(Courtesy file photo (2009)) Department of Defense unveils hypersonics development plan By Department of Defense News WASHINGTON, D.C. The Defense Department has identified hypersonics as one of the highest priority modernization areas, as Russia and China develop their own capable systems. Hypersonic systems are able to travel on extended flights within the upper atmosphere – 80,000 to 200,000 feet – at speeds near and above Mach 5, and they’re able to maneuver in ways that are hard for defenders to predict. The high-altitude range creates a gap between air defenses and ballistic missile defenses, said Mike White, principal director for hypersonics in the office of the undersecretary of defense for research and engineering.

Air Force Prepares Latest Hypersonic Missile Test Amid Arms Race With China, Russia On 3/8/21 at 3:57 AM EST The U.S. Air Force is set to conduct the first flight test in its hypersonic missile project within the next 30 days, as the Pentagon pushes ahead with its research into the next-generation weapons. The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center s Armament Directorate issued a statement on Friday noting that the first booster test flight (BTF-1) of the AGM-183A Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon known as ARRW will take place within a month, following unexplained delays. The test had been due to happen last week, and before that was scheduled for some time in December 2020. The Air Force did not say specifically why the launch had been repeatedly pushed back, though cited technical findings and the COVID-19 pandemic as factors.
