What Is A Cruise Missile & How It Works (Video)

Basically cruise missile resembles a small, pilotless aircraft. It does exactly what its name intended, can cruises over plain land, sea, desert, hilly terrain in all-weather situation. During World War-II the Nazis used the V1 cruise missile to hit enemy targets first ever in the history. Cruise Missile technology being constantly upgraded since then as this proves as a very effective and successful weapons platform without risking operator’s life. 


Cruise missiles are either subsonic or supersonic depending on their propulsion and design. 

U.S. military's BGM-109 Tomahawk is the most popular cruise missile across the world. Russians developed a variety of cruise missiles like Kh-35, P-15 KN-1, Kalibr LACM and many more.

There are mainly 2 types of cruise missiles. Land attack missiles-LACM and Anti-ship missiles-AShM.

Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missiles ( JASSM)

JASSM is a long-range, conventional, air-to-ground, precision standoff missile for the U.S. and allied forces. Designed to destroy high-value, well-defended, fixed and relocatable targets, JASSM’s significant standoff range keeps aircrews well out of danger from hostile air defense systems.

A 2,000-pound class weapon with a penetrator/blast fragmentation warhead, JASSM employs precision routing and guidance in adverse weather, day or night, using a state-of-the-art infrared seeker in addition to the anti-jam GPS to find a specific aimpoint on the target. Its stealthy airframe makes it extremely difficult to defeat.

JASSM is integrated on multiple aircraft including the B-1, B-2, B-52, F-16, and F-15E. Internationally, JASSM is certified on the Royal Australian Air Force’s F/A-18. Future integration efforts will focus on the U.S. and international versions of Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II fighter aircraft and other international platforms.

With superior performance and affordable price, JASSM offers the best value of any weapon in its class.

Turkish "Atmaca" Anti-Ship Cruise Missile For Project MilliGemi Ships

The Turkish military does not boast the world's most advanced gear for precision strikes but a number of local programs are progressing, signaling reduced future dependence on foreign systems.

Turkish officials recently reported "critical progress" in three systems they have been developing over the past years.

Procurement officials said the first critical firing tests for the Atmaca, a Turkish anti-ship missile, went "extremely successful."

The Atmaca is a radar-guided anti-ship cruise missile with a range of 120 miles. When the program took off in 2009, the idea was to build an indigenous anti-ship missile "with features similar to the Exocet."

But during its development phase Turkish authorities decided that the Atmaca instead should look like the Harpoon Block II, which is already in the Turkish inventory.

"There is an understanding that the Atmaca will eventually replace the Harpoon," said one procurement official familiar with the program.

The Harpoon is an all-weather, over-the-horizon, anti-ship missile system, developed and manufactured by McDonnell Douglas (now Boeing Defense, Space & Security). It was introduced in 1977. The Harpoon system also has a land-strike variant, the Standoff Land Attack Missile.

The regular Harpoon uses active radar homing and a low-level, sea-skimming cruise trajectory to improve survivability and lethality.

"The Atmaca will help us move forward to our goal of achieving maximum lethality with minimum cost," said one Navy official. "That target is essential for countries like Turkey that have budgetary constraints."

An Ankara-based analyst said the military is aiming at a "better and cheaper hit" as the local industry has advanced in several indigenous programs over the past years.

"The successful first firing test was a good sign, cementing the military's trust in an industry that is new at developing such capabilities," he said.

The procurement official said the first deliveries of the Atmaca will start at the end of 2016. The first Atmacas will be outfitted to Turkey's Milgem corvettes and frigates.

The missile system is being developed by a team of Roketsan, a state-controlled missile maker; military specialist Aselsan, Turkey's biggest defense company; and ARMERKOM, an Istanbul-based research and development unit of the Turkish Navy.

Russian Navy's Cruise Missiles Hits ISIS Targets in Syria

Russian Navy launches cruise missile attacks on takfiri ISIS targets across Syria. From four Russian warships in Caspian Sea navy launched 26 cruise missiles which hits targets after traveling 1,000 miles through Iran & Iraqi territories. 11 high value targets of ISIS positions were targeted, claimed by both Russian & Syrian authorities.

