Washington mourn
The United States Navy announced Thursday that it has successfully tested hydraulic missile technology.
Wednesday’s test at the NASA Institute in Valops, Virginia, is a “significant step in the development of a common naval-designed hydraulic missile,” the Navy said in a statement.
“This experiment demonstrates advanced hydraulic technologies, capabilities, and prototyping systems in a realistic environment,” he said.
Hypersonic missiles, like traditional ballistic missiles, can fly at more than five times the speed of sound (Mach 5).
But they are more mobile than their ballistic counterparts and can follow the lower direction of the atmosphere, which makes them harder to defend.
Earlier this week, US Ambassador to the United States Robert Wood expressed concern over the alleged disarmament of a nuclear-capable nuclear missile at a disarmament conference.
According to the Financial Times, China fired a high-altitude missile that completed its orbit before landing and missed its target.
“We are very concerned about what China is doing on the hyperbound,” said Wood, who will step down in Geneva seven weeks later.
China says the spacecraft is more common than a missile.
Expensive Russia also has high-tech technology and the United States has been reluctant to build up its military capabilities in this area, but now it has no choice but to respond.
“There is a target country and a target,” Elom said.
“And so we’re starting to see what other applications and defense applications can bring to HyperSonic technology – and that will continue to accelerate the arms race.”
China has unveiled a high-altitude missile DF-17 capable of carrying a 2,000-kilometer (1,200-mile) nuclear warhead.
The missile in FT history is another long range. It can be launched into orbit before returning to the atmosphere to hit the target.
Russia recently launched a hydraulic missile, a zircon, from the submarine. By the end of 2019, hydraulic nuclear-capable Avangard missiles had been launched. Avangard can change course and altitude until March 27th.
The Pentagon hopes to deploy its first hydraulic weapon by 2025 and said its growth is one of its “top priorities.”
