Australia’s new guided weapon and space launch safety analysis capability at international conference
Australia’s Range Safety Template Toolkit (RSTT) was presented to the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics Atmospheric Flight Mechanics Conference and Exhibit in Honolulu, Hawaii. The conference paper provided a comprehensive update on RSTT development, current capabilities and future intentions.
RSTT is being developed by the Australian Defence Science & Technology Organisation in collaboration with Aerospace Concepts Pty Ltd and other industry partners to support a diverse range of guided weapons in Australian service. RSTT now supports the Advanced Short-Range Air-to-Air Missile (ASRAAM) carried by the F/A-18 Hornet and will support the AGM-158 Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile (JASSM) when it enters Australian service in the near future. Support for other guided weapons will be incorporated in due course.
RSTT capability has recently been expanded to support the DSTO-led HIFiRE joint US / Australia collaborative hypersonic flight research program involving a series of suborbital space launches and hypersonic controlled flight from Woomera, South Australia.
