These missiles travel faster than the speed of sound, usually using ramjet engines. The range is typically 100–500 km, but can be greater. Guidance systems vary. Examples: ASALM US ALCM prototype, test-flown to hypersonic Mach 5.5; 3M-54 Kalibr (4,500 km, Mach 3) (the "Sizzler" variant is capable of supersonic speed at the terminal stage only)
SMART is a canisterised hybrid system, made up of a long-range missile carrier that can travel at supersonic speed and a lightweight torpedo as payload, for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) role. The objective behind the project was to develop a quick-reaction system that can launch torpedoes from standoff distance. [3]
Maximum speed : Supersonic, in excess of Mach 3 (0.6 mi/s; 1.0 km/s) [6] Guidance ... The missile can be fired from the tracked M270 Multiple Launch Rocket System ...
Navaho missile on launch pad. The North American SM-64 Navaho was a supersonic intercontinental cruise missile project built by North American Aviation (NAA). The final design was capable of delivering a nuclear weapon to the USSR from bases within the US, while cruising at Mach 3 (3,700 km/h; 2,300 mph) at 60,000 feet (18,000 m) altitude.
Manned by Boom Supersonic's chief test pilot Tristan "Geppetto" Brandenburg, the XB-1 launched in the early hours of Tuesday, reaching an altitude of 35,290 feet and accelerating to speed Mach 1. ...
Supersonic speed doesn’t begin at a fixed point, as temperature, humidity and air pressure all affect how fast an aircraft must go to qualify. According to Boom, a jet must reach around 770 mph ...
The BrahMos (also designated as PJ-10) [14] is a medium-range ramjet supersonic cruise missile that can be launched from submarines, ships, fighter aircraft or TEL. [15] It is a joint venture between the Indian Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Russian Federation's NPO Mashinostroyeniya, who together have formed BrahMos Aerospace. [16]
