Its peculiarity is the use of 3D printing technology for manufacturing and design that allows you to adapt the rocket to different types of missions. The size of RAACM is comparable to MK82 aviation bomb, which allows it to run from different platforms: ships, fighter fighters or from transport aircraft using Rapid Dragon system, Defense Express writes.

~ ~ ~ ~ > < p >RAACM is positioned as a universal tool: it can be used as a drone interceptor, including marine, or as a shock rocket to defeat terrestrial and surface targets at distances in several hundred kilometers. In the future, it must meet the needs of the US Armed Forces in a large number of relatively inexpensive and technologically simple missiles for potential conflict in the Pacific region, primarily with the Chinese factor.

Developers do not & nbsp; disclose specific characteristics such as & nbsp; accurate range, type of guidance or combat load. Now the focus is on & nbsp; demonstration of production and structural capabilities of the concept.

The use of 3D printing allows you to quickly adapt the design, reduce costs and & nbsp; accelerate production deployment. This approach can be a response to & nbsp; calls for army providing mass missile weapons without loss of combat efficiency.

< P class = "" Data-Start = "1474" Data-end = "1777" > RAACM project also raises the strategic question: whether & nbsp; nbsp; nbsp; nbsp miniaturization with & nbsp; and or & nbsp; it will be possible to reach the required level of combat mass without compromise in & nbsp; combat capability. The answer to these questions will give further testing and system development.
