Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW)
Abstract
This funding supports the fielding of critical enabling technologies and capabilities that address near-term, and mid-term threats and is directly aligned to the Army Long Range Precision Fires modernization priority. This includes the development and prototype fielding of the LRHW 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 collaboratively with the Navy in the development of the LRHW. The LRHW system consists of the All Up Rounds (AUR) with canister (AUR+C) which includes the Common Hypersonic Glide Body (CHGB) with the Navy 34.5 inch booster, the Battery Operations Center (BOC) for command and control (C2), and the Transporter Erector Launcher (TEL). An LRHW Battery contains 8 AUR+C, 1 BOC, and 4 TELs each carrying 2 AUR+C. Additionally, the LRHW will use a modified version of an existing C2 network, the Advanced Field Artillery Tactical Data System (AFATDS). FY 2024 Base funding in the amount of $900.920M provides for incremental funding of AUR+C, test activities, and integration of Technology Insertions.
