 The U.S. conducted a test of a hypersonic missile. The U.S. Air Force conducted a test of a hypersonic missile prototype as part of the ARRW program. Defense News published information about this with reference to the American servicemen. According to the information, the shot of a B-52H bomber was a full prototype operational hypersonic missile and the test focused on the ARRW's end-to-end performance. The Air Force said, a term that encompasses the captive carry of the missile, firing its ATA CMS booster, release of the hypersonic glide vehicle and receiving telemetry from it. Lockheed Martin is the prime contractor for ARRW. The Air Force gained valuable new insights into the capabilities of this new cutting-edge technology. The service said, but a spokeswoman for the 96th Test Wing declined to say whether the missile struck its intended target. The service would also not say what was expected from the test and could not immediately say if the test marked the last for the ARRW, which has had a patchy record. While we won't discuss specific test objectives, this test acquired valuable unique data and was intended to further a range of programs, such as ARRW and HACM, the hypersonic attack cruise missile now in development, the spokesperson said. We also validated and improved our test and evaluation capabilities for continued development of the advanced hypersonic systems, she said. It should be noted that in March of this year, the US conducted a test of the AGM-183A hypersonic missile and the test was unsuccessful.
