Hypersonics

The Air Force is expanding its hypersonic testing facilities, relying on partnerships for its future experiments.

The U.S. Army's spending plan eliminates 93 programs while cutting back on others to fund science and technology efforts.

John Richardson listed the Navy's intention to "develop and field an offensive hypersonic weapon by 2025" as a top priority.

The secretary of the Army wants to accelerate research into hypersonic and other advanced weapons.

The move comes after Pentagon officials said in recent months they fear the U.S. may be lagging behind in hypersonics.

Gen. Mark Milley sees the Army fielding hypersonic weapons to counter similar threats from adversaries such as Russia.

The Pentagon sees hypersonic weaponry as a potential game changer.
