Frankreich: Hyperschallflugkörper V-MAX

Air-Breathing, High-Speed Propulsion To Make 2021 Comeback
France is following closely behind with hypersonic efforts associated with enhancing its air- and sea-launched deterrent. The first likely to deliver results is the V-MAX Experimental Maneuvering Vehicle, which is expected to undertake a first flight during 2021. ArianeGroup is apparently the lead company for the project.

Including the Annual Financial Report

ArianeGroup’s work continued apace during the year after its selection by the French Directorate General of Weapons Procurement (DGA) for the development of a hypersonic glider demonstrator. The project, dubbed V-max (Véhicule Manœuvrant eXpérimental, or experimental maneuvering vehicle), should see its first flight in 2021.

— Audition de Mme Florence Parly, ministre des Armées, sur le projet de loi de finances pour 2020.


Mardi
1er octobre 2019
Nous maintenons également nos efforts dans le domaine de la cybersécurité et de la cyberdéfense et, dans le cadre du renouvellement des deux composantes de la dissuasion ; nous poursuivons nos études sur le programme franco-britannique de missiles ainsi que sur le démonstrateur de planeur hypersonique V-max – Véhicule manœuvrant expérimental.

COMPTES RENDUS DE LA COMMISSION DES AFFAIRES ETRANGERES, DE LA DEFENSE ET DES FORCES ARMEES

Mardi 22 octobre 2019
Mme la ministre a en effet estimé que la France ne pouvait plus attendre pour en faire de même, d'autant qu'elle dispose de toutes les compétences pour cela ; elle a annoncé début 2019 qu'un démonstrateur de planeur hypersonique, appelé V-MAX, effectuerait un premier vol d'ici fin 2021. Il permettra d'étudier les atouts qu'apporte cette capacité, dans le domaine offensif, ainsi que les mesures à prendre face à cette nouvelle menace.

Dieses Programm läuft auch schon ewig:

French Flight Test Program LEA Status

Annual Report 2011

Tomorrow's hypersonic propulsion system under test

ONERA has all the skills, expertise and resources needed to study and design new propulsion methods. In particular we have shown our capabilities through the LEA program, carried out since 2003 with MBDA on behalf of French defense procurement agency DGA. The aim of this program is to design an experimental vehicle with a dual mode ramjet engine, then build and test prototypes in flight to verify whether the development method can produce a vehicle capable of operating in the speed range from Mach 4 to Mach 8.


The LEA program entered its final phase in 2011, with construction of prototypes and demonstration of their flight readiness based on ground tests, prior to the actual flight tests, planned for 2014 and 2015. A key phase in this process is ground combustion tests of a full-scale LEA vehicle under Mach 6 flight conditions: the S4 wind tunnel in Modane was therefore specially modified to handle the model.

The LEA program seeks to demonstrate the propulsion budget of this experimental vehicle to a sufficient degree of accuracy, a prerequisite for any development of an operational missile using hypersonic propulsion.

More Details Emerge On France’s V-MAX Hypersonic Glider Test
More details about France’s V-MAX hypersonic glider flight test have emerged after U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command revealed that it had provided the sounding rocket as a booster for the experimental maneuvering vehicle.

Detailing its involvement, the U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center revealed on Dec.12 that the V-MAX glider, developed by ArianeGroup for France’s DGA defense materiel agency, had been launched on a Terrier-Oriole two-stage rocket system.

The launcher was provided to the French government as part of an ongoing collaboration between the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) and the French Armed Forces.

The V-MAX launch was the third sounding rocket mission from the French test site at Biscarrosse on the Bay of Biscay coast. An earlier launch had suffered a power system failure, although it is unclear whether it had a V-MAX payload onboard.

V-MAX was encased inside a nose cone shroud at the top of the rocket, with the shroud being one of several new innovations on the launcher. Others included new backup timers and a revised attitude control system.

Launched from Biscarrosse at 10 p.m. on June 26, the Terrier-Oriole propelled the V-MAX to an altitude higher than expected, NSWC said, but one that was still within the French requirements.

V-MAX was released at the rocket’s apogee and descended at hypersonic speeds.
U.S. companies involved in the effort included Corvid Technologies LLC, Kratos Defense and Rocket Support Services Inc., and Peraton Inc. The latter company built the nose cone to protect the V-MAX vehicle.

“The Terrier-Oriole-Oriole rocket motor configuration has proven to be viable in the growing number of our options for hypersonic research,” Cowman added.

French officials had been tight-lipped about the experiment after it was made public. They said only that the demonstrator “contained many onboard technological innovations” and undertook “a demanding long-range trajectory.”

In July, French lawmakers approved a second V-MAX test, dubbed V-MAX 2, which is planned for around 2025.

“The V-MAX demonstrator will be followed by a higher-performance one, which will go farther in flight testing,” Adm. Charles-Henri du Che, ArianeGroup’s military advisor, said in a parliamentary hearing in May.

“Once we have those two demonstrators, we will be in a position to say France masters the technology,” du Che said.

It is unclear whether the partnership to use the Terrier-Oriole will continue to support future V-MAX flight tests. U.S. officials say the next phase in the partnership “will focus on boosting training for both French and American personnel.”
