He introduced future hypersonic rockets as a future for a deep blow, but also noted that such developments may also be approached in the case of destruction of armored vehicles in a small radius. The company considers the ability to create a hypersonic anti -tank missile that will operate through the active protection systems. This was refused to say if there was already a technology demonstrator, but added that the speed can reach at least 5 strokes (about 6125 km/h).
Also, MBDA Germany does not rule out that they will cooperate with Ramjet to reach even a speed of up to 6-7 strokes (7350-8400 km/h). "The next step will be the test of the engine and the head of self -introduction, capable of withstanding [hypersonic] environmental conditions. At this speed, maneuverability is quite complicated," the spokesman explained. To do this, plan to make rocket fuel with ammonium dinitramy. It should be prepared in 2 years by Bayern Chemie.
It is unknown whether other MBDA units will be connected in France, Germany, Italy, Spain or the United Kingdom. Usually there are some restrictions between them. In addition, Dirk was stated that he did not consider the Russian missile X-47M2 "dagger" a real hypersonic rocket because of the limited maneuver. However, he calls the Avangard and Chinese Dongfeng-17 a true hypersonic development.
