Iran unveils its newest hypersonic missile

I'm waiting for a successful test flight. For all I know this HGV could blow up 2 seconds after launch.Iran unveils its newest hypersonic missile
Iran has officially presented its advanced hypersonic medium-range ballistic missile dubbed Fattah-2www.rt.com
Wouldn't be surprised if the Russians helped with the design.
The only reason to use an HGV is to deliver a warhead through advanced detection and interception systems (aka Israel). It makes sense that Iran wants one.
Yes, apparently the range of 2000Km to reach Israel has been achieved?
Fattah: Iran unveils its first hypersonic missile
Iran says the Fattah can penetrate missile defence systems due to its high manoeuvrability and speed.
HGV is, relatively, sitting still vrs directed energy weapons. There is a small window open right now for these weapons to apex. Iron beam and the US’s laser defense already shoots down artillery and mortars (which is harder due to reaction time and dwell time for burn though) Ballistic threats are just going to need (many) more fixed and mobile bases.
Energy weapons are here now, no Buck Rogers required. For example the US Army has put laser defense (at least two emitters) on every aircraft including Guard and Reserve. They current blind IR missiles but they are working on a follow up to burn through all types of missiles including RPG’s.
This is public domain information. There is much more coming to an enemy near you soon

Interesting, did they fix them then? Last I heard they struggled on multiple targets due to shutting down from over heating.HGV is, relatively, sitting still vrs directed energy weapons.

As I understand it the units will have two separate fiber optic bundles and emmiters. (Basically two weapons in one box with one power supply, one set of targeting computers etc and alternating) but that is deep deep rumint C-
Are they still scrapped from the c-130 due to wind turbulence?
And did what you said stop them overheating?
Don’t know about AC-130, it seems to be a work in progress.
Overheating, yes. But still nowhere near continuous. That would, at this time and this tech level require batteries (batteries are “groups” to you civilians out there)

Let's not forget the atmospheric thermal blooming issues. A constant at sea.
Less and less of a problem for terminal protection (onsite)
Naval experience? If so than obviously aware of limited windows.
No really. They are
1. adding “more power” aka Jeremy
2. (And this is totally cool) firing a targeting laser to measure diffusion and using super computers to detune or unfocus the beam in reverse so it converges coherently.
In a stable environment. Lasers on ships at sea are still limited to use regardless. Weather conditions allow many opportunities to by pass laser use.
If its terminal protection the projectile is coming to you. Protecting yourself not a factor.
However protecting an away target is a serious issue.
My limited experience is terrestrial and aeronautical based. I’m sure weather conditions will play a serious role especially nautical.

Optical scientists in Australia and the US have created a high-power Star Wars style-laser, boosting their use in defence and for remote sensing applications.
