旨在研制地面发射中程高超声速武器系统的美国防高级研究计划局（DARPA）“作战火力”计划进入新的“阶段3b”发展阶段，开展全尺寸导弹制造、装配及运载系统飞行试验。
在成功完成“阶段3a”工作后，洛马公司导弹与飞行控制分公司被授予新合同。
该计划旨在继续推进研发以满足预期战术机动性和系统性能要求，确保向国防部交付中程地地导弹。
DARPA’s Operational Fires Ground-Launched Hypersonics program enters new phase
DARPA’s Operational Fires (OpFires) program, which is developing a ground-launched intermediate-range hypersonic weapons system, is advancing to a new phase. Phase 3b will involve full-scale missile fabrication, assembly, and flight testing from a launch vehicle.
Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control was awarded this new contract modification after leading a successful Phase 3a integrated system preliminary design review that resulted in a comprehensive design and test plan.
“The objectives of DARPA’s OpFires program remain unchanged. The system design that Lockheed is developing continues to achieve the desired tactical mobility and system performance in line with the Department of Defense’s push to deliver an intermediate-range surface-to-surface missile,” said Lt. Col. Joshua Stults, the DARPA program manager for OpFires in DARPA’s Tactical Technology Office.
OpFires aims to demonstrate a novel system enabling hypersonic boost glide weapons to rapidly and precisely engage critical, time-sensitive targets while penetrating modern enemy air defenses.
The program is developing an advanced booster capable of delivering a variety of payloads at multiple ranges and compatible mobile ground launch platforms that can be rapidly deployed.
