In the interests of the US armed forces, a number of hypersonic missile systems of various classes with various capabilities are currently being developed. The first developments in this area are already entering flight tests, according to the results of which they will be able to enter service. However, the future of these complexes is still uncertain. The events and events of the outgoing 2021 have shown that the hypersonic program is facing significant difficulties.

Actual questions


The American hypersonic program currently provides for the development of a large number of promising missile systems of various kinds. New samples are being created for the ground forces, for the Air Force and the Navy. At the same time, both independent samples and unified weapons for different types of troops are offered.



This year, the main news from the United States on hypersonic topics were associated with only two promising developments. These are the AGM-183A ARRW air-launched cruise missile and the LRHW Dark Eagle ground complex. As reported aviation the ammunition has already been brought to flight tests, and the ground system is still only preparing for them.

It should be noted that the news about these projects is not yet conducive to optimism. So, the ARRW product has never completed a test flight program, which negatively affects the progress of the project and the entire hypersonic direction. The LRHW project, despite some movement forward, has not yet demonstrated its capabilities.


Successful launches of ARRW so far can only be seen in pictures.

Difficulties in the test phase — observable and anticipated — lead to known risks. First of all, they negatively affect the timing of the work and delay the start of rearmament. In addition, in the hypersonic sphere, the United States is already lagging behind Russia and China, and the failure of their projects may lead to a gradual widening of the gap.

Failure in the air


The greatest success among American projects is now shown by the AGM-183A Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon rocket project. Unlike other developments, it has already entered flight tests, during which it must confirm the calculated characteristics. However, experimental missiles are not yet able to cope with this task.

Flight tests of the ARW-183A began in 2019 with export flights. The B-52H flying laboratory carried the rocket under the wing and collected the necessary data, but the product was not dropped. Until the end of 2020, six such missions were carried out, which ensured the collection of the necessary information and preparation for subsequent events.

The first attempt to dump and independently fly an ARRW rocket was carried out on April 5, 2021. As it became known later, the carrier aircraft carried out all the necessary procedures, prepared the rocket, but was unable to drop it. The reasons for this and the nature of the problems encountered were not specified.


Soon, in May, another export flight took place, the purpose of which was to check control systems weapons carrier aircraft and testing of the onboard equipment of the rocket. At a great distance from the base, the B-52H received the necessary information and prepared the missile for release and flight.

The next test launch of ARW-183A was scheduled for July 28, 2021. During this test, the bomber successfully completed all launch preparation procedures and then dropped the rocket. The product was supposed to go to the designated target, but this did not happen. For some unknown reason, the rocket did not start the engine, and then fell into the ocean.

The last test launch attempt at the moment took place on December 15 and was also unsuccessful. Due to an unknown failure, the preparative procedure was interrupted. The launch failed, and the B-52H returned to the airfield with a rocket under its wing. The developers of the project will have to study all the information collected, find the causes of the incident and modify the means of the missile system in order to avoid its repetition.

Timing problem


ARRW project schedule is for FY2021. several test launches were to take place, incl. with the successful implementation of the flight program and the defeat of the training target. Thereafter, for FY2022. it was planned to purchase the first pre-production batch of 12 missiles for further activities. Then in FY2023. or later, the Pentagon was going to deploy full-scale production and adopt the AGM-183A into service.

The first part of these plans has already been thwarted. Despite all efforts, three flight tests ended in failure. Finding and fixing technical problems will take some time, and then it will be necessary to conduct a new stage of flight tests and confirm the successful getting rid of the shortcomings. At the same time, it is necessary to fulfill the originally planned flight test program.

Depending on the nature of the problems identified and the complexity of their fix, the AGM-183A may take at least several months to complete. Then some time will have to be spent on the next stage of testing. It is unlikely that these works will meet the approved schedule, and the launch of production by the end of FY2022. now looks unlikely.

"Eagle" in the army


A hypersonic missile system for ground forces LRHW or Dark Eagle is currently being prepared for flight tests. The design work for this system has already been completed. In addition, the necessary tests of various components and means of the complex were carried out, including the planning hypersonic warhead.

