Boeing and Norwegian defense and aerospace company Nammo has successfully test-fired a ramjet-powered artillery projectile.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Andoya Test Center in Norway<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the June 28 test at the Andoya Test Center in Norway, a Boeing Ramjet 155 projectile was fired out of a cannon and its ramjet engine ignited successfully. It confirmed flight stability with a well-controlled engine combustion process.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We believe the Boeing Ramjet 155, with continued technology maturation and testing, can help the U.S. Army meet its long-range precision fire modernization priorities,\u201d told Steve Nordlund, Boeing Phantom Works vice president and general manager. \u201cThis successful test is evidence that we are making good progress.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a historic moment for Nammo<\/a>,\u201d said Nammo Chief Executive Officer Morten Brandtzaeg<\/a>. \u201cThe test results demonstrate that ramjets are viable and can fundamentally change the future of artillery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have great confidence in the ramjet concept,\u201d Brandtz\u00e6g said. \u201cThe test \u2013 with all aspects from cannon firing, to the projectile body, fins, and trajectory all functioning perfectly \u2013 represents a real technological breakthrough in artillery, and a major success for Boeing, Nammo, and the U.S. Army.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
