Nice artwork. To be one step ahead, I hope we have radar/sonar capable to
detect similar enemy contraptions coming in.

We developed a ground effects, sea skimming missile that used flexible tractor
nozzles for TVC along those lines for DARPA/ONR. USPTO 8,939,084 (others
pending). It turns into a super-cavitating torpedo for the end game and
attaches itself to the hull of the target, then awaits instructions. It’s quite
evil actually and the size of a Type A sonobuoy. The motor demonstrated 40
second action times.

The forward nozzles are to help package things so the rocket tail clears the
ground when the F-15 rotates for takeoff, as I understand it.



ALASA used a similar configuration, until they cancelled it because the
nitrous-acetylene monopropellant wasn't stable (as discussed voluminously here
a few weeks back.) (The reason they wanted a high-energy monoprop seems clear;
ALASA was to have lifted as much as

100 pounds within the same overall size limits imposed by the F-15 carrier,
considerably more than the LOX-kero biprop SALVO's single 3u

cubesat.)



I'd be skeptical about the article's speculation that SALVO is already in
service, both because that seems faster development than likely, and because
the SALVO payload seems more appropriate to a proof-of-concept demonstrator
than to any useful operational mission.

Interesting rocket. The engines are forward and it appears to drop

the tank below it. Two stages and one set of engines.

I'm not sure if anyone saw this but I found it while researching

the Northrop TR108 peroxide motor.

What's rather interesting that Ventions, the Company running

this for DARPA and NASA, parallels a lot of what we have

been talking here on Arocket.
