Military Tungsten Alloy Swaging Rod for SM-3 Missile

Military tungsten alloy swaging rod is made of tungsten alloy alloy. Afrter being swaged, the ultimate tensile strength of tungsten alloy rod is increased. The tensile strength of military tungsten alloy swaging rod
can reach 1200MPa, or even 1400MPa. Military tungsten alloy swaging rod is widely used for SM-3 missile.

SM-3 missile  is a ship-based missile system used by the US Navy to intercept short- to intermediate-range ballistic missiles as a part of Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System. Although primarily designed as an anti-ballistic missile missile, the SM-3 has also been employed in an anti-satellite capacity against a satellite at the lower end of low Earth orbit. The SM-3 is primarily used and tested by the United States Navy and also operated by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.

On February 14, 2008, U.S. officials announced plans to use a modified SM-3 missile launched from a group of three ships in the North Pacific to destroy the failed American satellite USA 193 at an altitude of 130 nautical miles (240 kilometers) shortly before atmospheric reentry, stating that the intention was to "reduce the danger to human beings" due to the release of toxic hydrazine fuel carried on board. A spokesperson stated that software associated with the SM-3 had been modified to enhance the chances of the missile's sensors recognizing that the satellite was its target, since the missile was not designed for ASAT operations.

With high tensile strength and high hardness of military tungsten alloy swaging rod, NOTS-EV-1 Pilot can destroy satellite easily by using kinetic energy.