In mid-September, one of the units of the ground forces handed over the means of an experimental LRHW complex. These are two towed launchers with tractors, a unified command post AFATDS 7.0 and several transport and launch containers with missile dummies. Now the personnel are mastering this technique and preparing for testing.


One of the first LRHW launchers transferred to the troops

According to current plans, the first launch of a hypersonic missile from an experienced LRHW will take place in the coming weeks or months. During 2022, the Pentagon is going to conduct a series of flight tests, which will have to confirm the design characteristics and capabilities of the missiles. With the successful implementation of such plans, in 2023 the deployment of LRHW in the troops will begin with the organization of experimental combat duty.

Reason for optimism


The exact date of the first flight of the LRHW rocket has not yet been announced. In addition, the timing of the entire cycle of flight and other tests is questionable. It is obvious that all launches and production will be completed in 2022-23. will succeed only in the absence of serious problems of a technical or other nature. Otherwise, the schedule for Dark Eagle will also need to be adjusted.

It should be noted that the Pentagon has reason to be optimistic about the LRHW project. The fact is that ready-made and used components are widely used as part of the new complex. So, it includes a unified command post, launchers are built on serial semi-trailers, and the Common-Hypersonic Glide Body (C-HGB) planning warhead passed flight tests in 2017 and 2020.

However, the use of finished products is not a guarantee of success. The ARRW aircraft complex was also built using existing components, but this did not help it during testing. Whether the overland LRHW will manage not to face the same problems is a big question.

Plans for the future


There has been some progress in the US hypersonic program, but there are also serious difficulties. At the same time, several projects of real weapons for the troops are being developed at once, and some of them have already been brought to the stage of full-fledged tests, which can be considered a success. However, this success is overshadowed by regular challenges in trials and impending missed deadlines.

This year's news suggests that the US hypersonic program is still out of schedule. The likelihood of completing ARRW and LRHW projects on time is constantly decreasing. At the same time, the problems of the two most successful projects can negatively affect other developments and further worsen the general condition of the entire direction.

Thus, the situation in the US hypersonic program remains difficult. None of the new models of hypersonic weapons have yet been accepted into service, and their development is facing serious problems. At the same time, the main geopolitical opponents have already created similar or different systems and put them on alert. Time will tell whether the Pentagon and industry will be able to cope with all the problems and close the existing gap.

    The fact that the mattress makers will sooner or later finish the hypersound is beyond doubt .. Still, a great technological and scientific power is still not everywhere, command positions have not been distributed to blacks and transvestites .. The question is - where will Russia and China go by that time? The modern arms race is a serious thing - a lag even by 10 years can be fatal - you will fucking catch up with your opponents .. Unless, of course, they themselves, out of stupidity, don't slow down ..

      In general, the figure lagging behind 10-15 years is simply magical. We are constantly lagging behind the United States in everything by 10-15 years. I can judge this by my civilian specialty - geophysics. The industry is very high-tech and many sensors, emitters, computer solutions are dual-use. We are all the time lagging behind the USA in this industry by 10-15 years. I am sure that we have the same lag in microelectronics, acoustic sensors and emitters, high-precision weapons and so on. In the case of a nuclear bomb, at the cost of incredible efforts, we managed to reduce the backlog to 4-5 years. But not more.
      The only way to be ahead is to create breakthrough projects that the United States does not have. Then the United States will lag behind us for 10-15 years. Therefore, I do not think that the United States will have something from hypersound in 22-23 years. 10-15 years is a magic figure.

        lagging behind us in microelectronics

        I'm not sure about that. For the constant race for magic microns on a chip is leveled by the complete lack of programming culture in recent years .. Instead of optimizing the code, hired Indians are piling up wild constructions that require more and more resources and performance each time .. This is me who is the overwhelming majority of tasks it is possible to solve on older chips no less efficiently. If you write the software correctly.

        I remember in the distant young years - my unforgettable OS / 2 WARP was launched in 4 MB of memory !! True - it groaned for an hour, but it started up along with the graphical shell! This was a correctly and well-written thing. Not like modern hack .. Philip Kahn once postulated that any useful software should fit on a maximum of 4 floppy disks. And after all, he almost succeeded ..

