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 target.
On 28 June 2024, the 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, [13] landing more than 2000 miles away in the Marshall Islands. [7]
Comparison of Ballistic Missile and Hypersonic Glide Vehicle (C-HGB) Flight Trajectories for the LRHW Program Scramjet-powered hypersonic cruise missile. A hypersonic weapon is a weapon capable of travelling at hypersonic speed, defined as above Mach 5, or above 5 times the speed of sound. [1]
Previously, in June of 2022, the Navy’s test launch of a complete ‘all-up’ CPS missile, known as Joint Flight Campaign-1, failed before it even had a chance to release its hypersonic glider.
The test flight of a U.S. hypersonic missile came to a sudden halt when controllers paused the launch at Florida’s Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. ... 800-290-4726 more ways to reach us.
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]
Saturday's successful test of the missile system raises the stakes for rivals RTX and Lockheed Martin - Pentagon weapons contractors vying for billions of funds to build hypersonic weapons.
Built by Raytheon and Northrop Grumman, HAWC is the first US scramjet-powered hypersonic missile to successfully complete a free flight test in the 2020s. [ 226 ] [ 133 ] [ 134 ] [ 227 ] [ 102 ] DARPA's goals for the test, which were successfully met, were: "vehicle integration and release sequence, safe separation from the launch aircraft ...
