Lockheed Martin opens center for interceptor missile technology
// Military Space News, Nuclear Weapons, Missile Defense
Sunnyvale, Calif. (UPI) Apr 30, 2015
A laboratory has been opened in California by Lockheed Martin to develop next-generation target seekers for interceptor missiles. A seeker, no bigger than a loaf of bread, is the part of the interceptor that directly strikes an incoming missile. It locates and tracks the enemy warhead, sending trajectory data to an interceptor's onboard guidance system, which in turn steers the kill veh

Nuevo híbrido UAV+Submarino de DARPA o Submarinos que vuelan (IV)
// Blog.SandglassPatrol.com
Como en el cine, algunas entradas del blog podría organizarlas en sagas. Con esta continuamos la de Submarinos que vuelan.
Un submarino y un avión nunca van a dar un buen híbrido. Responden a requerimientos totalmente opuestos. Las estructuras de los aviones son todo lo ligeras que es posible para poder volar sin gran coste de combustible. Y si van presurizados, tienen que aguantar una presión interna que es mayor que la externa. Un submarino está diseñado para soportar mucha presión, desde el exterior. Y que el agua sea unas mil veces más densa que el aire (aprox 1kg el litro, frente a algo más de un kilo cada mil litros) hace que el casco resistente del submarino sea MUY grueso, y por tanto muy pesado. Con todo esto, ¿por qué alguien se empeñaría en tener un submarino que vuela? Pues porque volando se llega mucho más rápido a los sitios. Así que el laboratorio de investigación naval de la marina estadounidense (NRL) ha estado probando un submarino con alas de diseño propio, lo han llamado flimmer por flying swimmer, o nadador volador.

Airbus y Daher abrirán una fábrica de aviones eléctricos
// Blog.SandglassPatrol.com
El año pasado por estas fechas Airbus decía que para 2017 comercializaría su E-fan, y van camino de ello. Ayer Airbus hizo público que junto con su socio en el E-fan, Daher, instalará una fábrica en Pau, al sur de Francia. La ubicación ha sido escogida por su cercanía a Daher, y por la buena meteo reinante en la zona, además de tener acceso fácil al aeródromo de la zona.
Airbus invertirá 20 millones de euros en el E-fan, y espera comercializar el E-fan 2.0 para final de 2017 o 2018. Este biplaza irá destinado al mercado de las escuelas de vuelo, e irá seguido por el desarrollo y comercialización del E-fan 4.0, cuatriplaza, y equipado tal vez con los nuevos motores de Siemens, capaces de dar más de 350CV con tan solo 50kg de peso.
