Lockheed Martin Demonstrates Penetrator Performance During Final RATTLRS Sled Tests
The supersonic RATTLRS penetrator warhead has successfully completed sled tests. During the tests, the RATTLRS airframe was slammed into concrete targets at a sled track in New Mexico at supersonic speeds of greater than Mach 2.
The warhead penetrated cleanly and completely through the concrete barriers demonstrating that lightweight penetrator warheads, when coupled with high-speed vehicles, provide the penetration depth of significantly heavier penetrators.
