B-1B / B-52 / B-21 / F-15E [4] The AGM-183 ARRW ("Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon") is [5] a hypersonic air-to-ground ballistic missile planned for use by the United States Air Force. Developed by Lockheed Martin, the boost-glide vehicle is propelled to a maximum speed of more than Mach 5 [6] by a rocket motor before gliding toward its ...
The Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC, pronounced "hawk") is a scramjet powered hypersonic air-launched cruise missile project at the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), [1] that had a successful hypersonic flight announced in September 2021. [2][3] It is a kinetic energy weapon, without an explosive warhead. [4]
Technology developed for the HAWC demonstrator was used to influence the design of the HACM, a U.S. Air Force Program of Record to create a scramjet-powered hypersonic missile it could deploy as an operational weapon. [8] In December 2021, Raytheon Technologies was awarded a $985 million contract to continue its HACM development. [9]
Currently the Air Force’s remaining hypersonic project of record is the air-breathing HACM cruise missile, which at least has potential to be more affordable and stealthy than a hypersonic glide ...
Illustration of Hypersonic Test Vehicle (HTV) 2 reentry phase. The DARPA FALCON Project (Force Application and Launch from Continental United States) was a two-part joint project between the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and the United States Air Force (USAF) and is part of Prompt Global Strike.

The U.S. Air Force successfully tested and concluded its Hypersonic Airbreathing Weapon Concept (HAWC) missile, a technology demonstrator.
Mako (missile) The Lockheed Martin Mako missile, as displayed at Sea Air Space Expo 2024. The Mako Multi-Mission Hypersonic Missile is a stand-off hypersonic missile developed by Lockheed Martin and CoAspire, specifically designed to fit in the internal weapons bay of the F-35A/C and F-22A. [1] It is the first hypersonic weapon compatible with ...
an air- or submarine-launched hypersonic cruise missile, such as a massive version of Boeing X-51 or Advanced Hypersonic Weapon; a kinetic weapon launched from an orbiting space platform; In 2010, the United States Air Force prototyped a CPS system based on a modified Minuteman III ICBM. [5]
