USN SM-3 #4901

Open HunterDNiu opened 2 months ago

HunterDNiu commented 2 months ago

Booster side:

Mk72, Mk104, Mk136, 3km/s cutoff. Range ~460nmi, ceiling 550km. Flight endurance is about 370s.

Such booster would be able to intercept IRBM like DF-26, but (see below Blk IB) would be limited by platform/GNC/KV and is only MRBM (3000km) capable. The same booster enabled ASAT (see below Blk IB) but not for I/IA for the same reason.

KV side: LEAP Solid divert motor, no throttle.

Similar to Orion spacecraft launch abort system attitude control system.

One color IR seeker, 15nmi range.

Discrimination/speed penalty if possible, range comparative to PAC-3/THAAD seeker.

PoK: 80% suggested plus speed/angle penalty modifications as appropriate, would suggest ~65% for a MRBM (all head to head midcourse/after apogee interception).

Booster side:

Same as I/IA.

IRBM (5500km), ASAT capable.

KV side:

Solid divert motor, throttleable.

Two color IR seeker, 30nmi, advanced signal processor.

Higher/more precise divert, discrimination, can handle higher speed.

PoK: 90% suggested plus speed/angle penalty modifications as appropriate, would suggest ~85% for a MRBM, 75% IRBM (all head to head midcourse/after apogee interception).

Booster side:

Mk72, 21in SRM, 21in SRM. 4.5km/s cutoff, Range 1400nmi, ceiling 1400km, flight endurance 700s.

ICBM capable.

KV side:

High divert KV, ~twice the diameter.

Discrimination IR seeker, 45nmi.

Probably storable propellant, higher/more precise divert (like they saw on the ICBM test).

PoK: 95% base, >90% MRBM (what a waste), 85% IRBM, 75% ICBM (all head to head midcourse/after apogee interception).
