The US Army will have a “couple” of live fire flight tests this fiscal year for its hypersonic weapon program as it works toward fielding the missile in the coming months, according to the three-star officer leading the effort. • Lt. Gen. Rob Rasch, director of the Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office, said today the Long-Range Hypersonic Weapon program is still on track to field to units by the end of fiscal 2023. • Rasch said that the tests will “characterize” the glide body, the two-stage rocket motor and ground support equipment. Asked what would happen if the test fails, Rasch said the RCCTO team would “manage risk.” • “If we have an anomaly and we don’t reach our … threshold, then we’ll sit down, analyze it and talk amongst the team and manage the risk as we go,” Rasch said during an event hosted by Defense News. • Soldiers with the I Corps’ 5th Battalion, 3rd Field Artillery Regiment, 17th Field Artillery Brigade at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., have been training with the LRHW since last September, when RCCTO was able to send the ground equipment. That equipment included a battery operations center, four transporter erector launchers and modified trucks and trailers. Each launcher holds two rounds. • #darkeagle #LRHW #hypersonicmissile #usarmy #hypersonicweapon #hypersonic #usarmy #usnavy
