The US hypersonic weapons program has reached a major milestone, with a Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC) hypersonic cruise missile developed by Raytheon Technologies and Northrop Grumman completing two successful flight tests in a row.
-
Using a 50-kW high-energy laser weapon, a US Army Stryker combat vehicle acquired, tracked, targeted, and defeated multiple 60-mm mortar rounds and other threats during four weeks of live-fire exercises at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico.
-
Raytheon Missiles & Defense and Northrop Grumman successfully flew an air-breathing hypersonic missile. Part of a program for DARPA and the US Air Force, the HAWC prototype promises hypersonic missiles that can fly farther and at lower altitudes.
-
In a first-of-its-kind technology demonstration, an uncrewed vehicle operated by the US Marine Corps has launched an anti-ship missile from the shore during a live-fire exercise in Hawaii, scoring a direct hit.
-
The US Navy has given Raytheon the go ahead to start production of the latest Block of the Tomahawk cruise missile. The Block V variant will start work later this year, giving the missile a life extension of 15 years plus increased capabilities.
-
Astronomers have captured stunning new high-resolution radar images of the Moon, using an experimental instrument on a ground telescope. This proof of concept test paves the way for a more powerful radar telescope that could see as far as Neptune.
-
Raytheon Missiles & Defense is developing a ramjet-propelled shell that will double the range of US military artillery to over 62 miles. The tactical 155mm XM1155 is designed to combine increased range with precision targeting technology.
-
Raytheon and the US Navy have successfully fired a precision-guided munition that can be fired from a howitzer and zero in on a moving object. The test demonstrated its ability to find its target and withstand the shock of being fired out of a gun.
-
Under a DARPA contract, Raytheon is using synthetic biology techniques to produce two new strains of bacteria – one to seek out hidden explosives below ground and another on the surface that glows when they're found.
-
The US Air Force has taken delivery of its first high-energy laser for shooting down Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). Built by Raytheon, it will be used in overseas deployments as part of a year-long experiment.
-
Raytheon has taken the wraps off its new Peregrine medium-range, air-to-air missile that is half the size of current missiles.
