US Successfully Tests Hypersonic Missile - Is The US Military Destined To Be Superpower?
The United States is one step closer to catching up to Russia and China in hypersonic weapon development. The U.S. Air Force successfully tested a hypersonic missile on May 14 that was launched from a B-52H. The test took place over the Pacific Ocean near southern California. The AGM-183A Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW) had failed three previous attempts in 2021.
But this time was different as the missile was released by the B-52H and the booster ignited and burned for a period of time that was considered satisfactory by testers. The #ARRW hit MACH 5.
Troubled Program Gets Some Good News
The Air Force finally has something to brag about after having trouble with the weapon in the past. This is especially true when it came to separating from the launcher and passing the ignition phase.
Air Force Program Executive Officer for Weapons Brigadier General Heath Collins spoke optimistically in a news release. “This was a major accomplishment by the ARRW team, for the weapons enterprise, and our Air Force. The team’s tenacity, expertise, and commitment were key in overcoming the past year’s challenges to get us to the recent success. We are ready to build on what we’ve learned and continue moving hypersonics forward,” Collins said.
What Is the ARRW?
The ARRW is a stand-off, boost-glide land-attack missile that is designed to penetrate enemy air defenses by outrunning and outmaneuvering current surface-to-air interceptors. The missile can change course in flight.
The ARRW program has research and development funding for FY23, and this successful test will send a message to Congress that the project is viable. The Air Force spent $300 million on ARRW over the last two fiscal years, and it was on a do-or-die critical path to show progress.
