US Successful hypersonic missile tests #USA #missile #hypersonicmissile #military
The Pentagon carried out successful tests of two different hypersonic missiles systems recently, the US Air Force and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) announced Wednesday.
The AGM-183A Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW) had its second consecutive successful test on Tuesday after a series of testing failures earlier in the program. An Air Force program, the ARRW is a boost-glide system that uses a rocket to accelerate a missile to hypersonic speeds before releasing a hypersonic glider which coasts toward the target at speeds in excess of Mach 5.
The development of hypersonic weapons has been a key priority for the Pentagon amid competition with China and Russia but the program has had a troubled testing history with three consecutive test failures before a successful test in May.
The Air Force did not specify how fast the ARRW flew or what distance it traveled, but it said the missile reached hypersonic speeds and met its primary and secondary objectives. The Air Force will begin testing of the complete system for the first time later this year, called an all-up-round test.
In addition to the successful test of the ARRW, the Pentagon also conducted a successful test of the OpFires missile. The Operational Fires program is run by DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. It was the first flight test of the ground-based hypersonic boost-glide system, which is designed to be launched from a standard military truck, DARPA said.

Fair use is the right to use a copyrighted work under certain conditions without permission of the copyright owner. The doctrine helps prevent a rigid application of copyright law that would stifle the very creativity the law is designed to foster. It allows one to use and build upon prior works in a manner that does not unfairly deprive prior copyright owners of the right to control and benefit from their works. Together with other features of copyright law like the idea/expression dichotomy discussed above, fair use reconciles the copyright statute with the First Amendment.
