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 ...
An Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW) carried by a B-52 bomber. Scramjet-powered hypersonic cruise missile. Comparison of Ballistic Missile and Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (C-HGB) Flight Trajectories for the LRHW Program. A hypersonic weapon is a weapon capable of travelling at hypersonic speed, defined as between 5 and 25 times the speed ...
On 28 June 2024 DoD announced a successful recent end-to-end test of the US Army's Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon all-up round (AUR) and the US Navy's Conventional Prompt Strike. The missile was launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility, Kauai, Hawaii, [12] landing more than 2000 miles away in the Marshall Islands. [6]
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]
Hypersonic missiles typically launch a warhead that travels at more than five times the speed of sound or about 6,200 km per hour (3,850 mph), often manoeuvring at rel ... The United States, China ...
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 a fifth-generation fighter. [2][3] The missile was unveiled in April 2024 at the Navy ...
The Boeing X-51 Waverider is an unmanned research scramjet experimental aircraft for hypersonic flight at Mach 5 (3,300 mph; 5,300 km/h) and an altitude of 70,000 feet (21,000 m). The aircraft was designated X-51 in 2005. It completed its first powered hypersonic flight on 26 May 2010. After two unsuccessful test flights, the X-51 completed a ...
Missiles/warheads Subsonic [0–0.8) <614 mph (988 km/h; 274 m/s) Most often propeller-driven and commercial turbofan aircraft with high-aspect-ratio (slender) wings, and rounded features like the nose and leading edges. The subsonic speed range is that range of speeds within which, all of the airflow over an aircraft is less than Mach 1.
