Operational Fires (abbreviated as OpFires) is a hypersonic ground-launched system developed by DARPA for the United States Armed Forces. [3] The system deploys a boost glide vehicle. The prime contractor for the program is Lockheed Martin. [4] The missile's range is thought to be up to 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers). [5]

The goal of the Operational Fires (OpFires) program is to develop and demonstrate a novel ground-launched system enabling hypersonic boost glide weapons to penetrate modern enemy air defenses and rapidly and precisely engage critical time sensitive targets.

2020年10月15日 · OpFires is an innovative ground-launched system that enables a hypersonic boost glide missile system to penetrate modern enemy air defenses and rapidly engage time-sensitive targets. Hypersonic missiles typically go one speed: as fast as they can.

OpFires导弹一级助推器是直径32英寸 (81厘米)的固体火箭助推器 (SRM)，第二级是“可调节推力助推器” (TBD)，采用液体氧化剂+固体燃烧剂，可在飞行中多次重启，变换推力 (深度节流)，增加敌方反导系统拦截难度，携弹量为三枚，以“后勤车辆系统更换项目” (LVSR ...

2022年8月10日 · The DARPA OpFires Project will use throttleable rocket motors on hypersonic missiles to achieve varying ranges in flight; therefore, OpFires can hit targets within the range envelope up to 1,000 miles (1,609 kilometers).

2020年10月23日 · DARPA is developing a new intermediate-range weapon it calls Operational Fires, a reference to the theater level of war, between tactics and strategy. This year, DARPA is ground-testing three rival...

2021年1月11日 · DARPA’s Operational Fires (OpFires) program, which is developing a ground-launched intermediate-range hypersonic weapons system, is advancing to a new phase. Phase 3b will involve full-scale missile fabrication, assembly, and flight testing from a launch vehicle.

近日，由洛克希德马丁公司与美国国防部高级研究计划局（DRAPA）共同推进的“陆军战斗火力项目”（Operational Fires，“OpFires”）首次公开了一副设计概念图。 根据这幅概念图显示出来的信息，“OpFires”将由M97…

2020年10月15日 · OpFires seeks to develop and demonstrate an innovative ground-launched system to enable a hypersonic boost glide missile system to penetrate modern enemy air defenses and rapidly engage time-sensitive targets.

2022年7月20日 · OpFires 的主要目标是开发和演示一种地面发射的两级推进系统，该系统能够使用来自无处不在的美国军用卡车（托盘装载系统系列车辆）的高超音速（大于五倍音速）有效载荷，可以穿透现代防空系统并精确打击时间紧迫的目标。
