The engine draws in air to bolster the forward motion of the projectile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The companies aim to design their artillery round for use by L39 and L58 cannons, the statement read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Army currently uses the L39 cannon and is preparing to field an Extended Range Cannon Artillery weapon in fiscal 2023 that is an L58, meaning it has a longer gun tube to achieve greater range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe believe the Boeing Ramjet 155, with continued technology maturation and testing, can help the U.S. Army meet its long-range precision fires modernization priorities,\u201d Steve Nordlund, Boeing Phantom Works vice president and general manager, said in the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The launch followed years of research, development, and more than 450 static and short-range tests, Boeing said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Boeing and Nammo were awarded a contract in July 2019 under the Army\u2019s XM1155 program, an effort to further develop extended-range artillery munition. The duo was awarded a Phase II technology contract nearly two years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe test results demonstrate that ramjets are viable and can fundamentally change the future of artillery,\u201d Nammo CEO Morten Brandtz\u00e6g said. \u201cThe test \u2014 with all aspects from cannon firing, to the projectile body, fins, and trajectory all functioning perfectly \u2014 represents a real technological breakthrough in artillery.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The test\u2019s key achievement was to \u201cmake sure that [the projectile] was able to come out of the cannon and survive the launch, you have a lot of G-forces,\u201d Mark Altobelli, director of Boeing Phantom Works, told Defense News in an interview at the Space and Missile Defense Symposium in Huntsville, Alabama, this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The industrial team also observed the ignition, verified the propulsion performance and ensured the motor burns in a stable way while maintaining good thrust, Dan Palmeter, a business development official with Phantom Works, added in the same interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the Army modernizes its long-range precision fires to include adding the Extended Range Cannon Artillery weapon to its inventory, ramjet technology could be a way to solve the problem of wearing out the gun tube. Current munitions in a longer tube are wearing the cannons out earlier. The ramjet projectile doesn\u2019t require the breach pressure in the cannon that a regular projectile does, explained Palmeter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The development program with the Army has two years left, Palmeter and Altobelli said. The program will culminate with a guided flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also among those companies working on ramjet technology for the U.S. government is Raytheon Technologies, which is partnered with the Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research to design the engine. Northrop Grumman has also completed testing of ramjet technology as part of the XM1155 program.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boeing and Nammo have jointly test-fired a Ramjet
