The Lockheed Martin BGM-178 RATTLRS (Revolutionary Approach To Time-critical Long Range Strike) was an advanced cruise missile concept demonstration funded by the US Navy with the view to develop technologies that would then be used to develop a successor to the BGM-109 Tomahawk. The five year contract was awarded on 1 March 2004. [1]

2006年3月1日 · Revolutionary Approach To Time-critical Long Range Strike (RATTLRS) represents a new supersonic cruise missile concept, enabling warfighters to rapidly launch precision attacks against time-critical targets, from ranges of hundreds of kilometers.

RATTLRS is a joint project between the Navy, Air Force, National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and potentially other government agencies. There are two aspects to this project. The...

2004年8月11日 · Lockheed Martin received a Revolutionary Approach to Time-critical Long Range Strike (RATTLRS) phase-two contract award from the Office of Naval Research on July 20. RATTLRS is part of the National Aerospace Initiative and is a demonstration program to increase capabilities and performance for expendable supersonic vehicles.

2006年10月19日 · RATTLRS, using the unique capability of turbine power systems, can be launched at subsonic speeds, without a booster, and accelerate on its own accord to cruise speeds in excess of Mach 3.

2006年10月18日 · Lockheed Martin completed penetrator warhead sled tests to successfully conclude the high-speed payload employment testing component of its Revolutionary Approach To Time-critical Long Range Strike (RATTLRS) effort. RATTLRS is a supersonic, science and technology missile flight demonstrator sponsored by the Office of Naval Research.

The Revolutionary Approach to Time-critical Long Range Strike, or RATTLRS, system will expand high-speed flight capabilities and improve performance for expendable supersonic vehicles. A demonstration technology program underway is developing U.S. military weapons that can travel at greater supersonic speeds.

2009年10月28日 · 针对全球敏捷打击的作战需求，美国海军研究办公室于2003年发起了一个称之为“时敏目标远程打击创新方法” (RATTLRs)项目，力图通过广泛的技术验证，寻找到一种切实可行的高速巡航导弹技术。 在经过6年多时间的潜心发展后，RATTLRs已经从概念评估、方案竞争发展到系统研制阶段，目前正在对至关重要的YJ102涡喷发动机进行台架试验，首次验证试飞已经为期不远。 洛马方案脱颖而出. RATTLRS项目实质上是一项技术应用验证计划，并不是明确要求 …

2008年8月12日 · 时敏目标远程打击创新方法简称为rattlrs，这项技术将大大拓展高速飞行领域的想像空间，提升超音速武器的实际性能。 是一个技术验证项目 RATTLRS（时敏目标远程打击创新方法）实际上是一个技术验证项目而不是一个武器研发项目。

The RATTLRS (Revolutionary Approach To Time Critical Long Range Strike Project) program, led by the U.S. Navy's ONR (Office of Naval Research), was begun in early 2004. Lockheed Martin received the contract to design, build and fly the RATTLRS flight test vehicle.
