The ASN4G (Air-Sol Nucléaire de 4ème Génération) is a French nuclear-armed, scramjet-powered, air-launched hypersonic cruise missile under development by MBDA France, assisted by the ONERA. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] It is intended to succeed the ASMP in the pre-strategic deterrence role from 2035 onwards.

The ASN4G air-launched hypersonic cruise missile, under development as of 2014, is expected to succeed the ASMP from 2035 onwards.

Dec 27, 2024 · The ASN4G is expected to achieve speeds between Mach 6 and Mach 7, significantly surpassing the ASMPA's capabilities. This speed, coupled with advanced maneuverability, will enable the missile to evade radar detection and interception by sophisticated air defense systems.

L'ASN4G (Air-Sol Nucléaire de 4ème Génération) est un programme de missile nucléaire à statoréacteur hypersonique français, en cours de développement. Deux Plans d’études amont (PEA) ont été lancés.

Dec 26, 2024 · Le futur missile ASN4G promet de révolutionner la dissuasion française grâce à un ensemble d'innovations inédites. Ce missile sera doté de capacités hypersoniques, le rendant capable d'atteindre des vitesses dépassant Mach 5 (voire Mach 6 ou 7 selon certaines sources, soit entre 6000 et 8500 km/h).

Dec 27, 2024 · ASN4G stands for Air-Sol Nucléaire 4th Generation, fourth generation nuclear air-to-ground missile. This hypersonic missile will be the end goal of a long journey. Since the Cold War, airborne nuclear missiles have played a central role in deterrence strategy.

Jan 10, 2025 · The inclined X-shaped all-turn tail with large camber angles (about 120 degrees) provides the ASN4G rocket with a noticeable decrease in the effective reflective surface, which, together with the widespread use of radio—absorbing materials, brings …
