Lockheed Martin AGM-183 Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW)

I posted this on X on May 7 (the budget docs have been out for weeks) because I try to review most J books and budget docs of importance within the first month of them coming out and found the reference to the seeker, not in the USAF docs, but in the PDI docs and thought it was worth sharing. TWZ ran it as an "article" yesterday. Five day lag on a scrape. TWZ's Deputy editor of social medial OSINT seems to be moving at peacetime speed. Hoping he is better at conflict resolution than this reporting stuff.

350mil for adding seeker and datalink to ARRW and developing an ABM? :D

I'm not sure they can establish a program office for 350mil!
 
Do you have a copy of that document?

It appears to be an environmental impact statement on the damage ARRW produces on impact (surmised from the sea turtle comment).

Expected to be smaller than MMIII RV impact crater - hey we test those here we’re safe to test ARRW here - but how much smaller?
 
Has anyone ever come across material (PDFs etc) on the ARRW booster?

Not really on topic, but my brain isn't finding the right spot to put this:

One of the old STRATCOM heads was on record that Trident was regularly putting the target point inside the impact crater. Which would put the CEP down into the ~10m class. (Assuming W87 off Minuteman carrying broadly the same KE is W88 off Trident)
