Weapon Concept
Today the U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command/Army
Forces Strategic Command conducted the first test flight of the Advanced
Hypersonic Weapon (AHW) concept. At 6:30 a.m. EST (1:30 a.m. Hawaii-
Aleutian Time), a first-of-its-kind glide vehicle, designed to fly within
the earth’s atmosphere at hypersonic speed and long range, was launched
from the Pacific Missile Range Facility, Kauai, Hawaii to the Reagan Test
Site, U.S. Army Kwajalein Atoll.
The objective of the test is to collect data on hypersonic boost
-glide technologies and test range performance for long-range atmospheric
flight. Mission emphasis is aerodynamics; navigation, guidance, and control
; and thermal protection technologies.
A three-stage booster system launched the AHW glide vehicle and
successfully deployed it on the desired flight trajectory. The vehicle flew
a non-ballistic glide trajectory at hypersonic speed to the planned impact
location at the Reagan Test Site. Space, air, sea, and ground platforms
collected vehicle performance data during all phases of flight. The data
collected will be used by the Department of Defense to model and develop
future hypersonic boost-glide capabilities.
The AHW program is managed and executed by the U.S. Army Space
and Missile Defense Command/Army Forces Strategic Command program office in
Huntsville, Ala. The booster system and glide vehicle were developed by
Sandia National Laboratories, Albuquerque, N.M. and the thermal protection
system by the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Research Development and
Engineering Center, Huntsville, Ala.
The Department of Defense is using AHW to develop and
demonstrate technologies for Conventional Prompt Global Strike (CPGS). As
part of the CPGS effort, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
conducted boost-glide flight tests in April 2010 and August 2011, results
from which were used in planning the AHW flight test.
