Congressional Budget Office 68 page report on "U.S. Hypersonic Weapons and Alternatives" Four main conclusions:- • Technological challenges must still be overcome to field hypersonic missiles • Both hypersonic and ballistic missiles are well-suited to operate outside potential adversaries’ •...

Well that was an air-breathing hypersonic missiles. Fairly sure hypersonic missiles in general have existed for a long time. Almost any ballistic missile with a range of 500km or more... Pershing I/II... AIM-54... Sprint.... etc. And technically the hypersonic ASALM flight was 1970s, if...

Quellish is right as usual (per his idiom). HSSW is an umbrella program for two air launched hypersonic weapon concepts: Hypersonic Air-Breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC) : Mach 6 air-breather (hydrocarbon powered scramjet) with a 500 mile range. Tactical Boost Glide (TBG): Mach 9+ with a...

I do not know if this is HSSW-related or Prompt Global Strike related, but Raytheon seems to suddenly need a lot of hypersonic experts.

Martin: Army developing command and control structures for hypersonics REDSTONE ARSENAL, AL -- The Army is evaluating how hypersonic missiles will fit within the military's command and control structures, as the service prepares to field its first battery of the Long Range Hypersonic Weapon in...

Air Force plans more ARRW testing while building air-breathing hypersonics portfolio The Air Force's armament directorate is planning more tests of its boost-glide hypersonic Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon while also looking to establish new industry partnerships to support development of...

hypersonic?

Thank you Austin! B) The article was helpful, especially the explanation of the difference between BGRV and HGV.

Don't they use Helium in hypersonic wind tunnels to simulate hypersonic conditions whilst keeping the temperature at a manageable level?

So first glider re-entry vehicle, not first hypersonic weapon. Cuz technically first hypersonic weapon would be V-2 rocket.

Well the rumour had been that Britain wanted a stealthy subsonic FC/ASW variant to enter service around 2028 while France wanted a hypersonic variant to enter service a couple of years later. News today is Britain wants to rapidly develop its own Hypersonic weapon for 2030 (though they could be...

Nobody has said the US isn't working with Australia on a hypersonics project. Just that THAT one has nothing to do with the X-51, HyFly, Falcon, etc.
