The speed with which threats change and evolve demands weapon systems which allow users to add or change effectors in response. RIwP represents a step change in weapon systems technology - come and see us and we’ll show you how….
The Moog Reconfigurable Integrated-weapons Platform (RIwP) will be showcased at #AUSA2024 in both the Moog booth (1051), as well as in our teammate, General Dynamics Land Systems' (GDLS) booth (703). We are thrilled to announce that across the two booths, #RIwP will feature five distinct weapon configurations over the three-day show, demonstrating RIwP’s multi-mission capabilities.

Application feature: G-Suit Simulation
Military aircraft flight simulators often require g-suit simulation to recreate the gravitational force equivalent (“g-force”) experienced while flying. Accessed with a computer or PLC, a Proportion-Air electronic closed-loop proportional regulator can rapidly inflate and deflate the pneumatic bladders on the g-suit.
Pressures required in this application are very low and high repeatability is important. Proportion-Air’s electronic regulators, such as the QB2 used here, can achieve these low pressures. An analog output showing the bladder’s controlled pressure for data acquisition is available from the regulator.
DASA has launched a new Themed Competition: Innovation in Support of Operations that industry partners in my network maybe interested in.
Challenge 2: Autonomous system navigation and applique options. DASA are seeking ways to make legacy ground vehicles operate with basic autonomy. DASA are also seeking new UAS navigation solutions that can interface with industry standard architecture.
Challenge 3: Wide-area sense and detect
We are looking for reduced cost, low probability of intercept, wide-area sense and detect including (but not limited to) air search (including passive) and the function of 3D counter-battery radar.
Challenge 4: Innovative solutions for minefield breaching. DASA are seeking innovative methods to effect a breach of conventional, deep, extensive and heavily protected minefields quickly, cheaply, and with sufficient regard for personnel protection.

Here's a summary of the differences and a comparison of their speeds:
*Turbojet:*
- Uses a turbine and compressor
- Efficient at subsonic and transonic speeds (up to Mach 1.6)
- Typical speed range: 0 - Mach 1.6
- Examples: Commercial airliners, business jets, and military fighters
*Ramjet:*
- No turbine or compressor; relies on vehicle speed to compress air
- Efficient at supersonic speeds (Mach 1.6 - Mach 5)
- Typical speed range: Mach 1.6 - Mach 5
- Examples: Military missiles, some experimental aircraft
*Scramjet (Supersonic Combustion Ramjet):*
- Similar to ramjet, but operates at hypersonic speeds (Mach 5+)
- Efficient at hypersonic speeds (Mach 5 - Mach 20+)
- Typical speed range: Mach 5 - Mach 20+
- Examples: Experimental aircraft, space vehicles, and some military projects
*Speed Comparison:*
- Turbojet: up to Mach 1.6 (around 1,200 mph or 1,931 km/h)
- Ramjet: up to Mach 5 (around 3,800 mph or 6,116 km/h)
- Scramjet: up to Mach 20+ (around 12,000 mph or 19,312 km/h)
*Fastest Engine:*
- Scramjet is the fastest engine, capable of reaching hypersonic speeds above Mach 20.
Note that scramjets are still in the experimental phase, and significant technical challenges must be overcome before they can be widely used. However, they offer immense potential for future high-speed flight applications.
