Lockheed Martin: successful hypersonic weapon test
(CercleFinance.com) - Lockheed Martin has announced that it has successfully conducted a flight test of a hypersonic weapon (ARRW) launched from a B-52H Stratofortress with the US Air Force.
The flight demonstrated the weapon's ability to reach and withstand operational hypersonic speeds, collect critical data and target designated targets at significant stand-off distances.
The need for hypersonic strike capabilities is critical to the US and this successful test will help the group maintain an accelerated and rigorous schedule, it said.
Hypersonic weapons provide a rapid and critical response capability to overcome distance in contested environments using ultra high speed, altitude and maneuverability.
