Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon
Abstract
Project HX1 Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon funds the RCCTO to field an experimental prototype Hypersonic Weapon System with residual combat capability at the Battery Level as part of the Strategic Fires Battalion in support of Multi-domain Operations by the end of FY 2023 with initial fielding of all ground support equipment less live rounds by the end of FY 2021. The Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW) system will provide the Army a prototype strategic attack weapon system to defeat Anti Access/Area Denial (A2/AD) capabilities, suppress adversary Long Range Fires, and engage other high payoff/time critical targets. The Army is working closely with the Navy in the development of the LRHW. LRHW is common with the Common Hypersonic Glide Body (CHGB), and the Navy 34.5 inch booster. Additionally, the LRHW will use an existing C2 Network, Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS). In 4Q FY 2019, CHGB Other Transactional Agreement (OTA) with Dynetics Technical Solutions (DTS) was awarded. CHGB production schedule was coordinated across all CHGB partners. Utilization of Navy contract for Army All Up Round and Cannister (AUR+C) completed 1Q FY 2020 with Preliminary Design Review (PDR) completed 2Q FY 2020. For the Integration of the LRHW, OTA award to Lockheed Martin Space on 4Q FY 2019. The Transporter / Erector / Launcher (TEL) PDR completed 2Q FY 2020. In 2Q FY 2020, a successful Flight Experiment (FE-2) with the NAVY was conducted.
