ArcLight

Abstract

The goal of the ArcLight program is to design and evaluate in simulation a tactical, long range, time critical, boost/glide vehicle capable of carrying a payload of 100-200 lbs over 2,000 nm in less than 30 minutes. The boost/glide vehicle would be launched from a Mark 41 vertical launch system (VLS) capable booster stack. The development of the ArcLight vehicle could enable tactical, long range strike weapons capable of engaging time critical targets. Transition partners include the Navy and Air Force.
