Meant to replace the Tomahawk missile platform with a cost reduction of about $500,000 each, so less then $1 million each in production, the VSFR is an alternative hypersonic missile platform that is ultra deadly and ultra efficient, able to strike anywhere at any time delivering massive kinetic energy and explosive detonation simultaneously.

It requires no booster to air launch, since it is a U-TBCC propulsion platform. Which means the turbine will accelerate the platform to supersonic velocities, then transition to dual mode ramjet/scramjet propulsion. Hydrogen fueled, the weight of this platform is very light, at 140" length similar to the X-51, overall weight is only around 700 LBS while the X-51 was apx 1,226 LBS.

VSFR is a long range platform, non launch detectable, to replace tomahawk cruise missiles, and also provide the capability of not being detectable during flight.

Designed around a 200 LBS weapons package, that can also be replaced with weight instead and used as a Kinetic Impact Weapon.

At Impact, 700 LBS Platform x Mach 8 Velocity = 5,600 LBS kinetic energy, or similar to 3 2,000 LBS JDAM's bombs. At the lower cruise speed of Mach 6, for longer ranger, similar to 2 2,000 LBS JDAM's.
