India successfully test scramjet technology for hypersonic missiles

印度成功测试超燃冲压发动机技术，用于高超音速导弹

NEW DELHI: India on Monday successfully tested an indigenously-developed hypersonic technology demonstrator vehicle (HSTDV) powered by a scramjet engine, which will serve as a critical building block for next-generation hypersonic cruise missiles.

新德里：周一，印度成功测试了一架自主研发的高超声速技术验证器(HSTDV)，该飞行器由超燃冲压发动机驱动，将成为下一代高超声速巡航导弹的关键部件。

The HSTDV test, conducted from the Dr Abdul Kalam Island off the Odisha coast at 11.03 am to demonstrate the autonomous flight of a scramjet integrated vehicle, propelled India right into an extremely exclusive hypersonic club consisting of the US, Russia and as of now.

HSTDV测试于上午11点03分在奥里萨邦海岸的阿卜杜勒·卡拉姆博士岛进行，演示了超燃冲压发动机集成飞行器的自主飞行。目前为止，该测试使印度跻身由美国、俄罗斯和组成的高超音速俱乐部。

The three countries, of course, are leagues ahead in the race to develop aerodynamically manoeuverable hypersonic (over Mach 5 speeds) weapons that can defeat enemy missile defence systems. , in fact, flaunted its DF-17 missile with a hypersonic glide vehicle at its national military parade last year.

当然，这三个国家在开发空气动力机动高超音速(超过5马赫速度)武器的竞赛中遥遥领先，这种武器可以击败敌人的导弹防御系统。事实上，在去年的阅兵仪式上用高超音速滑翔器炫耀了“东风-17”导弹。

In the Indian test on Monday, the hypersonic `cruise vehicle sustained its scramjet-powered flight path at a velocity of six times the speed of sound (Mach 6, or nearly 2-km per second) for 22-24 seconds. It auto-ignited to fly on its own after separating from the `launch vehicle’, which took it to an altitude of 30-km. The launch vehicle, in turn, was powered by the proven solid-propellant rocket motor of an Agni ballistic missile.

在印度周一的测试中，高超音速巡航飞行器以6倍音速(6马赫，或近2公里/秒)的速度飞行了22-24秒。它在与“运载火箭”分离后自动点火自主飞行，飞至30公里的高空。运载火箭由“烈火”弹道导弹的固体推进剂火箭发动机提供动力。

“It’s a major technological breakthrough. The air-breathing scramjet engine was successfully flight-tested at hypersonic speed within the atmosphere, meeting all technical parameters. The test paves the way for development of many more critical technologies, materials and hypersonic vehicles,” said DRDO chairman Dr G Satheesh Reddy, speaking to TOI.

DRDO（印度国防研究与发展组织）主席雷迪博士对《印度时报》表示：“这是一项重大的技术突破。该喷气冲压发动机在大气中以高超音速飞行，测试成功，满足了所有技术参数。该测试为开发更多关键技术、材料和高超音速飞行器铺平了道路。”

Congratulating DRDO, PM Narendra Modi tweeted, “The scramjet engine developed by our scientists helped achieve a speed of 6 times the speed of sound! Very few countries have such capability today.”

莫迪总理在推特上向DRDO表示祝贺：“我们科学家研发的超燃冲压发动机帮助实现了6倍音速的速度!目前很少有国家具备这样的能力。”

Defence minister Rajnath Singh, in turn, said it was a “landmark achievement” towards ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’. It’s now time to progress to the next phase with “all critical technologies” being established by the successful HSTDV flight test, using the indigenously developed scramjet propulsion system, he added.

印度国防部长拉杰纳特•辛格则表示，这是迈向“自力更生”的“里程碑式的成就”。他还说，现在是时候进入下一阶段了，“所有关键技术”都将通过成功的HSTDV飞行测试建立，使用自主开发的超燃冲压发动机推进系统。

The next phase will be to develop long-range hypersonic cruise missiles, which DRDO scientists said would be possible in the next five to six years. The complex technology behind the HSTDV, the maiden launch of which had failed in June last year, also has civilian applications like low cost launching of small satellites.

下一阶段将是研发远程高超音速巡航导弹，DRDO科学家称，这将在未来五到六年内实现。去年6月的首次发射失败，HSTDV背后的复杂技术也有民用应用，比如小型卫星的低成本发射。

India, of course, still has to achieve sustained scramjet-powered hypersonic flight for a few minutes, which has been demonstrated by the US, Russia and .

当然，印度仍然需要实现持续几分钟的超音速冲压发动机驱动的高超音速飞行，美国、俄罗斯和已经实现了。

This is the difference between the Congress governments and this one. The desire to be second to none was not there earlier, in fact they were happy to play second fiddle and import everything as that was very lucrative for themselves.

这就是国大党政府和现任政府的区别。国大党政府什么都进口，因为他们有利可图。

Very next target should be to come up with BVRAAM more than 250 KMS....with SFDR technology.....And ofcourse the hypersonic version of Brahmos...

下一个目标应该是射程超过250公里的超视距空空导弹…SFDR技术……当然还有超音速版布拉莫斯导弹…

Dr MMS made DRDO a dead elephant. In last 5-6 years, the same DRDO is doing excellant job.

在辛格的领导下，DRDO变成了一头死象。但在过去的5-6年里，DRDO完成了出色的工作。

This indigenous tech places India on the high pedestal internationally for tectonic powers wanting to woo India on to their side. ..... The beggar neighbour is left high and dry far behind.

这种本土技术提高了印度的国际地位，技术强国想拉拢印度站在自己这边。我们那个乞丐邻居将被远远地抛在后面。
