Norwegian ammunition company Nammo, in collaboration with Boeing, is making significant progress in the development of a cutting-edge projectile with an impressive range of over 140 km. This breakthrough technology utilizes ramjet engines, which leverage incoming airflow for fuel oxidation, allowing for increased fuel reserves and extended flight ranges. During recent tests in Arizona, the company achieved a new distance record, positioning them at the forefront of projectile innovation. However, challenges related to the durability of components during launch need to be addressed before serial production can commence, with an estimated timeline of three years. Despite the potential, the high cost of these advanced projectiles remains a consideration. In related news, the US recently unveiled a concept for a sixth-generation fighter jet, demonstrating ongoing advancements in military technology.
