The Air Force wants to invest in state-of-the art, long-range weapons that are better-suited for operations in the Pacific. To do so, the service's 2022 budget cuts spending on the kinds of bombs it used to fight terrorist groups like ISIS. The Air Force will buy fewer Joint Direct Attack Munitions, or JDAMs; Hellfire missiles; and small-diameter bombs as it prepares to invest in state-of-the art, long-range weapons that are better-suited for operations in the Pacific, according to its fiscal 2022 budget request. The service has requested $161 million to buy an initial production of 12 Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon, or ARRW (pronounced "Arrow"), hypersonic weapons to move it out of the research and development phase.
