Raytheon Successfully Tests New Air-Launched Missile Defense System
美空军开发空中导弹防御系统
美空军近与雷声公司成功进行了网络中心机载导弹防御系统拦截弹道导弹测试。本次拦截测试于12月3日在白沙导弹靶场进行，美空军国民警卫队一架F-16战斗机作为测试机发射一枚AIM-9X红外制导反导导弹成功搜索并拦截了一枚助推段弹道导弹。网络中心机载导弹防御系统为一种主要拦截助推段和加速段中短程弹道导弹的机载反导系统。系统内装备小型红外导引头的导弹将允许小型机甚至无人机在突破到敌导弹靶场100英里范围内执行反导任务。
TUCSON, Ariz., Dec. 4, 2007 /PRNewswire/ -- Raytheon Company (NYSE:
RTN) has successfully flight tested a key component of the Network Centric
Airborne Defense Element missile defense system with the intercept of a
test ballistic missile. The Dec. 3 test at White Sands Missile Range, N.M.,
demonstrated the NCADE infrared seeker's ability to acquire and track a
ballistic missile target in the boost phase.
NCADE is an air-launched weapon system designed to engage short- and
medium-range ballistic missiles in the boost and ascent phase of flight.
NCADE provides an interim or near-term solution to boost or ascent phase
threats.
"This test provides clear evidence that the NCADE seeker is a viable
solution against a boosting ballistic missile threat," said Mike Booen,
Raytheon Missile Systems vice president of Advanced Missile Defense. "NCADE
fills a critical niche in the Ballistic Missile Defense system and provides
a revolutionary, low-cost approach to interceptor development and
acquisition."
An Air National Guard F-16 test aircraft from the Air National
Guard-Air Force Reserve Command Test Center, Tucson, Ariz., launched the
AIM-9X airframe that carried the NCADE seeker.
The NCADE interceptor leverages many proven components and
technologies, including the aerodynamic design, aircraft interface and
flight control system of Raytheon's Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air
Missile. The commonality with AMRAAM enables NCADE to launch from a wide
variety of aircraft. NCADE's small size enables it to be carried by and
launched from smaller unmanned aerial vehicles, providing a potential
operational advantage.
NCADE also leverages proven imaging infrared seeker components from
existing Raytheon production programs. This enables a potentially rapid
development and fielding path.
Last year, Raytheon teammate Aerojet successfully tested the NCADE
second stage axial propulsion system, demonstrating the maturity of this
new propulsion system. Future testing will involve the missile's divert and
attitude control system.
F-16 Tests New Boost-Phase Interceptor: The Missile Defense Agency just successfully tested an AIM-9X missile modified with the Raytheon-developed Net-Centric Airborne Defense Element, firing it from an F-16 to intercept a boosting rocket used as a target boost-phase missile. According to an MDA release, the Dec. 3 test over the White Sands Missile Range included a second modified AIM-9X that observed the intercept through its NCADE seeker and "was also on a trajectory to intercept the target." Raytheon Missile Systems VP Mike Booen said in a company statement, "This test provides clear evidence that the NCADE seeker is a viable solution against a [short- and medium-range] boosting missile threat." MDA notes that fighters or unmanned aerial vehicles could carry an NCADE-equipped missile where the aircraft could "penetrate to within about 100 miles of the [missile] launch site."
