In the US, they create a new hypersonic drone

< img src = "/uploads/blogs/24/db/ib-fqb5caqs_0888c386c.jpg" Alt = "in the US create a new hypersonic drone"/> < P > Two companies with Alabama, ATRX and Cummspace, have announced cooperation to create a advanced and cost -effective unmanned aircraft (UAV) capable of reaching a speed of five times the sound speed.

< P > According to The Defense Post, the partnership involves the integration of a high -speed turbojet engine into a proven UAV system, which will allow the apparatus to reach sub -sound, supersonic, and subsequently hypersonic speeds.

The basis for development will be the increased version of Hellbound UAS from Cummings & mdash; inexpensive drone-Kamikadze, known for its modular design, printed on a 3D printer and the use of commercial components.

< p > & laquo; a modern battlefield requires systems that can fly faster and deeper into the enemy zone & raquo ;, & mdash; CEAspace CEO of Cummspace said Sheil Camminghos. & laquo; this partnership with ATRX will allow us to develop UAVs with a turbojet engine that combines these characteristics in one apparatus at an affordable price & raquo;.

~ ~ ~ < P > The first vertical launch of hypersonic drone is planned to be carried out within the next 18-24 months.

< P > The US military is actively investing in the development of hypersonic drones, since their extraordinary speed allows to avoid intercepting traditional air defense systems. However, no subdivision still has UAVs that can exceed the sound speed of five times.

< p > If ATRX and Cummspace will be able to develop an inexpensive hypersonic drone in the planned dates, they can become the first to offer this revolutionary technology around the world.
