In a successful trial, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency demonstrated its Operational Fires program.
The US Air Force successfully tested a Lockheed Martin hypersonic missile. On Wednesday, July 13, Reuters reported.
According to publication sources, the air-launched launch vehicle (ARRW) was launched by an aircraft off the coast of California. As indicated, hypersonic weapons move into the upper atmosphere at speeds more than five times the speed of sound (about 6200 km per hour).
In addition, it was reported that during the successful trial, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) demonstrated its Operational Fires program.
The media explained that Operational Fires is a ground-based system that “quickly and accurately hits critical, time-sensitive targets while defeating the enemy’s advanced air defenses.” DARPA requested and received $ 45 million for OpFires this year.
Earlier, the troops of the aggressor country Russia conducted exercises in the Kaliningrad region with the participation of crews of the operational-tactical missile system (OTRK) Iskander.
Prior to this, the Russian Federation conducted military exercises with rocket firing in the Baltic Sea. 10 vessels took part in the maneuvers.
