bombardment System tests did not violate the 1967 Outer Space Treaty. The PRC denied that any such test had been conducted. China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Zhao Lijian said the August test was "a spacecraft, not a missile," according to multiple media reports. U.S. officials do not believe Zhao's denial."--Introduction.
