「擊殺」導彈揭開神秘面紗：洛克希德·馬丁公司的“CUDA”
洛克希德·馬丁公司為了F-35而準備的新玩具：號稱有AIM-120級的射程而大小只是小直徑炸彈級！顯然是專為F-35這一直被批評彈艙不能放太多格鬥彈、中程主動彈而作出的回應。彈體小而射程遠看似很完美，但實際上是以放棄爆破片的戰鬥部而改採用動力攻擊彈頭而換來，因此命中率如何仍是一個問號 {:23:} 當然某些盲目支持者一定又會大聲叫好，高唱美國科技又領先三十年 ;P

Original Title: New (still quite secret) Hit-to-Kill missile for the F-35 unveiled: the Lockheed Martin “Cuda”
Until a photo with an interesting caption appeared on the November 2012 issue of Air Force Magazine, few people had noticed that an F-35 display model at the Air Force Association Technology Expo 2012, had its weapon bays loaded with a brand new type of air-to-air missile: the Lockheed Martin “Cuda”.
“A Lockheed Martin model shows how its “’Cuda” concept for a small AMRAAM-class radar guided dogfight missile could triple the air-to-air internal loadout on an F-35. The missile is about the size of a Small Diameter Bomb and fits on an SDB-style rack.”
Photo caption aside, almost nothing is known about the “Cuda” missile.
“We are having some challenges getting information on Cuda cleared for public release,” Cheryl Amerine, Cuda POC at the Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control, told The Aviationist.
“Cuda is a Lockheed Martin multi-role Hit-to-Kill (HTK) missile concept. Lockheed Martin has discussed the missile concept with the United States Air Force. The Cuda concept significantly increases the internal carriage capacity for 5th generation fighters (provides 2X to 3X capacity). Combat proven HTK technology has been in the US Army for over a decade. Bringing this proven HTK technology to the USAF will provide potentially transformational new capabilities and options for new CONOPS.”
The Hit-to-Kill missile technology Lockheed is designing for the USAF is still classified and some of the capabilities of the Cuda missile are being reviewed for public release. Still, something can be said based on the few details available.
First of all, the F-35 will carry kinetic energy interceptors: “hit-to-kill” weapons rely on the kinetic energy of the impact to destroy their target. That’s why some HTK missiles don’t carry any warhead (others use a lethality enhancer warhead).

HTK technologies can be used for missile defense (Scuds, rockets or even ballistic missiles). Is someone at the Pentagon studying the possibilty to use F-35s carrying clusters of Cudas as aerial anti-missile systems to intercept small rockets, SAMs (surface-to-air missiles)?
Second, that unlike Sidewinders, Cuda missiles, rather than being equipped with an IIR (Imaging Infra Red) seeker, will be radar-guided. This means they will be ejected from the internal bays in such a way the exposure of the stealth plane is reduced.
Third, the possible integration of the Cuda with the F-22: since a Raptor can carry eight SDB, it can theoretically carry up to eight Cuda, even if the perfect air-to-air loadout could be mix of AIM-120 AMRAAM, AIM-9X and Cuda missiles....<div class='locked'><em>瀏覽完整內容，請先 <a href='member.php?mod=register'>註冊</a> 或 <a href='javascript:;' onclick="lsSubmit()">登入會員</a></em></div><div></div> 這戰機本身就很不給力 彈倉不大 如果是b/c型彈倉會更小 還有這戰機航程並不是很遠 還有很多問題 不知老美給日本食了什麼.用300億去買這問題貨.根本是浪費,就算是要買它的技術.300億也太貴了吧,你大日本有很多錢嗎? 反正不打仗，買著玩玩，無所謂好和壞，有彈倉有彈掛就可以了，大家都是紙老虎。起碼比T50都飛了一兩年了，連彈倉都不知道有沒有的好，有展示就有戰力，哈哈。 yastern 發表於 2012-12-4 08:46 PM static/image/common/back.gif
這戰機本身就很不給力 彈倉不大 如果是b/c型彈倉會更小 還有這戰機航程並不是很遠 還有很多問題 ...
F-35系列中，艦載的C型體積是最大的
所以C型的彈倉估計不會比A/B型的小
PS C型的油箱比F-22還大<br><br><br><br><br><div></div>
