Gambit
Abstract
The Gambit program will develop and demonstrate a Rotating Detonation Engine (RDE) propulsion system that enables standoff strike of time-critical targets from 4th generation fighters at campaign scale. Gambit will initially conduct a conceptual design of an Operational System (OS) that meets the mission objectives and a Demonstration System (DS) RDE propulsion system that meets requirements derived from the performer's OS. To substantiate the preliminary DS design, Gambit will execute RDE combustor testing and inlet testing. Next, Gambit will complete detailed design, fabrication, and ground testing of a full-scale, weapon-traceable DS at flight conditions. Successful completion of Gambit will pave a path to a flight test of a prototype weapon in a future program.
