  • Space Weapons
CONT

The Common Aero Vehicle is a maneuvering reentry vehicle capable of carrying a payload(primarily munitions) down from a suborbital or orbital atmospheric reentry and either impacting a target directly or dispensing munitions at a chosen dispense location and condition. CAV has a relatively high hypersonic lift to drag ratio(L/D) to give good cross-range. CAV cross-range is roughly 1000 times the hypersonic L/D and typical CAV hypersonic L/Ds of 2. 0-3. 0 thus give 2000-3000 nautical miles of cross-range. CAV needs to be deployed at very high velocities to be effective and Mach numbers less than 20 for suborbital deliveries produce relatively short ranges and cross-ranges.

PHR

Enhance common aero vehicle.

CONT

La Darpa vient de lancer un appel à propositions pour réaliser un drone (sans pilote) spatial hypersonique ou Hypersonic Cruise Vehicle. L'objectif serait d'obtenir, vers 2025, un engin capable de décoller d'une piste conventionnelle, sur préavis court, et de frapper n'importe où dans le monde un objectif ponctuel, sans dégâts collatéraux. Il serait propulsé par un statoréacteur, aurait un rayon d'action de 17.000 kms, une vitesse de Mach 5 à 7. Il pourrait emporter une charge de 5,5 t. Cette dernière pourrait être constituée de bombes intelligentes ou d'un CAV (Common Aéro Vehicule), sorte de planeur hypersonique capable de rentrée dans atmosphère pour frapper un objectif distant de 5.000 kms. On disposerait ainsi d'une configuration de type marsupial (une mère portant un enfant).

Systems Analysis of a Future Semi-Reusable Launcher, Based on a High Thrust Bleed Cycle Rocket Engine. In this paper a high thrust, cryogenic bleed cycle engine, to be used for propulsion of future reusable booster stages(liquid fly back boosters), of an expendable heavy lift launcher, is analyzed. The system configuration remains unchanged, in terms of total available fuel and the number of engines, hereas the variation of the engine parameters result in a change of total system mass and payload capacity. Different arrangements of bleed cycles are being analyzed, and compared with each other. The paper describes a simplified heat transfer model, used in the analysis of the suggested cycles. The thrust chamber design is discussed and a preliminary design of the booster vehicle, including a trajectory analysis, is presented.

  • Missiles and Rockets
CONT

In applying the principles of electrostrictive hydrodynamics(electrohydrodynamics) it is immediately clear to the aeronautical engineer that a large electrode area is required. Just as a sailboat uses a sail, any vehicle utilizing electrohydrodynamic propulsion must employ a large ballistic electrode to integrate the pressure of plasma "winds" to provide lift or forward thrust. These so-called "electric winds" are ion flows, moving at relatively high velocity. The flows may take various patterns determined by 1) The manner in which the flows are generated, and 2) The curvature of the surfaces which confine them.

Micro Craft's "Small" Lift Augmented Ducted Fan Air Vehicle(SLADF) has many advantages as a small UAV. The vehicle system can be designed to suit a number of performance requirements and is highly scaleable. The shroud(duct) provides unparalleled ground crew safety when contrasted to conventional open rotor designs. The small size of the SLADF permits operation aboard ships, on the ground, in urban areas, or in forested or other confined areas typical of tactical situations while enhancing survivability during flight. With a small footprint for both flight operations and stowage, valuable launch space is also optimized.

The speed and altitude regimes of these vehicles are bounded by physical and practical limits.
