In the United States, new tests of the AGM-183A ARRW air-launched hypersonic missile were conducted. On Monday, August 21, according to Defense News.

It was noted that the launches took place on August 19 off the coast of southern California. They were carried out from the Boeing B-52H Stratofortress strategic bomber.

It is reported that as a result of testing by the military and developers, important information about the capabilities of the ARRW missile was obtained. The missile is manufactured by Lockheed Martin Corporation.

Recall that the first working test of the All-Up-Round AGM-183A rocket took place at the end of 2022. It was successful. After separation from the aircraft, the rocket accelerates to hypersonic speed, which is five times the speed of sound. He successfully achieved his goal.

And in April, it was reported that the United States was planning to shut down the AGM-183 ARRW hypersonic missile development program after unsuccessful tests.


The AGM-183A hypersonic missile has a range of 1,000 miles (1,600 km). Its speed reaches more than Mach 5. It is planned to equip the B-52H strategic bomber with missiles of this type in the first place. The missile was developed by Lockheed Martin under a $480 million contract with the Pentagon. It was intended not only for the Air Force, but also for arming US Navy warships.