          Our programmers are renowned for their code efficiency. It was known when I studied applied mathematics at the institute. Since the limited power did not allow you to relax.
          But now there are a lot of tasks that require instant processing of huge amounts of data. Neural networks, processing of an array of measurements in conditions when the signal is below the noise level, and so on and so on. Moreover, in conditions of extremely limited energy consumption and size, such as on fighters. Here, no matter how you write the code, the power of the calculator is required.

            Here once, when they handed over a single control center for the armed forces in Russia, a computer was also mentioned for processing information there. I was dumbfounded to hear his power and ability to process information. If someone finds it, then post it here. So, it is an order of magnitude more powerful than the most powerful supercomputer in the US, which I know about, and the Chinese one, which was recently launched.

        Well, look at the Iranian nuclear program - nuclear physicists are dying like flies, and we all know what is the reason.
        In Russia, tsars died in batches from bombers until they achieved their revolution.
        In the USSR, too, key scientists-developers, even the leaders of the country, died in batches. We have been artificially limited to the development of Iran, since the time of Ivan the Terrible, and if you look deeper - since the time of Svyatoslav.

                For which he sat down. The fact that he was "slightly spoiled" there is another story. There were always plenty of de-beels and professors in the Organs.

                  Not only. For example - being in the most important defense institute, this whole warm company was engaged in anything except the development of models of equipment suitable for adoption .. Teshila, so to speak, his design ego .. And this - almost before the war itself! But right after the repressions, the famous BM-13 was created and tested .. The people finally realized why the state was allocating a lot of money to them .. And then they behaved extremely dignified, glorifying the country throughout the world.

                  Or let's say Tupolev. In the mid-30s - he was doing the devil, without giving anything serious. Plus - the famous business trip to America, in which he distinguished himself. They planted - and on you, after 2 years the best front-line bomber Tu-2! And further - he did not allow himself any liberties ..

                  So - we have to keep our ears open with this creative scientific public, periodically reminding them for what the state supports them.

                      Responsible people - even without orders, they still quietly develop what they consider necessary for the Motherland. Do not hesitate to actively convince the country's leadership that they are right. Remember the biography of the same Grabin, for example. And Tupolev then - clearly relaxed .. And this - just before the war! So I had to bring to life .. To his credit, it should be noted - he understood everything at once.

      The worst thing is that they are ahead in potential carriers of the Russian Federation and China combined. Hypersonic missiles (with tactical nuclear warheads, of course) and their carriers are not subject to START. Accordingly, the United States will be able to deploy medium-range ground-based missiles on the western and eastern borders, from the sea the threat will come not only from Ohio but also from Los Angeles and the Virginias, the air component is a separate pain - any C-130 can become a bomber, not to mention classic bombers and fighters.
      The threat of the first decontaminating nuclear strike is becoming maximum. There is no adequate answer from our side, China is still trying.

Our cat cried elementary fighters, YES is living out its days. There are 7 AWACS aircraft throughout the country. PLO and MRA are absent as a class. There are only enough tankers for YES.

By your logic, the F-35 and, for example, its engine are modernizations of the F-22 and F-15 engines from the same Soviet period.

The fact that he did not suit the receptionists, says the fact that in 2021 the Su-57 were not even transferred to the Aerospace Forces. And in general, there has been at least a minimum of news since the beginning of last year. That's when it will go through an experimental military operation, it will be brought to mind and put into service, perhaps.

            Role does not play. The problem is that the Su-57 is not in service and it is not clear when it will be adopted. MiG-31 and Tu-22M are measured in tens. Our cat cried elementary fighters, YES is living out its days. There are 7 AWACS aircraft throughout the country. PLO and MRA are absent as a class. There are only enough tankers for YES. This is aviation.
            There is no need to talk about the fleet, we can no longer ensure the deployment of our SSBNs.

            I agree with you completely. While we do not have carriers, we need to intensively prepare cheap options - ground mobile complexes. So, at least along the borders of the country, we will build a defense. After all, it is no secret that as soon as the Americans have hypersound, they immediately, without hesitation and chewing snot about the world, will deploy them at our borders. I won’t be surprised that it will be near Kharkov, for example.

