La Compa\u00f1\u00eda Noruega NAMMO, avanza en el desarrollo de un proyectil de artiller\u00eda verdaderamente revolucionario que podr\u00eda convertirse en un \u201cGame Changer\u201d para la artiller\u00eda de campa\u00f1a. Se trata de un proyectil de 155mm, compatible con los sistemas en servicio actualmente, que re\u00fane las caracter\u00edsticas de un proyectil convencional, pero con el agregado de propulsi\u00f3n del tipo Ramjet con combustible s\u00f3lido.<\/p>\n
Norway’s Nammo has unveiled a potentially revolutionary concept for an air-breathing, ramjet-powered, pseudo-missile that any\u00a0standard 155mm howitzer\u00a0can fire at targets more than 60 miles away. The U.S. Army has already expressed an interest in just such a projectile, which could also end up in service with the U.S. Marine Corps, and the round might finally offer a way for the U.S. Navy to make use of\u00a0the cannons\u00a0on its new, stealthy\u00a0Zumwalt<\/em>-class destroyers.<\/p>\n The defense contractor revealed\u00a0a full-size mockup\u00a0of the design, which it is simply calling the 155mm Solid Fuel Ramjet at present, at the biennial Eurosatory arms expo in the French capital Paris, which began on June 11, 2018. The firm expects to begin live-fire testing of the projectile in 2019 or 2020 and hopes to have the new ammunition in production and in operational service with a military by between 2023 and 2024.<\/p>\n