This fresh attacks from Russian Navy marked a new level for Putin's anti-terrorism in Middle East. This attacks came after while western world voicing loudly against this types of campaign of Russian authority. US, EU & other western allies wants Russia to stop this campaign and started shouting that Russia doesn't hits ISIS but attacking all anti-Syrian groups like FSA, Jabhat Al-Nusra & some so-called moderate democratic groups those wants Bashar to go.

Although western hypocrisy it seems that Putin won't stop until Syria got safe from terrorism.

India Test-fires Her First Nuclear-capable Cruise Missile ( Its the first test after failed maiden test)

First Indian origin sub-sonic cruise missile, with the name of Nirbhay, has a range of over 700 kilometres, the DRDO official said. Friday's test-fire was the second developmental trial of the missile. The long range capability Nirbhay is being developed by India’s Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO).

 DRDO Nirbhay Cruise Missile, which will range 700+ KM when will be in-service

The missile's first test was carried out on March 12 last year from the same base but the flight had to be terminated mid-way, as deviations were observed from its intended course, however, what was the defects to terminate the test still unknown. The official added that Nirbhay has good loitering capability, effective control and guidance, high degree of accuracy as well as effective stealth features.

The stealth features of Nirbhay is not known also, and how they'll will work. It has a sub-sonic speed, some observer starting compare it with NESCOM developed (Pakistan) "Babur" cruise missile though the official from DRDO didn't clear when this cruise missile will be in series production to add to the Indian missile inventory where Pakistan already swelling their cruise missile inventory with "Babur" (over 700 KM range, another submarine launched version in well under development) long range cruise missile and Air Launched "Ra'ad" (350 KM range) cruise missile. Both of them are efficiently nuclear capable. Among them "Ra'ad" is extremely stealth designed one, and can strike fully silently with very low altitude.

The test comes as India and Pakistan are engaged in skirmishes along the Line of Control (LoC) and the working boundary and also as India has conveyed to China that it could no longer be issued warnings by anyone saying the South Asian nation was now immensely powerful and held a prominent position on the international stage.

US Air Force Expects to Develop Counter-Electronics Missile by 2016

Future high-power microwave package will be mounted onboard an AGM-86 air-launched cruise missile


 

US Air Force Research Laboratory recently announced its intention to develop and test new missile technology during next years. Developed over the past half decade under a program called Counter-electronics High-powered Microwave Advanced Missile Project (CHAMP), the technology for a steerable counter-electronics weapon will be “available” in 2016, said Maj. Gen. Tom Masiello, who commands the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL).

“It can target electronics well enough to fly over a city and shut down electronics in a single building,” Masiello said Tuesday at the Air Force Association’s annual conference here.

Tests over the past few years have proved the concept; now the AFRL is working to get the technology into a test missile. By 2016, Masiello said, the lab plans to design, develop and test a multishot, multitarget, high-power microwave package aboard an AGM-86 conventional air-launched cruise missile.

Beyond that, Masiello said, AFRL’s roadmap for high-power microwave (HPM) weapons calls for integrating the technology onto “maybe, a JASSM-ER-type weapon” in the mid-2020s and aboard “small reusable platforms” such as the F-35 or advanced UAVs by the end of the decade.

"It’s unclear whether such weapons will actually enter production; there’s no program of record yet" he said.

Whos gonna counter your rockets, artillery and mortars in the sky

AI3 is designed to protect warfighters by intercepting rockets and other threats in flight.
 
AI3 will enhance protection of warfighters from rockets, artillery, mortars, cruise missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles.
 
An AI3 interceptor missile is fired from an Avenger-based launcher in a recent test.
 
Raytheon designed the AI3 system to meet cost requirements to provide an affordable solution to the warfighter.

Experiments of Raytheon AI3 missile interception system successfully intercepts first cruise missile target

Raytheon Company and the U.S. Army achieved the first intercept of a cruise missile by the Accelerated Improved Intercept Initiative missile. An AI3 missile also destroyed an unmanned aerial system (UAS). Both intercepts occurred during the recent Black Dart demonstration - a U.S. military exercise held July 29 - August 11.