            Don't write nonsense. Everything you need to a minimum, we have created. Attacks, if any, are not from all directions at once. On the most dangerous and placed in the first barriers from the radar warning of an attack. If there are launches and even before they hit the objects there will be an answer. In addition, air defense systems are deployed in such a way that in the area of ​​\uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbstrategic objects it is possible to block the flight paths of missiles.
            It's just the responsibility of the General Staff to think about how to deploy troops and means for the greatest effectiveness in intercepting or withdrawing from under attack.
            True, there is a problem. Ours will hit on military and strategic targets, the Americans, as our generals noticed at one time, will hit where there is more population. This is their main task in a nuclear war - to reduce the population of Russia as much as possible. Therefore, it is not worth pitying their population and their satellites. Kill the population first.

We have the Dagger, which is already in the troops and is tied to a specific carrier of the MiG 31, there is the Vanguard also in the troops on the ICBM, and there is the Zircon for the Navy, which has completed a kind of test, uses a standard PU of modern ships and are waiting for its production, everything is clear. The United States has a couple of projects that have not yet been tested and what's what with a pitchfork on the water.
      But about China, everyone says that they are ahead of the United States for years, but in what? There is no information that would be buzzing with ears, only UAVs were shown at the parade, but what else does China have? Where is he really ahead of the United States?

              I can give you logical reasoning on the mountain if you ask a specific question. What exactly are you interested in?
              Any coastal and shipborne radar stations will not be able to fully issue a control center for moving sea targets, especially those in radio silence. Without AWACS aviation, of which we have 7 units in service for the entire fleet and all the armed forces in general, what else will the control center issue for AUG for hypersonic missiles? I will listen carefully to your options. Comrades have already suggested to me this option - to launch a rocket somewhere there, in the intended direction of the AUG, roughly speaking, to the north, and the GOS will sort it out there))

                I would like to know your opinion about the notorious Liana control center system. It is the satellite component. They write on the Internet: unique satellites will be able to detect enemy ships in any corner of the oceans for thousands of kilometers and accurately aim winged "Calibers" at them, as well as hypersonic "Daggers" and "Zircons".
                What are your predictions about its readiness and will the Americans have time to create their own hypersonic weapons by its readiness?
                Comrades have already suggested to me this option - to launch a rocket somewhere there, in the intended direction of the AUG, roughly speaking, to the north, and the GOS will sort it out there))

                As far as I understand, the GOS is connected at the final stage of the flight trajectory, although I do not exclude that the rocket can move all the way through the laid down map of the terrain and heights initially in the GOS. The main thing is to set the coordinates initially, where it will go and turn on the active mode at the last stage. Am I wrong?

                  And here everything is very simple - just google how many satellites are in the Liana system now, estimate how many of them are needed to cover online observation of at least the Mediterranean Sea (calculate their orbit at speed, orbital period, altitude) - and everything will immediately become clear. There was an article here about approximate calculations, but I can't find a link anymore, I then looked for more accurate data - and the conclusions there are unambiguous. 5 satellites are not just few, they are NOTHING at all. The Americans and Chinese have a lot more of them, but giving out the control center in real time, even for them, is an unbearable task and will not be implemented soon. We need at least hundreds, or even thousands of satellites, different, with different parameters.
                  That is why, in issuing control instructions, they do not rely on satellites, but are actively developing AWACS aviation, which, unfortunately, we do not do.
                  As a promising (!) Reconnaissance and detection system - yes! As the issuance of the control center in real time - and not close, and will not be soon, if any.

                  ZGRLS are suitable for detection, not control units. And detection is very, very relative. If the NK goes in the radio silence mode, it will not be detected, and they will only go on in the order until the air wing destroys the anti-ship missile carrier and these same ZGRLS.
                  Remember the incident in the late 70s, when two AUGs went off the coast of Kamchatka, and for several days they were chased by at least two regiments of naval reconnaissance aircraft, and could not find it. AUG was in the radio silence mode then. So then the USSR was at the peak of its military power. Opportunities for naval reconnaissance and aviation are now not nearly the same. So ask yourself a question - why did the ZGRLS not help then? Huy was then promoted to the highest party leadership.
                  And then - the ZGRLS does not bury the entire coast in threatening directions. They need to be built on the shore every 500 km of the coastline - so count them.

