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.

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.

Not that I mind, but I would think this would be an Air Force weapon, not an Army one. Good job Soldiers !

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.

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...

Hmmm, a manuervable hypersonic missile.
Seems like I read not so long ago the Russians announced developing the same thing, touting how it could defeat any missile defenses.
