US military's Rapid Dragon palletized weapon:Application and countermeasures
Developing combat concept is a critical way for the US military to design future warfare and generate combat capabilities.The combat concept of the US military's Rapid Dragon palletized weapon is analyzed,and the new modes of battle and new threats arising from it are presented,using such methods as case study,performance analysis,and anticipation of application,to provide references for designing countermeasures.Featuring high penetration,high stealth performance and high missile density,the Rapid Dragon palletized weapon is capable of long-distance delivery and precise strike.In the future,this type of weapon,a significant part of the inbuilt advanced kill-chain,can be applied on the battlefield repeatedly to execute dangerous tasks such as the stand-off invisible strike,long-range penetration,saturation attack,blanketing jamming and in-depth occupation.
