Hypersonic Conventional Strike Weapon (HCSW)
Abstract
The Hypersonic Conventional Strike Weapon (HCSW) Project integrates Air Force, Strategic Capabilities Office, and Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) glide body into a prototype that will demonstrate the viability of this concept to be fielded as a long range prompt strike capability. HCSW will design, develop, manufacture, and test, a number of prototype vehicles to inform decisions concerning future HCSW acquisition and production. In FY 2019, HCSW efforts were transferred from PE 0604858F, Tech Transition Program, to PE 0604033F, Hypersonics Prototyping, Project 643885, Hypersonic Conventional Strike Weapon (HCSW), in order to provide increased transparency to Congress on Air Force prototyping activities as directed in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act 2019. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver HCSW weapon system capability. The use of such program funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605831F.
