A Chinese science institute recently announced the development of a scramjet engine that ran continuously for 600 seconds in a ground test which could lead up to the development of a hypersonic cruise missile. China Central Television (CCTV) reported over the weekend that the success was achieved by a team led by Fan Xuejun at the Institute of Mechanics under the Chinese Academy of Sciences
Rosoboronexport has unveiled a new 59N6-TE mobile three-dimensional radar capable of detecting hypersonic targets. The radar has been developed by “Nizhniy Novgorod Research Institute of Radio Engineering” (NNIIRT)
A conceptual study to develop a flying Hypersonic Test Bed (HTB) to demonstrate SABRE technology has been launched, that revolutionise horizontally launched reusable space vehicles. The study was initiated through the UK Space Agency and will be conducted under the European Space Agency General Support Technology Programme (GSTP)
Russia has tested a new hypersonic missile designed to arm its modified Tu-22M3M strategic bomber aircraft. "Recently, a new hypersonic missile was tested on the Tu-22M3
The Pentagon on Monday announced a joint US-Norwegian effort to produce solid fuel ramjet propulsion systems for the Navy's hypersonic missiles. The Tactical High-speed Offensive Ramjet for Extended Range (THOR-ER) project aims to cooperatively develop and integrate advancements in solid fuel ramjet technologies into full-size prototypes that are affordable, attain high-speeds, and achieve extended range, culminating in flight demonstrations in operationally relevant conditions, Pentagon said in a release
Test firing of the Russian R-37M hypersonic air-to-air missile (also known as RVV-BD) from the Su-35 fighter jets are planned for end-2020 while flight tests to confirm compatibility with the Su-35 have already commenced. The R-37M is intended to be the main long-range air-to-air weapon for current and future Su and MiG type Russian fighter jets well into the next decade
Russia is set to soon deploy a new, long-range radar to monitor launches of cruise and hypersonic missiles over entire Europe. The Konteiner over-the-horizon radar is expected to be deployed in Kaliningrad region in west Russia
