"US Air Force Conducts Final Test of ARRW Hypersonic Missile Amid Budget Priorities and International Concerns"

The Air Force conducted what may be the final test of the AGM-183A Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW) on March 17, but details about the test's success were not disclosed. While the ARRW's future remains uncertain, recent testimony from Pentagon leaders suggests that decisions about its production are pending final analysis of all flight test data. The Air Force's budget request indicates a shift in near-term missile research to the Hypersonic Attack Cruise Missile (HACM) program, with funding allocated for its development in the next fiscal year.
