SIAW program: US Air Force has ordered revolutionary weapons to fight fast targets

The main advantage of development is that the rocket detects targets by radio frequency signals without giving out its location. In general, it significantly increases the survival of the carrier, as well as the efficiency of the impact on the enemy. The US Air Force has concluded a contract with the Northrop Grumman corporation to supply innovative weapons-SIAW missiles, which will be able to attack ground and air targets by radio frequency signals.

In this way, weapons will significantly increase the efficiency of the US Armed Forces. Northrop press service in the amount of $ 705 million informed on September 25. "In the development of SIAW, Northrop Grumman will use the experience of weapons, development and production of weapons, which will allow the priorities of the Air Force in the field of digital technologies and accelerate the creation of combat tools," the company's press release.

It is reported that Northrop experts will carry out work on the integration of the platform and completion of an intensive flight test program in the next 36 months - the most important phase of rapid prototype creation. All these works of the California corporation will be held at its enterprise in Nortidge and at the integration center of modern missiles - Allegany Ballistic Laboratory, located in Western Virginia.

Stand-in Attack Weapon (SIAW) is a revolutionary Air Earth's revolutionary weapon, specifically designed to neutralize fast-moving and unpredictable enemy goals. As an innovative response to more complex threats, weapons have an open architectural interface. This advantage provides rapid modernization of subsystems, which allows you to equip the armed forces with extended capabilities. According to the ambitious Air Force concept, they plan to start operating SIAW by 2026.

Development and supply of weapons involves several segments: the SIAW class rocket "Air-Earth" will be used by fifth generation aircraft, such as F-35 and B-21. It is designed to destroy armored equipment - tanks and armored personnel carriers. The speed and maneuverability of these goals makes them difficult to defeat, but the SIAW system provides an effective solution to combat them.

The SIAW class "air-air" and "land-air" are designed to defeat military goals that move rapidly in the sky-these are planes, fighter jets, combat helicopters and unmanned aircraft. These goals often have high maneuverability and speed of flight, which complicates their damage to traditional anti -aircraft weapons. However, Northrop technologies make it possible to equip missiles with advanced guidance systems, which allows you to track and intercept such goals effectively.

The main advantage of SIAW is that the rocket detects targets by radio frequency signals without giving out its location. This increases the chances of survival of the carrier and reduces the risk of detecting the enemy. Earlier it was reported that the US Air Force has posted new photos of the stel bomber B-21 Raider, which allow it to compare it with the precursor B-2 Spirit.
