US Air Force admits failed test of ARRW hypersonic missile.

The US Air Force's test of the AGM-183A Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW) hypersonic missile in March was a failure, according to the service secretary. The program may be in jeopardy, and the Air Force is more committed to the Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM) program at this point. The ARRW program has struggled in its testing program, and a decision on whether to continue with the program could come as part of the FY25 budget process next year following a study of the failed March test and possibly two more test launches.
