Tactical High-speed Offensive Ramjet for Extended Range (THOR-ER)
Abstract
In FY 2021, THOR-ER transitioned from PE 0603699D8Z Emerging Capabilities Technology Development. The THOR-ER project will develop and demonstrate a full-scale missile prototype incorporating advanced solid fuel ramjet technologies, culminating in a series of operationally relevant flight demonstrations. THOR-ER enables leap-ahead gains in missile range and cruise speed while maintaining form factors similar to currently-fielded solid-rocket motor systems. Technology developed as part of the THOR-ER project will enhance the affordability and survivability of next generation weapon systems. THOR-ER is a co-development effort partnering with the U.S. Navy Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division China Lake; the Norwegian Defence Research Establishment; and, the Norwegian industrial base partner, Nammo.
