DARPA Reveals Successful Hypersonic Cruise Missile Flight Test Has Occurred
An air-breathing hypersonic cruise missile demonstrator built by Raytheon and Northrop Grumman has successfully completed its first free flight test.
Tactical Technology Office Program Manager Andrew "Tippy" Knoedler said the HAWC free flight test demonstrated the characteristics that will make hypersonic cruise missiles an effective asset for our warfighters.
HACM is one of several air-launched, air-breathing hypersonic weapon programmes, as well as hypersonic aircraft projects, that the Air Force is currently developing.
The US military, as well as a significant number of lawmakers, view hypersonic weapons as critical to sustaining America's military edge in future confrontations.
