Advanced hypersonic weapon concept tested
On November 17, the US Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command conducted the first test flight of the advanced hypersonic weapon (AHW) concept. A first-of-its-kind glide vehicle, designed to fly within the earth’s atmosphere at hypersonic speed and long range, was launched from the Pacific Missile Range Facility, Kauai, Hawaii to the Reagan test site, US Army Kwajalein Atoll.
The objective of the test was to collect data on hypersonic boost-glide technologies and test range performance for long-range atmospheric flight. Mission emphasis was aerodynamics; navigation, guidance, and control; and thermal protection technologies.
The Department of Defense is using AHW to develop and demonstrate technologies for conventional prompt global strike (CPGS). As part of the CPGS effort, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency conducted boost-glide flight tests in April 2010 and August 2011, results from which were used in planning the AHW flight test.
