US adapts hypersonic weapons to mobile launchers<\/h2>\n

The US Army has made an important step in the development of hypersonic weapons. The company Castelion<\/strong> received a contract for the integration of its rocket Blackbeard<\/strong> with mobile launchers, in particular the HIMARS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Missiles of this class are capable of reaching speeds in excess of five strokes<\/strong> (more than five times faster than sound) and are designed to Overcoming modern air defence systems<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

According to Reuters<\/a>, The programme is aimed at creating a mobile complex capable of delivering precision strikes from anywhere in the world.<\/p>\n

Scale of production<\/h2>\n

    The contract provides for adaptation of Blackbeard to existing mobile platforms<\/strong>, This will increase flexibility and speed of deployment.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Company. Castelion<\/strong> declares its intention to start mass production of thousands of missiles per year<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    The main goal is to reduce the cost of one missile to tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars<\/strong>, This will make the system much cheaper than the current hypersonic models, which cost millions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \n

    Geopolitical context<\/h2>\n

    The development of hypersonic weapons has become part of the global technology race between the US, Russia and China<\/strong>.
    Integration with mobile platforms such as HIMARS will allow the US to to move missiles quickly<\/strong> and deploy them closer to areas of potential conflict.<\/p>\n

    Experts note that this could be a \u00abturning point\u00bb in the development of NATO's offensive weapons, providing a rapid response without the need for large bases.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
