The C-HGB unit can reach speeds of up to Mach five and can also maneuver at different altitudes.

The US Army and Navy have successfully tested a non-nuclear hypersonic missile in Florida. This was stated in a statement by the Pentagon on Thursday, December 12.

“The military successfully conducted a comprehensive flight test of a conventional hypersonic missile from the US Space Force base at Cape Canaveral in Florida,” the statement said.

We are talking about the Common Hypersonic Glide Body (C-HGB) missile.

The Pentagon noted that this was the second successful test of this type in 2024. US Navy Secretary Carlos del Toro called the launch in Florida “an important milestone in the development of one of the most advanced weapons systems” available in Washington.

Defense Department spokesman Patrick Ryder said the United States plans to accelerate the development and testing of such weapons.

Hypersonic weapons are missile weapons, the warhead of which moves at hypersonic speeds through the atmosphere (ie above Mach 5, or in the range of 5000-25000 km/h).

Northrop Grumman Corporation, in collaboration with the US Missile Defense Agency, began work on the creation of a hypersonic missile interceptor.

The US Navy intends to equip some of its ships with Patriot air defense interceptor missiles amid fears that China will deploy hypersonic weapons to sink ships in the Pacific Ocean.
