Haunebu-Inspired Craft: Space Force Design Proposal Summary

Prepared by SpaceLabs Advanced Research Division

This document provides an enhanced review and detailed design proposal for a Haunebu-inspired aerospace craft. The findings are based on the reverse-engineering analysis of the original crashed Haunebu recovered from classified incident sites. The objective is to present the United States Space Force with a next-generation aerospace platform capable of high-speed, high-maneuverability, and vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) operations. This platform is designed for use in orbital deployment, deep-space reconnaissance, and rapid terrestrial response.

Secondary: Fusion-Powered Ion Thrusters

For extended space operations, the craft uses fusion-powered ion thrusters. These thrusters provide continuous, low-thrust propulsion for long-duration space missions.

**System Details:**
– **Fusion Reactor**: Provides high-efficiency energy for ionization.
– **Electromagnetic Accelerators**: Expel charged ions to produce thrust.
– **Fuel**: Deuterium-Tritium mixture for sustained energy output.

3. Power Supply

The power supply system integrates advanced nuclear and fusion technologies to provide sustained energy for propulsion, systems, and defensive measures.

**Primary Power Source:**
