The \u201cStarry Sky\u201d weapon tested on August 3rd is a blistering fast weapon meant to overwhelm enemy air and missile defenses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text\">The China Aerospace Aerodynamics Research Institute announced on its WeChat account that it conducted the first domestic test of a \u201cwave rider\u201d hypersonic vehicle at 6:41 a.m., August 3, 2018. According to Beijing\u2019s state media, the rocket flew for ten minutes. The hypersonic vehicle that detached from the booster rocket flew for 400 seconds, achieving a maximum speed of Mach 5.5 to 6 ( 4,200 to 4,600 miles an hour) and reaching an altitude of 100,000 feet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text\">The People\u2019s Liberation Army\u00a0<a class=\"body-link\" href=\"http:\/\/military.china.com.cn\/2018-08\/06\/content_58137212.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">news site<\/a>\u00a0describes the wave rider weapon as one that \u201cuses the aerodynamic shape of the fuselage to generate lift, with a lift-to-drag ratio between 0.5 and 1.3. \u2026 it is mainly used for spacecraft design to re-enter the atmosphere. The wave body is used in a wide range of speeds, and has a high structural strength, maneuverability and lift-to-drag ratio at Mach 5.23. From the appearance, the wave body looks flat.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed embed-image embed-image-left embed-image-large\" data-align=\"left\" data-size=\"large\"><\/div>\n<p class=\"body-text\">China&#8217;s state media describes Starry Sky 2 in vague terms, describing it as a &#8220;wave rider&#8221; but not actually attributing an engine, like a scramjet, to the vehicle. As a result, Starry Sky 2 appears to be a so-called \u201cboost glide\u201d weapon. Boost glide weapons hitch a ride on a rocket to high altitudes, but unlike ballistic missiles, they fall short of sending their payloads all the way to low Earth orbit. The weapon then glides down to the target at thousands of miles an hour.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text\">The advantage of boost glide weapons is that they confound current missile defenses. Boost glide weapons fly to their targets at a trajectory that is too low for ballistic missile defense systems and too high for traditional air defense missiles. A boost glide weapon could hypothetically deliver a nuclear weapon against America\u2019s Ground Based Midcourse Defense ballistic missile interceptors in Alaska, clearing the way for a wave of ballistic missiles to follow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text\">That said, China has a strict no first use policy with regards to nuclear weapons. A Chinese boost glide weapon would more likely carry a conventional payload to strike a target like an enemy headquarters or aircraft carrier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"body-text\">China is moving rapidly to develop new \u201cleap ahead\u201d military technology, especially weapons that the U.S. has no established defense against such as railguns and hypersonic weapons. If China can erode the U.S. lead in bleeding edge tech, it may not have to spend enormous sums on other, outdated weapons.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fuente:\u00a0<\/strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.popularmechanics.com\/military\/weapons\/a22665761\/china-conducts-new-hypersonic-weapon-test\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.popularmechanics.com<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El China Aerospace Aerodynamics Research Institute anunci\u00f3 que realiz\u00f3 la primera prueba de un misil hipers\u00f3nico &#8220;wave rider&#8221; a las 6:41 am, 3 de agosto&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[18,29],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3202"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3202"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3202\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3202"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fie.undef.edu.ar\/ceptm\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
