This is going to be a key technology going forward. I just hope we have a government that will allow hypersonic weapons to be developed and deployed.

Keeping us safe. God bless the inventors, developers, makers and US Military.

The Air Force and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, are developing a similar vehicle. Why?

I’d rather pay for this stuff than subsidizing freeloaders and liberal programs.
To: The Pack Knight
Not that I mind, but I would think this would be an Air Force weapon, not an Army one. Good job Soldiers !
To: The Pack Knight
I’m still hoping for the day when we get hypersonic airline travel (and obviously without the boom)........that will be the ultimate tech breakthrough.

Mach 5?
The last time Obama saw something move that fast, it was Larry Sinclair’s hand in his pants.

The Army did a lot of the work on early ballistic missiles because they had the German emigres working at their Huntsville arsenal. The USAF eventually got control when the missions got sorted out.

Now if the socialists in charge of our country don’t give the design to the Chicoms, we have an advantage.

I'm pretty sure it was a joint effort. The US dumps money into the R&D and we pay Chicom "consultants" to go over every inch of the project to make sure that the developers didn't violate too many environmental regulations.

A few days ago we had a thread about a new bigger badder bunker buster, too.
B-2 Bomber Gets Boeing's New 30,000-Pound Bunker-Buster Bomb

San Francisco Chronicle ^ | November 15, 2011 | Tony Capaccio
The U.S. Air Force has taken delivery of a new 30,000-pound bomb from Boeing Co. that's capable of penetrating deeply buried enemy targets. The huge bunker buster, dubbed the Massive Ordnance Penetrator, is built to fit the B-2 stealth bomber. The Air Force Global Strike Command started receiving the bombs in September, Air Force spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Jack Miller said in a short statement to Bloomberg News. The deliveries "will meet requirements for the current operational need," he said. The Air Force in 2009 said Boeing might build as many as 16 of the munitions. Miller yesterday had no details...

Too bad it was not aimed at Washington, District of Crooks.

The Air Force and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, are developing a similar vehicle. Why? The Army version is launched on top of a booster rocket. I would presume the Air Force version would be launchable from a B-52 or B-2. This would give them the ability to launch what would effectively be a ballistic missile, but without any ballistic missile launch signature.
