According to the website of Newsweek on July 1st, Boeing has launched a "revolver" hypersonic missile launcher. Boeing has launched a new concept called the "Revolver" hypersonic missile launch system, which is designed to launch multiple hypersonic missiles from the rear of the C-17 Globe III transport aircraft. This advanced launcher has two sequentially installed drums and an electromagnetic ejection device, which can quickly launch up to 12 Boeing X-51A Wave Rider hypersonic cruise missiles. The X-51A Wave Rider is known for its scramjet engine, which can fly at speeds exceeding Mach 5, enabling precise long-range strikes. Integrating the revolver system into the giant C-17 Globe III transport aircraft can support its multifunctional use in various tasks such as troop deployment, medical evacuation, and cargo transportation. Rapid and continuous launch of multiple hypersonic missiles can quickly and decisively take action in critical situations, providing air superiority on the battlefield. Although the integration of the launcher with the C-17 is not yet complete, Boeing has released its virtual design video to showcase the potential of this innovative system. These videos allow people to glimpse the operation of the system, showcasing the rapid deployment of hypersonic missiles and their potential transformative impact on air combat capabilities. Military experts believe that deploying hypersonic missiles from aircraft such as the C-17 will bring significant strategic advantages to the US military. This achievement is part of Boeing's broader efforts to advance hypersonic technology, which is considered crucial for the future military capabilities of the United States. The Pentagon is investing heavily in developing hypersonic weapon capabilities and recently awarded Boeing competitor Lockheed Martin a $756 million contract for ground-based hypersonic systems. Boeing has recently been selected by the Advanced Research Projects Agency of the US Department of Defense to participate in the Glide Destroyer interceptor program. The focus of this plan is to develop a hypersonic interceptor prototype that can destroy high-speed maneuvering threats during the gliding phase of flight. (Lai Xin She)
