Oh Safran's partner.Shocker. Bet instead of building a supply chain they just give up.

Albany Engineered Composites to Support US Army Hypersonic Development
The US Army has awarded Albany Engineered Composites a $4 million contract to support the service’s hypersonic development.
Large scale solid rocket motor supply chain is very small. The advent of GBSD should change it. The difficulty is most likely in low solid rocket propellant production.Shocker. Bet instead of building a supply chain they just give up.

Where does it say that?The House Armed Services strategic forces subcommittee is proposing legislation for the fiscal year 2024 defense policy bill that would require the Navy to brief Congress on the potential to tweaking the Mk41 launch system to accommodate 34-inch diameter rockets, such as the two-stage booster designed for the Conventional Prompt Strike hypersonic strike weapon.
LM new "Growth VLS" is a perfect fit for the requirements
Would be a stumpy missile. (Unless they were going to expand the Mk41 system to accept larger/longer cells.)Where does it say that?The House Armed Services strategic forces subcommittee is proposing legislation for the fiscal year 2024 defense policy bill that would require the Navy to brief Congress on the potential to tweaking the Mk41 launch system to accommodate 34-inch diameter rockets, such as the two-stage booster designed for the Conventional Prompt Strike hypersonic strike weapon.

And how? Replace 4 slots with one big one?

I think the MALD is about adding additional capability beyond strike..so provide a decoy payload as GFE and have it integrated into the vehicle. Interesting. Also considering that this came out after the Navy's HALO became public and was added as a formal Navy effort (funded in the FYDP), and the OSD seems to want to take a different, accelerated approach with being inside the acquisition cycle of something like HALO being a major consideration.
Interest that they want multiple speed options and compared it to MALD.
"The weapons system being sought is expected to sustain speeds higher than Mach 4.0, and have a minimum range of 350 nautical miles (648.2 km). This system is expected to support an internal payload of 150 lb (158.76 kg) in weight, have a length less than 15 ft (4.57 m), and an overall system mass less than 2000 lb (907.18 kg). In addition, an ability to fly at a wide range of speeds is required. Multiple propulsion technologies might be employed to meet these requirements, and may include (but are not limited to) advanced turbine technologies, solid and liquid airbreathing ramjets or scramjets, rotating detonation engines, or novel hybrid technologies. For this SBIR topic, a high-speed compliment or augmentation of the Navy’s Miniature Air Launched Decoy (MALD) weapons system is desired."
