La carrera por el desarrollo de Armas Hipers\u00f3nicas que desde hace a\u00f1os llevan adelante EUA, China y Rusia, ha motivado tambi\u00e9n que esas potencias avancen en la b\u00fasqueda de soluciones tecnol\u00f3gicas, para la defensa efectiva contra estas disruptivas armas. La Missile Defense Agency (EUA) lleva adelante un programa denominado Glide Phase Interceptor (GPI), cuyo objetivo espec\u00edfico es la defensa contra armas hipers\u00f3nicas de tipo HGV (Hipersonic Glide Vehice<\/em>). HGV son aquellas que durante gran parte de su trayectoria\u00a0no propulsada, realizan una importante fase de planeo, tanto en el espacio como en su reentrada a la atm\u00f3sfera. El programa GPI tiene por objetivo desarrollar un sistema letal, capaz de interceptar el arma hipers\u00f3nica en su etapa de vuelo espacial, previa a la reentrada. El mismo se encuentra en la transici\u00f3n entre la etapa de estudios conceptuales y prefactibilidad hasta ahora en curso, a una nueva etapa de dise\u00f1o y desarrollo de prototipos. Las principales empresas que intervienen son Raytheon Tech y Northrop Grumman.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON \u2014 The Missile Defense Agency \u201cshortly\u201d will move from studying designs for its new\u00a0Glide Phase Interceptor (GPI)<\/a>\u00a0for defending against\u00a0hypersonic missiles<\/a>\u00a0to actually developing hardware, MDA Director Vice Adm. Jon Hill said today.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re ready to transition over to technology development\u201d following a risk review by the Defense Department\u2019s Office of Research and Evaluation, he told the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).<\/p>\n

The GPI program is aimed at knocking down hypersonic missiles during the glide phase of flight when it\u2019s skimming space \u2014 the longest phase of flight between launch and \u201cterminal\u201d phase \u2014 before they reenter the atmosphere. GPI will include new interceptors as well as modifications to the\u00a0Aegis Weapon System<\/a>\u00a0needed to launch them. MDA has been attempting to fast track development due to increasing worry from Pentagon officials and lawmakers about the\u00a0hypersonic capabilities of China and Russia<\/a>,\u00a0 which Hill called \u201ca really tough threat set.\u201d<\/p>\n

MDA in its fiscal 2024\u00a0budget request<\/a>\u00a0asked for $209 million for \u201cearly risk reduction.\u201d<\/p>\n

MDA is developing \u201chigh fidelity models\u201d of GPI under Other Transaction Authority contracts with Raytheon Technologies and Northrop Grumman awarded\u00a0last June<\/a>. Hill said the current game plan is to \u201cdown-select\u201d to one vendor after preliminary design review for both is completed.<\/p>\n

For now, the next step, he said, is to take the design work and analysis to the\u00a0Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC)\u00a0<\/a>to get approval of the technical parameters for GPI hardware development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is in its analysis phase right now. \u2026 We\u2019re just getting ready to go to a JROC next week, and then we have a MDEP, Missile Defense Executive Board, after that, and we\u2019ll transition over to that hard technical development,\u201d he elaborated. \u201cSo that\u2019s when you start to get into real hardware components and those sorts of things to fly in that environment, while we\u2019re also continuing to do science technology\u00a0<\/b>to make sure that we can actually operate in that glide phase.<\/p>\n

\u201cOperating in space is different than operating down low in the atmosphere, different when you\u2019re on the edge of the atmosphere where these things glide,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Hill said that MDA plans to first deploy the GPIs at sea. \u201cWe\u2019re also in parallel looking at what we can do for for deployed air bases and Army maneuver force.\u201d<\/p>\n
