Warp drive underwater

Article Abstract:

An analysis of innovative underwater weapons shows that many use the process of supercavitation, which uses rapidly flowing water to form a gas bubble behind an object and then enclose the object. The weapons in development include torpedoes, missiles, bullets and surface craft.

Solid [state] progress: Hydrogen-fuel storage for cars gets a materials boost

Article Abstract:

Conventional approaches to compact hydrogen storage could attain only half the energy density needed to fit enough fuel inside something the size of a gas tank. Future hydrogen economy will require compact onboard storage as well as a nationwide distribution and refueling system.

Mach 3 Hunter-Killer: An advanced turbine design for versatile missiles

Article Abstract:

A new long-range strike weapon called the Revolutionary Approach to Time-Critical Long-Range Strike Program (RATTLRS) would tailor its flight configuration to its missions and yield a cruise missile with much greater operational flexibility. The US Navy plans to test-fly a prototype missile by the end of 2007 and deploy a RATTLRS based missile by 2015.
