Navy Secretary John Phelan says that the "speed, range and survivability of hypersonic weapons are key to integrated deterrence" for the U.S.
The Navy successfully flight tested a "conventional hypersonic missile" that was launched from the Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, Florida, according to the U.S. Defense Department on Friday.
"The test marked the first launch of the Conventional Prompt Strike capability, using the Navy's cold-gas launch approach that will be used in Navy sea-based platform hypersomics," said a news reelase from the agency.
Navy Secretary John Phelan said that the "speed, range and survivability of hypersonic weapons are key to integrated deterrence" for the U.S.
"When fielded, Conventional Prompt Strike will deliver unmatched capabilities to our warfighters," he said.

Good to hear - that only puts us 7 years behind the Russians.
When does supersonic become hypersonic?
Sugar overdosing
No HFCS in the rocket fuel.
Sugar and KNO3 make a good rocket fuel.
Not even supersonic though.
(at least not mine)
In the Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea TV series such things were said to be for the US to use against the Chinese-—a new and prescient idea for TV series in September 14, 1964, to March 31, 1968.
Mach 5. It’s when the shock wave increases the temperature enough to start generating plasm instead of just hot air.
TY
Just install a dozen tridents with conventional warheads. Instant hypersonic with a good range, no need to get near the Chinese.
A very successful joint program.
The universally dreaded Conventional Prompt Strike Missile.
Not to be confused with the Doomsday Prompt Strike Missile and cause hurt feelings.
I wonder how many Trannys are scheduled for their taxpayer paid surgeries on a conventional day in the US Navy?
The F-35 and F-22 have not flown in combat?
“FACT is that we were first to test hypersonic fighters/spy planes.”
Why are you TROLLING again? Perhaps you cannot help it.
This is easy peasy. Try mak8ng an election fair!!!