                        Where did you get what it doesn’t have, the Ministry of Defense launched a lot of satellites, there are even spy satellites on other satellites, and it can control them with great accuracy in orbit, which means that the position system is working very well, now in general the military has begun to be very secretive again. many things are recognized by the public after the tests or when they are already going to the troops. .About where you read it, it hasn't worked for a very long time, there switching from passive to active very quickly, and radars are not laser guns and the frequency at large distances will not allow it, traps are also an old topic, like AI on rockets, still stood on Granites, and these rockets do not fly, one at a time, a bunch of them fly. And read about the American anti-ship missile practice, everything is not very good there, they don't even bother about interception, but focus on aviation, only the Papuans can bomb. Aircraft radars are made for detecting small targets, AUG is not just to detect, it is very strange to lose it, such a fool.

On ours it no longer works, there is a system for memorizing the target and it is not so easy to shoot it down with a trap, as well as a beam of interference, it will aim at it.

    The fact that the mattress makers will sooner or later finish the hypersound is beyond doubt .. Still, a great technological and scientific power is still not everywhere, command positions have not been distributed to blacks and transvestites .. The question is - where will Russia and China go by that time? The modern arms race is a serious thing - a lag even by 10 years can be fatal - you will fucking catch up with your opponents .. Unless, of course, they themselves, out of stupidity, don't slow down ..

    Consider what they are experiencing. For example, an LRHW with a speed of 17 mach and a range of 2775+ km, which no one else has equal to it in the project, and they are already preparing to test it. ARRW is also a very promising option, more than 20 swings and no one else has equal, even in the project. If they really finish it up to 24-25 years, the question will arise who is lagging behind whom, because China and the Russian Federation simply will not have weapons with such capabilities except for the Russian Ju-71, but I strongly doubt that the hypersonic UBB Yu-71 can be used in ordinary conflicts like in Syria, for example, rather it is needed for the last war. They want to take such a leap to eliminate the lagging behind and even overtake their competitors, whether it will work out - time will tell.

    Hypersonic missiles, stealth aircraft, deep-sea submarines, well, in general, there is an arms race. It seems to me that it would be better for the whole world to create a single center against comets and asteroids to protect the planet. The start of this project would be based on the Russian interplanetary tug "Zeus" at a nuclear installation. All states of the world would allocate for this only 0,5 percent of GDP per year and you can start. After all, no matter how much we boast of our achievements, we are still powerless against "hypersonic" asteroids and comets. The problem is waiting for its solution

      Hypersonic missiles, stealth aircraft, deep-sea submarines, well, in general, there is an arms race. It seems to me that it would be better if the whole world would create

      Wars should not be underestimated. It was intraspecific aggression that saved humanity and allowed it to settle and live until the 21st century.

      Without wars and conflicts, everyone would sit peacefully within a known territory, and a khan would come to everyone in the event of a major cataclysm

      This opinion was met, and it seemed logical to me

    The Queen and Landau were also artificially limited to the camps?

    And he and the other - sat for very specific cases, there is no need to throw liberal propaganda here .. They thought it over, were released and finally brought considerable benefit to the Motherland ..

    - Korolev, Landau and another one and a half million were "on business" ?? They "changed their minds and reformed" - and then they were released ?! Where does such a piggy worldview come from a modern shkolota ?! Do history teachers really tell you this in class?

    Everything is simple. In the States, hypersound is honest 343x5 as the own speed of a rocket in the densest surface layers. And we, as always, began to scam. Not 343, but much less, because the speed of sound in the stratosphere is lower. And it gives out such a speed not in the surface layers, but at a height where the air density is less. And she does not reach such speeds herself, but starts from the side of a three-wing interceptor. That is, according to the Hamburg account, our missiles have no right to be called hypersonic. But the Americans will certainly master it, they have complete order with financing, technologies, equipment and personnel.
