MTAAM-3 Silencer Air to Air Missile

Type: MADAAM (Most ADvanced Air to Air Missile)
Propulsion: The Silencer uses a SCRAMjet engine, which instead of using an independent chamber for oxygen it uses oxygen from the atmosphere in order to light the fuel chamber, saving the space which could be used instead to add more fuel, giving the missiles a much longer range. In order to further this range the engine is made of a Ni based superalloy with high Cr content and using the d-electron concept. The d-electron concept was developed on the basis of the molecular orbital calculations of the electronic structures of Ni alloys. The two electronic parameters that are important for this concept are the bond order between an alloying element and nickel atons, Bo, and the other is the d-orbital energy level of alloing elements. This specific composition has high hot-corrossion resistance, tested by the immersion test, where it was tested through weight loss. There is a second coating oa Rene N6 single crystal based superalloy called CMSX-11B and CMSX-116, containing Chromium levels of 12.5% to 14.5% respectively. The Rene N6 also increases hydrogen resistance (HEE).

Range: The maximum range is 275 kilometers
Maximum Velocity: Mach 4.7 (decreasing range)
Optimum Velocity: 3.7 for maximum range

Guidance System: The Silencer uses a computer which means it's guided bu the MRT-2 RADAR system on the Hawk and Falcon, and can be programmed to be compatible with any RADAR, including ground RADAR. The missile also has a miniature RADAR with a twenty kilometer range for its terminal phase. The Predator is also programmed for use of surface SODAR and CELLDAR systems if available.

The missile also has a heterodyne-reception optical RADAR using a standard configuration [transmitter laser > exit optics > atmospheric propagation path > target] and [photodetector > photocurrent processing > image processing / BermCombiner/ local oscillato entrance optics]. The Silencer's transmitter is a Casegrainian telescope/ Picture coming soon...

Very nice work Macabees. You never seem to fail at putting out very good weaponry.

I assume a surface-to-air version can also made of this design?

Outstanding work.

Yea, a lot of that is copied from those sources, because put in the words of a 17 year old...I'm not that hardcore.

And thanks all!

Yes, but it would probably be larger, with a convential fuel booster for the early stage in order to get it high enough to use SCRAMjet or RAMjet.

OOC: Nice missile but 10km blast range? Seems a bit goofy, but otherwise nice job.
