A missile capable of fitting in the launch tube of an Ohio-class ballistic missile submarine flew over 2,000 nautical miles from Hawaii to the Marshall Islands at hypersonic speeds. [24] The Common-Hypersonic Glide Body was tested in March 2020. [11] [12] LRHW subsystems were tested at Project Convergence 2022 (PC22). [25] [26]
Chinese DF-ZF hypersonic glide vehicle mounted on the DF-17 ballistic missile. DF-ZF (developed and deployed) / Mach 5–10 [5] GDF-600 (concept) In addition to a unified payload the Guangdong Aerodynamic Research Academy claims to be exploring fitting the conceptual weapon with various submunitions including what it calls a patrol projectile.

The Silbervogel was the first design for a hypersonic weapon and was developed by German scientists in the 1930s, but was never constructed. [6]The ASALM (Advanced Strategic Air-Launched Missile) was a medium-range strategic missile program developed in the late 1970s for the United States Air Force; the missile's development reached the stage of propulsion-system testing, test-flown to Mach 5 ...
Successful test launch of the Common-Hypersonic Glide Body (C-HGB) in March 2020 from Kauai, Hawaii. Both the Navy and Army plan to deploy hypersonic weapons based on C-HGB.
This hypersonic glide vehicle (also known as Objekt 4202)—it hitches a ride on a conventional ballistic missile, then detaches to “glide” at hypersonic speeds toward its target—is a new ...
The US has signalled its intention not to press ahead with the purchase of a hypersonic missile system following problems during testing. It comes just weeks after Russia unleashed a wave of air ...
The Army and Navy's Common Hypersonic Glide Body (C-HGB) had a successful test of a prototype in March 2020. [100] [98] A wind tunnel for testing hypersonic vehicles was completed in Texas (2021). [101] The Army's Land-based Hypersonic Missile "is intended to have a range of 2,300 km (1,400 mi)".
The Army has been designing the Common-Hypersonic Glide Body, which will be used by all U.S. services.
