Have Dash

[calmDown@all]

Have Dash was a program conducted by the United States Air Force for the development of a stealthy air-to-air missile. Although the Have Dash II missile appears to have been flight tested, the results of the project remain classified and no production is believed to have been undertaken.

Have Dash I
Have Dash I was a classified project to develop an air-to-air missile for use by stealth aircraft. The concept, developed by the USAF Armament Laboratory between 1985 and 1988, was extensively studied but failed to produce any flying hardware.

Have Dash II
Have Dash II, initiated in 1990, was a renewed effort to develop a stealthy air-to-air missile, intended to be used by the Advanced Tactical Fighter – the YF-22 and YF-23 – and to replace the AIM-120 AMRAAM in service.

Have Dash II was designed with a composite body, trapezoidal in shape. This was intended both to reduce the missile's radar-cross-section and to resist heat at hypersonic speeds, as the missile was intended to operate at Mach 5.The body shape also allowed flush external carriage aboard the launching aircraft, and provided aerodynamic lift, making the missile more maneuverable.

The prototype Have Dash II missiles were recoverable,and utilised Rocketdyne Mk 58 solid-fueled rocket motors of the same type used by the AIM-7 Sparrow. Production missiles were expected to be powered by aramjet engine,and would use inertial navigation during the cruise phase of flight, with a dual-mode infrared/active radar seeker head for terminal guidance.

Flight testing of the prototype Have Dash II missiles was expected to begin in 1992; it appears that the testing was conducted, with the missile being considered for further testing of advanced air-to-air missile concepts. However, no results of the test firings have been declassified, and the missile's development was not further pursued.
plzz!! if some one has any news on its development kindly share!!

why not make the body of the missile out of the same stuff the F-35 is made out of??

Jewelry Made From an Actual SR-71 Blackbird Is Cool as Hell
stuff like that!!!more usefull!!!

plzz!!!! share ur views @Blue Marlin @Zarvan @zebra7 @jhungary
thanks regards

the f35 can only handle about 9 g's of load whilst missiles handle about 60+ g's of load.

there is no doubt that the usa is developing a bvraam. the aim120 c and below are no longer going to cut it as china among others are developing jamming capabilities that will jam the missiles radar. the aim-120 d is a stop gap measure until a new missile is introduced.
i would imagine it would be a hybrid engine consisting of either a ram/scram engined coupled with a dual pulse solid rocket engine. this would give the missile a very long range [300+km] keeping the pilot out of harms way and also it would [aogk] would be much higher than normal bvraams.

also their focus would be on medium range missiles. this is because when in the near future air combat scenarios will be that of where they are stealth fighters will be fighting each other. this means tracking capability is essential, being able to seem them before they can see you. but still you would need to be quiet close for you to see each other. this would be about 80km max. so having a missile that would basically guarantee a kill is essential. this mean having a missile with a constant velocity and high g loads and has to be resistant to jamming. missiles in this range would be the astra, pl12,pl10, mica,r-27,derby and possibly early variants of the aim120 a/b
