Kinetic energy bombardment is the new threat in the military world

X-37B is a small size space-shuttle, what is a very mysterious creature in the skies. The shuttle itself offers a platform for modular systems, and one of the most feared military solutions is the so-called kinetic energy missiles. Those missiles can installed in X-37B very easily, and the shuttles manipulator hand can be used to operate that thing. The system could be actually the rocket drum, what is normally installed to helicopter or aircraft, and those rockets can equip with concrete profiles, what would keep them shapes in extreme heat, what causes the rocket hits the atmosphere, and the resistance of the atmosphere would heat that projectile in very high temperature. 

This kind of solutions bases everyday technology, what would put in the new environment. The kinetic-energy bomber should not actually be a big size or complicated system. And sometimes "Mercury" capsule is actually the early version of the kinetic energy bomber. That system could be simple like the flying rocket mortar, what would shoot the rockets very sharply in some targets. In the Soviet "Almaz" program was planned to install 20-30 mm. aircraft cannons in the spacecraft. That ammunition would equip with the ceramic nucleus. And that would allow making even the river on the ground. 

There have been stories of the United States giant kinetic energy bombardment system, what was called "Project Thor". Many times there were claiming, that "Thor" was railgun or electromagnetic gun, what is installed in some satellite.  But in the real life that electromagnetic system would not be necessary, and many times I have thought that this system would be the giant airgun. Those pressure base space-cannons are actually similar that the cannons, what is used in the normal combat situations, and they can be very effective. 

The ammunition, what would be metal tungsten, will shoot to target by pressure, what is made by burning hydrogen and oxygen in the combustion chamber, and if the same force would be targeted to opposite direction, would that keep the satellite in the direct position. Sometimes the weapon like "Thor" is suitable for making channels in the dry areas, and that's why it should be classified as the mining equipment. The United Nations have prohibited those weapons, but the nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass destruction are also prohibited. The contracts prohibit the MIRV or multi-warhead missiles. And any nuclear state is going to limit their arsenals, and the development of the new nuclear missiles is going on.

The combat spacecraft are quite easy to produce

There are many ways to make realistic combat spacecraft and the governments of the USA, Russia, and China might have many versions of those things, what seems like some Science Fiction stuff. One of the most realistic versions of making "killer satellite"is used as a "Mercury"-type spacecraft, what is filled with plastic explosives. The nose of the spacecraft must be weaker than another layer, and then the explosives just break the core of the spacecraft, and at the front of the explosives might be steel balls, what would travel to the target with extremely high speed.


The problem with that device is actually the debris, what would close the trajectory from all satellites. This is why the military space systems are not allowed to test in space. And that's why there is created the anti-satellite weapons, what uses microwaves to destroying the targeted satellites. Microwave would be unseen, and the target would not break in the pieces, what can cause dangerous debris.

One version of this weapon, what would base the existing technology of this thing could be manned or unmanned  " Mercury"-type spacecraft, what would be equipped with the microwave burst weapon. The principle of this killer satellite is similar to high power microwave bomb, what is dropped from conventional bombers, and that weapon could damage electronics and other equipment in the very sharp area.


This system works that high-explosive material would give pressure to the battery, what is inside that weapon. And after that, the high voltage electricity would be conducted to the microwave transmitter what is at the nose of this weapon. If this technology would be used with killer satellites, they would take off the enemy's space systems without radioactive fallout, and if that system uses microwaves, there would not be debris in that trajectory.


This system would be a single shot version of killer satellites, but it can be very effective and realistic version of the killer satellites. In this case, the ground control would drive this system near the targeted satellite, and then shoot it with microwave. It could also be used against attacking missiles, and at least couple of them would be damaged if the raising missile would get hit by high power EMP-weapon, what could damage the targeting systems of the warheads.
