ARRW Flies at Hypersonic Speeds in First Successful Test
Off the coast of Southern California, the AGM-183A ARRW separated from the wing of a B-52H Stratofortress, according to an Air Force release, then its booster ignited and burned for an “expected duration,” flying at hypersonic speeds—at least five times the speed of sound.
The 419th Flight Test Squadron and the Global Power Bomber Combined Test Force from Edwards Air Force Base, Calif., executed the test.
The AGM-183A is a developmental boost-glide hypersonic missile to provide future, nonnuclear strike against time-sensitive, heavily defended, high-value targets from standoff range. The missile is designed to accelerate to speeds well in excess of Mach 5 before releasing a non-powered glide...
