Visions of bright future

(Picture I) http://crisisofdemocracticstates.blogspot.com/p/next-generation-of-military-submarines.html Kimmo Huosionmaa The next generation of missile submarines have extremely high precision strike capacity, and those submarines can be equipped with hypersonic cruise missiles. Here I'm writing about both sides the United States Navy's and the Russian Navy's new equipment, what is developing on both sides of the new cold war. And also China would be interested in those systems, what have many capabilities to destroy enemy's sea or land targets with surgical strikes. Those weapons are fully automatized, and they can operate without the crew years at the sea, without coming to the base, and they are the most dangerous military systems, what have ever developed. In these scenarios, the ballistic missiles like Trident D-5 or SS-N-20 "Seahawk" would be equipped with the aerodynamic warheads or scramjet engined cruise missiles, what can fly straight to...

(Picture 1) Kimmo Huosionmaa Hypersonic missile or cruise missile (HCM) is the new type of weapon, what uses technology that allows the weapon glide to the ground with the extremely high speed with gentle incoming trajectory. This would give the very big challenge for the defense, what must react this threat only in a couple of seconds. The launching of those extremely fast weapons may be done by submarines, surface warships or by aircraft. This weapon is the new type of solution for first strike missions. Hypersonic cruise missiles are developed in many nations. The limitations of this kind of weapon are very difficult because they don't need warheads. And the kinetic energy what is boosted with microwaves is the devastating combination for aircraft carriers. The microwave-transmitter can installed to the nose of those missiles, and it can be got the necessary electric power from windmill turbogenerators. The extremely high speed would give very powerful microwaves....

Boeing X-51 Waverider  is typical HCM (Hypersonic Cruise Missile) candidate (Picture 1) Kimmo Huosionmaa Hypersonic missiles are the fastest man-made cruise missiles in the world. The function of those weapons is normally, that ballistic missile would take those weapons to the ballistic trajectory, what allows enough speed, that the hypersonic ramjets would be launched, and those motors would give this missile the speed of Mach 12. But there are many problems with those missiles and USAF X-51 "Waverider" failed, and it couldn't start it hydrogen scramjet-motors in 2012. The hypersonic cruise missiles are new kind of weapon, what is extremely dangerous even without the nuclear warhead. The kinetic energy of those missiles is extremely high, and if that thing hits any target, would the result be devastating. Also, the defense against those weapons is extremely difficult because the angle of incoming missiles is so variable. The nuclear warhead is of course ve...
