Rocket Sled Traveling At 7,200 km/h (4,363 mph) Successfully Stopped During Hypersonic Test At Holloman

The test marked the fastest recovery of a monorail sled in over 30 years, and the first time a planned reusable sled was ever recovered at those speeds.

As a minimum, lol.

"If the hypersonic weapon is not ready for integration on the DDG 1000 at the time of the aforementioned maintenance period, the Navy may have to extend the duration of the planned maintenance period or wait for the next scheduled period to incorporate the system on the ship.”

How NGAD Will Sense, Communicate, And Jam Could Be Revolutionary

NGAD's potential use of multi-function arrays that combine radar, communications, and electronic warfare functions could be a game changer.
www.thedrive.com www.thedrive.com

With the newer aircraft being developed (like the B-21, NGAD), the composite skin they use is also integrated with electronics to allow the aircraft's skin (e.g. wings, tail, etc) to transmit and receive. The skin of the aircraft can be used to detect enemy systems in the area, jam enemy systems, and talk to other aircraft.

The composite skin also has become extremely effective in diffusing incoming radar to the point where RAM isn't a necessary factor in the survival of the aircraft.

Uh if this 2 year period is not to install the tubes, what is it for?

2 years of scrubbing rust stains off the hull?

What a piece of shit.

Russian jets have protected air intakes so they can take off from littered runways

Interested commercial firms are being asked to make proposals that include “the end-to-end capability to rapidly launch within 24 hours of notice” as well as to match the orbital plane of the simulated threat satellite, “conduct rendezvous and proximity operations,” and “inspect and characterize a simulated threat on an operationally relevant timeline,” the solicitation adds.

24 hours to launch: Space Force, DIU kick off new 'Tactically Responsive Space' mission - Breaking Defense

The program, called Victus Haze, builds on the on-going Space Systems Command Victus Nox mission to rapidly launch a prototype satellite for keeping tabs on objects in low Earth orbit.
