HIGH SPEED PROPULSION AND ADVANCED WEAPON TECHNOLOGIES
Abstract
Applied Research into a wide range of technologies that support high speed weapons work in this activity is focused on demonstrating propulsion and vehicle technologies for Mach 3 to Mach 8 or beyond capable weapons. This work includes technologies associated with high-acceleration projectile structures, high temperature and high strength materials to enable projectiles to survive high-speed launch environment, improved thermal prediction methodologies and test techniques, wide dynamic pressure adaptable projectile controls and non-explosively launched lethal mechanisms. The high speed projectile technologies are intended to support long range Naval Surface Fire Support weapons.
