Saint in Paradise Posted 28 August, 2014 Author Share Posted 28 August, 2014 The Army’s Advanced Hypersonic Weapon program had a successful test launch out of Hawaii in November 2011, covering 2,500 miles in about 30 minutes. The plan calls for the weapon to move at speeds of 3,600 mph. http://www.defensenews.com/article/20140825/DEFREG02/308250004/US-Army-s-Hypersonic-Missile-Fails-During-Test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
