планы по созданию первой экспериментальной батареи гиперзвукового оружия Армии США
Тем временем Армия США поделилась своими планами по созданию первого подразделения (фактически -- экспериментальная ракетная артиллерийская (sic! согласно терминологии Армии США) батарея), оснащенного перспективным гиперзвуковым оружием. На основании нового подразделения вероятно будут формироваться т.н. "Strategic Fires Battalion(s) in support of Multi-Domain Operations" ("батальоны стратегического назначения", скажем так, "для поддержки мультидоменных (земля/воздух/море) операций").
Планы:
поставки в Армию США с 1-й половины 2021 г.
первые пуски экспериментальной ракетной батареи - 2022 г.
"IOC" - вероятно после 2022-2023 гг.
Компоненты системы:
- машина управления и связи (на шасси а/м FMTV 6х6 с генератором на одноосном прицепе); версия Block 1 пункта управления использует автоматизированную систему управления огнем (система данных полевой артиллерии) AFADTS, версия 7.0.
- пусковая установка - 2 ТПК с "изделиями"(в каждом ТПК - "разгонщик" (buster, ракетный ускоритель, фактически это ракета) + гиперзвуковой планирующий летательный аппарат C-HGB (Common Hypersonic Glide Body) в сборе) на транспортно-пусковой установке (модернизированный полуприцеп M870, базовая г/п 40 тонн), буксируемой колесным тягачем M983A4 HEMMT. Пуск из ТПК - вертикальный.
Ну что ж, в таком составе к 2021 году вполне успеют. Привет, "Авангард"😏
Однако, повторимся, батарея экспериментальная, и создается в первую очередь для отработки вариантов применения гиперзвуковых систем оружия.

“Lockheed Martin is driving rapid technical development for these national priority programs,” said Eric Scherff, vice president for Hypersonic Strike Programs for Lockheed Martin Space. “There are natural synergies with our industry teammates. We believe our relationships offer the Army unmatched expertise and puts us in the best position to deliver this critical capability to the nation. Lockheed Martin is proud to partner with the Army in integrating the common hypersonic glide body and the land-based hypersonic strike weapon system prototype. We are committed to combining the best of what our companies have to offer to deliver on this national priority program.”
Hypersonic strike weapons, capable of flying speeds in excess of Mach 5, are a key aspect of the long-range precision fire modernization effort for the Army and the national security strategy to compete with and outpace potential threats.
LRHW program work will be performed at Lockheed Martin’s Alabama, Colorado, California and Texas facilities.
The U.S. Army is aiming to get first long-range hypersonic weapon experimental prototype by the fiscal year 2023, according to a recently published article at Army AL&T magazine.
Army’s magazine has reported that the new land-based, truck-launched system should be armed with hypersonic missiles that can travel well over 3,800 miles per hour.

Также, 30 или 31 августа 2019 г. Армия США заключили с Dynetics Technical Solutions (DTS) контракт на US$ 351,6 млн. на изготовление гиперзвукового планирующего летательного аппарата C-HGB (Common-Hypersonic Glide Body) (компонент системы LRHW):
The U.S. Army awarded a contract to Dynetics Technical Solutions at an estimated value of $351.6 million to produce the first commercially manufactured set of Common-Hypersonic Glide Body (C-HGB) systems or also commonly known as hypersonic glide vehicle.
The C-HGB will be available across military services to provide commonality to air, land and sea platform needs and requirements.
Under an Other Transaction Agreement contract, over a three-year agreement period DTS will produce 20 glide body assemblies for use by the U.S. Army, U.S. Navy and the Missile Defense Agency, with an option for additional quantities. DTS will collaborate with Sandia National Laboratories for development and production of the glide body. The glide body will be a part of an integrated Army hypersonic weapon system prototype that will deliver residual combat capability to Soldiers by 2023.
“Dynetics Technical Solutions is pleased to partner with Lockheed Martin on this national defense priority. The Common-Hypersonic Glide Body and Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon programs will modernize our national capabilities and will counter the threat from our foreign adversaries. We are looking forward to the progress our teams will make as we deliver this combat capability to the warfighter,” said Steve Cook, DTS president.
The effort is part of U.S. Army’s number one modernization priority – long range precision fires — and administered by the Army Hypersonic Project Office, part of the Army Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO).
“We are honored to be selected for this high priority national security program. Dynetics has been developing enabling technologies for many years.

As a principal subcontractor on this program, Raytheon will use its extensive experience in advanced hypersonic technology to build and deliver the control, actuation and power-conditioning subassemblies that control flight of the new common hypersonic glide body. The company will also help assemble and test the new glide body.
“Raytheon is working closely with Dynetics and its industry partners to quickly field the hypersonic weapon and provide our nation’s military with the tools it needs to stay ahead of the escalating threat,” said Dr. Thomas Bussing, Raytheon Advanced Missile Systems vice president. “The development of hypersonic weapons is a priority for our country, and we are aggressively working to produce offensive and defensive solutions.”
Separately, DTS has been selected by Lockheed Martin to be a part of the Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon (LHRW) systems integration contract also led by the U.S. Army’s RCCTO. The LHRW program will introduce a new class of ultrafast, maneuverable, long-range missiles that can launch from ground platforms. The LRHW prototypeincludes the new C-HGB, an existing, refurbished trailer and truck to be modified as a new launcher, and an existing Army command and control system.
DTS will develop launchers with hydraulics, outriggers, power generation and distribution for the ground platform. The company will also provide flight test and training support.
DTS will now support both hypersonic efforts and collectively, these awards will total $407.6 million for the corporation.