Fired from the Avenger launcher, AI3 missiles intercepted both targets at low altitude over water and in a high-clutter marine environment - capabilities made possible by upgrades to the missile's semi-active seeker and radar. The ability to defeat UAS and cruise missile threats is the key requirement of the U.S. Army's Indirect Fire Protection Capability (IFPC) Block 1. IFPC is a mobile, ground-based weapon system designed to acquire, track, engage and defeat UAS, cruise missiles, rockets, artillery and mortars.

"Raytheon's AI3 missile is breaking new ground with its destruction of these challenging targets that are real threats to today's warfighter," said Dr. Thomas R. Bussing, Raytheon Advanced Missile Systems vice president. "We've developed a missile that integrates easily into the Army's existing systems. It's affordable, the risk is low and we can get it in the field soon."

Earlier this year, in preparation for the Black Dart event, AI3 missiles destroyed a 240 mm rocket and a UAS at Yuma Proving Ground, Arizona.

"Black Dart was the ideal venue for us to demonstrate AI3's expanded capabilities and to showcase the missile as a low-cost, complimentary interceptor for IFPC Block 1," added Bussing.

About AI3 In 2012-13, Raytheon developed and successfully tested a system, also called AI3, to counter rockets, artillery and mortars (C-RAM). The system included the AI3 missile as its centerpiece, plus fire control radar, command and control node and launcher. In Sept. 2013, the AI3 system destroyed 22 of 24 threats, including 107mm rocket targets at various quadrant elevations, as well as mortars, an unmanned aircraft system and improvised rocket-assisted mortars. Raytheon developed the AI3 system in just over 18 months to meet a Department of Defense urgent need, and demonstrated that it also meets IFPC Block 2 requirements for C-RAM.

About Raytheon Company, with 2013 sales of $24 billion and 63,000 employees worldwide, is a technology and innovation leader specializing in defense, security and civil markets throughout the world. With a history of innovation spanning 92 years, Raytheon provides state-of-the-art electronics, mission systems integration and other capabilities in the areas of sensing; effects; and command, control, communications and intelligence systems, as well as cyber security and a broad range of mission support services. Raytheon is headquartered in Waltham, Mass.

Pakistan Successfully Tests Hatf-VII Babur Land Attack Cruise Missile


Pakistan has successfully tested the Hatf-VII Babur Land Attack Cruise Missile (LACM) today. Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) has announced that Hatf-VII Babur was test fired against the target at a range of 700 kilometers.


Hatf-VII Babur Land Attack Cruise Missile (LACM) has a maximum range of 750 kilometers km and longer range version with range of 1000km is also under development.  Hatf-VII Babur Land Attack Cruise Missile features stealth shaping and low flying capability to avoid detection by the enemy radars.


Hatf-VII Babur Land Attack Cruise Missile (LACM) was test fired from a new multi tube Missile Launch Vehicle (MLV) which carries three tube MLV allowing Pakistan Army to rapidly engage its targets with surgical precision.


Hatf-VII Babur Land Attack Cruise Missile (LACM) uses Terrain Contour Matching (TERCOM) and Digital Scene Matching and Area Co-relation (DSMAC) to achieve circular error probability (CEP) of less then 3 meters.


President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani have congratulated the scientists  of the National Engineering and Scientific Commission (NESCOM) on the successful test of the Hatf-VII Babur Land Attack Cruise Missile (LACM).

National Engineering and Scientific Commission (NESCOM) started the development of the Hatf-VII Babur cruise missile in late 1990 in order to counter the Indian efforts to license produce the improved version of Russian Yakhont cruise missile which has been modified for land attacks.


Recovery of two intact US RGM/UGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missiles from the Southern Pakistan aided Pakistani efforts and Pakistan tested the Hatf-VII Babur against a target 500 kilometers away in 2005. Range of the Hatf-VII Babur was increased to 750 kilometers by the Pakistani scientists.

NESCOM has also developed Ra’ad air launched cruise missile (ALCM) for Pakistani air force and it has range of 350 kilometers.
