The United States Air Force began developing the Tri-Service Standoff Attack Missile (TSSAM) in 1986; [2] the intent was to produce a family of stealthy missiles for the U.S. Air Force, Navy and United States Army which would be capable of long range, autonomous guidance, automatic target recognition, and sufficient accuracy and warhead power to be capable of destroying well-protected ...
The GBU-39/B began separation tests on the F-22 Raptor in early September 2007, after more than a year of sometimes difficult work to integrate the weapon in the weapons bay and carry out airborne captive carry tests. The SDB is integrated on the F-15E Strike Eagle, Panavia Tornado, JAS-39 Gripen, F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-22 Raptor and AC-130W.
The Stand-in Attack Weapon (SiAW) is a tactical air-to-surface missile under development for the United States Air Force (USAF) by Northrop Grumman. It is primarily designed to attack air-defences and high-value targets such as command-and-control sites, surface-to-surface missile launchers, anti-satellite systems, and GPS jamming systems. [1]
The TAI Kaan also called TF ("Turkish Fighter", formerly known as TF-X [6]) and MMU (Milli Muharip Uçak, Turkish for 'National Combat Aircraft' [7]), is a stealth, twin-engine, [8] all-weather air superiority fighter [9] in development by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI) and sub-contractor BAE Systems.
Typical stand-off weapons include cruise missiles, glide bombs and short-range ballistic missiles. Standoff missiles belong to the larger class of ranged weapons and are complimented by the Stand-in Attack Weapon (SiAW), a missile with a shorter range that is fired by an aircraft after penetrating enemy airspace.
The missile itself weighs 22 lb (10.1 kg), while the missile with its launch tube and integral sight, fitted with a gripstock and identification friend or foe (IFF) antenna, weighs approximately 34 lb (15.2 kg). It has a targeting range of up to 15,700 feet (4,800 m) and can engage low-altitude enemy threats at up to 12,500 feet (3,800 m).
The Hellfire missile is the primary 100-pound (45 kg) class air-to-ground precision weapon for the armed forces of the United States and many other countries. It has also been fielded on surface platforms in the surface-to-surface and surface-to-air roles.
The Silbervogel was the first design for a hypersonic weapon and was developed by German scientists in the 1930s, but was never constructed. [6]The ASALM (Advanced Strategic Air-Launched Missile) was a medium-range strategic missile program developed in the late 1970s for the United States Air Force; the missile's development reached the stage of propulsion-system testing, test-flown to Mach 5 ...
