🇺🇸 ВМС США вновь провели испытательные стрельбы электромагнитной рельсотронной пушки после нескольких лет фактической заморозки программы.

Как сообщается, испытания прототипа прошли в феврале 2025 года на полигоне White Sands в Нью-Мексико в рамках трехдневной серии пусков, организованной подразделениями Центра надводных боевых систем ВМС США.

Работы велись совместно с Управлением перехода гиперзвуковых технологий (Joint Hypersonics Transition Office), которое отвечает за внедрение и развитие перспективных гиперзвуковых систем.

Рельсотрон использует электромагнитное ускорение вместо порохового заряда, разгоняя металлическую болванку до экстремальных скоростей, что потенциально позволяет поражать морские, наземные и даже воздушные цели на большой дальности.

Например, стандартная американская 127-мм артиллерийская установка Mark 45 разгоняет 31-килограммовый снаряд до скорости около 760–830 м/с и имеет дальность стрельбы примерно 24–37 км в зависимости от типа боеприпаса.

Прототип рельсотрона, разработанный для ВМС США, способен разгонять 10–12-килограммовый снаряд до скоростей порядка 2–2,5 км/с (более 6–7 скоростей звука), что теоретически позволяет поражать цели на огромных дистанциях.

При этом интересно, что программа долгое время считалась закрытой: еще в начале 2020-х ВМС США объявили о сворачивании работ после технических проблем — прежде всего огромных требований к энергоснабжению, охлаждению и быстрому износу ствола при стрельбе на высоких скоростях.

Однако интерес к технологии вернулся на фоне планов создания нового класса крупных кораблей, инициированных Трампом, где рельсотрон рассматривается как одно из ключевых вооружений наряду с гиперзвуковыми ракетами, лазерами и традиционными артиллерийскими установками.

На видео можно видеть стрельбу из прототипа рельсотрона на испытательном полигоне в Вирджинии в 2016 году.

How do hypersonic engines survive extreme temperatures? A numerical study investigates a novel regenerative cooling channel where methane fuel flows through the engine walls, helping control heat while feeding the combustion system.

Physics-Informed Neural Surrogates for Mesh-Invariant Modeling of High-Speed Flows at #AIAA #SciTech!

High-speed flight simulation is computationally brutal. A single CFD run can take hours on a cluster. That's fine for final validation, but not for early design exploration or real-time decision-making.

Neural surrogate that predicts aerodynamic behavior 595x faster than CFD while maintaining ~1% relative error.

Russian scientists targeted for treason when Russia's victims destroy incoming weapons. Keep it up, Putin. Great work!

"Even now, the best students refuse to come to work with us, and our best young employees are leaving science. A number of research areas that are critically important to laying the fundamental groundwork for the aerospace technology of the future are simply closing because employees are afraid to engage in such research."

One thing I find interesting about the sort of... historiography, if you will, of defense journalism, is that #hypersonics were THE threat, the BIG HUGE pacing threat, until basically the exact point that the Air Force's ARRW passed a major testing milestone, and then it pretty rapidly transitioned to "hypersonics are overrated". I dunno, maybe its just confirmation bias from me thinking about it. #milstodon
