Friday, November 18, 2011 Pentagon successfully tests hypersonic flying bomb -- can hit anywhere on Earth within an hour The Pentagon on Thursday held a successful test flight of a flying bomb that travels faster than the speed of sound and will give military planners the ability to strike targets anywhere in the world in less than a hour. Launched by rocket from Hawaii at 1130 GMT, the "Advanced Hypersonic Weapon," or AHW, glided through the upper atmosphere over the Pacific "at hypersonic speed" before hitting its target on the Kwajalein atoll in the Marshall Islands, a Pentagon statement said. Kwajalein is about 2,500 miles (4,000 kilometers) southwest of Hawaii. The Pentagon did not say what top speeds were reached by the vehicle, which unlike a ballistic missile is maneuverable. Scientists classify hypersonic speeds as those that exceed Mach 5 -- or five times the speed of sound -- 3,728 miles (6,000 kilometers) an hour. The test aimed to gather data on "aerodynamics, navigation, guidance and control, and thermal protection technologies," said Lieutenant Colonel Melinda Morgan, a Pentagon spokeswoman. more Launched by rocket from Hawaii at 1130 GMT, the "Advanced Hypersonic Weapon," or AHW, glided through the upper atmosphere over the Pacific "at hypersonic speed" before hitting its target on the Kwajalein atoll in the Marshall Islands, a Pentagon statement said.

Još jedna preskupa besmislica vojne mašinerije. Pentagon je u četvrtak uspješno testirao leteću bombu koja putuje puno brže od brzine zvuka, s ovim projektom vojnoj vrhuški SAD-a će biti moguće napasti bilo koju točku na planeti u manje od sat vremena. Raketa oružje lansirana je s Hawaja u četvrtak u 11:30 po GMT vremenu, ime ovog oružja je „Advanced Hypersonic Weapon“ ili AHV što znači napredno hiper-sonično oružje. Testna raketa je putovala gornjim dijelom atmosfere nad Pacifikom, meta joj je bio atol u otočju Marshall Island koji se nalaze oko 4.000 kilometara jugozapadno od Havaja. Znanstvenici su objavili kako ovo oružje dostiže brzinu veću od 5 maha ili 6.000 kilometara na sat. Američka vojska je AHW projekt napravila u sklopu „Prompt Global Strike“ programa s kojim Pentagon želi biti u stanju napasti neprijatelja na bilo kojem dijelu planete u manje od sat vremena. Pentagon je prije nekoliko mjeseci otkrio kako će napraviti najmanje još dva modela HTV oružja, to jest rakete koje će moći preletjeti više od 27.000 kilometara u sat vremena, što im ostaje projekt za budućnost za koji će izdvojiti milijune dolara. AHV ima manji domet od HTV-2 objavljeno je u izvješću SAD kongresa, bez da su se specifikacije izdal eu javnost. Za sada je poznato da je Pentagon uložio 239,9 milijuna dolara u Global Strike program ove godine, uključujući i 69 milijuna dolara u test AHV-a na Havajima.
