Greyback thiab Growler
Tsuas yog qhov kev tshaj tawm ntawm Regulus II missile los ntawm Greyback aircraft carrier, Lub Yim Hli 18, 1958. National Archives
Thaum Lub Rau Hli 1953, Tebchaws Meskas Lub Tsev Haujlwm Saib Xyuas Kev Tiv Thaiv tau kos npe rau daim ntawv cog lus nrog Chance Vought los tsim lub foob pob hluav taws uas tuaj yeem nqa lub taub hau thermonuclear tshaj 1600 km ntawm qhov nrawm nrawm. Nrog rau qhov pib ntawm kev tsim ntawm lub neej yav tom ntej Regulus II foob pob hluav taws, US Navy tau pib ua cov kev tshawb fawb txog nws cov neeg nqa dej hauv qab.
Qhov pib ntawm kev ua haujlwm ntawm lub nkoj nkoj nkoj rau US Navy hnub rov qab mus rau thawj ib nrab ntawm 40s. Ntshav kev sib ntaus sib tua rau cov Islands tuaj tshiab hauv Pacific tau ua rau US Navy pib kawm xov tooj cua tswj tsis muaj neeg tsav dav hlau tsim los rhuav tshem cov hom phiaj tiv thaiv hnyav hauv av. Qhov kev ua haujlwm no tau nce siab nyob rau lub sijhawm thib ob ntawm xyoo 1944, thaum seem ntawm German Fieseler Fi 103 cov foob pob ya (feem ntau hu ua V-1) tau muab rau cov neeg Asmeskas. Thaum kawg ntawm lub xyoo, German invention tau luam thiab muab tso rau hauv loj ntau lawm nyob rau hauv lub npe JB-2. Thaum pib, nws tau npaj los tsim 1000 daim ntawv ib hlis, uas thaum kawg yuav tsum tau siv tawm tsam cov Islands tuaj ntawm Nyij Pooj. Vim qhov kawg ntawm kev ua tsov ua rog nyob rau sab hnub tuaj, qhov no tsis tau tshwm sim, thiab cov foob pob hluav taws xa tau siv rau hauv ntau qhov kev sim thiab sim. Cov kev tshawb fawb no, codenamed Loon, koom nrog, ntawm lwm yam, sim ntau yam kev taw qhia, los yog muaj peev xwm siv missiles los ntawm decks ntawm submarines.
Nrog rau kev tshwm sim ntawm riam phom nuclear, US Navy pom lub peev xwm ntawm kev sib txuas cov foob pob atomic nrog cov pov thawj tawm tsam. Kev siv hom tshiab ntawm lub taub hau ua rau nws muaj peev xwm tso tseg qhov kev taw qhia tas li ntawm lub foob pob hluav taws los ntawm cov dav hlau los yog nkoj, uas yog qhov tsim nyog kom ua tiav qhov tseeb txaus. Txhawm rau coj cov cuaj luaj mus rau lub hom phiaj, ib qho yooj yim kev taw qhia raws li ib tug gyroscopic autopilot yuav siv tau, thiab qhov teeb meem ntawm hit raug raug daws los ntawm kev siv lub nuclear warhead. Qhov teeb meem yog qhov loj thiab qhov hnyav ntawm qhov tom kawg, uas tau yuam kom ib qho kev pab cuam los tsim cov foob pob hluav taws ntau dua nrog ntau qhov ntev thiab cov khoom siv sib xws. Thaum Lub Yim Hli 1947, qhov project tau txais kev xaiv SSM-N-8 thiab lub npe Regulus, thiab nws qhov kev siv tau raug tso siab rau Chance Vought, uas, ntawm nws tus kheej txoj kev pib, tau ua haujlwm hauv cov lus qhia no txij thaum Lub Kaum Hli 1943. tag nrho qhov project.
Regulus program
Kev ua haujlwm tau ua rau kev tsim cov qauv zoo li lub dav hlau nrog lub fuselage puag ncig nrog lub hauv paus cua nkag mus rau hauv lub cav thiab 40 ° wingspan. Phaj plumage thiab ib lub rudder me me tau siv. Nyob rau hauv lub fuselage muaj chaw rau ib tug warhead nrog ib tug siab tshaj plaws hnyav ntawm 1400 kg (nuclear Mk5 los yog thermonuclear W27), tom qab uas yog lub steering system thiab cov pov thawj Allison J33-A-18 dav hlau cav nrog ib tug thrust ntawm 20,45 kN. Lub community launch yog muab los ntawm 2 Aerojet General foob pob ua ntxaij cav nrog tag nrho cov thrust ntawm 293 kN. Kev cob qhia foob pob hluav taws tau nruab nrog cov khoom siv rov qab los, uas ua rau nws tuaj yeem tso rau hauv tshav dav hlau thiab rov siv dua.
Lub xov tooj cua hais kom ua haujlwm tau siv, ua ke nrog gyroscopic autopilot. Ib qho tshwj xeeb ntawm lub kaw lus yog qhov muaj peev xwm tswj tau lub foob pob hluav taws los ntawm lwm lub nkoj uas muaj cov cuab yeej tsim nyog. Qhov no ua rau nws muaj peev xwm tswj tau lub foob pob hluav taws thoob plaws hauv lub davhlau. Qhov no tau raug lees paub ntau zaus hauv xyoo tom ntej.
hauv kev xyaum, incl. Thaum lub Kaum Ib Hlis 19, 1957. Lub foob pob hluav taws, raug rho tawm los ntawm lub lawj ntawm lub nkoj hnyav Helena (CA 75), tau npog qhov deb ntawm 112 nautical mais, tau txais los ntawm Tusk submarine (SS 426), uas tau tswj hwm rau. cov nram qab no 70 nautical mais thaum Twin Carbonero (AGSS) tau tswj hwm ntawm 337) - qhov kev tsav no coj Regulus hla dhau 90 nautical mais mus txog nws lub hom phiaj. Lub missile npog tag nrho ntawm 272 nautical mais thiab ntaus lub hom phiaj ntawm qhov deb ntawm 137 meters.
