Pentagon budget 2023: Hypersonic weapons to get USD4.7 billion boost
28 March 2022
Hypersonic-speed strike weapons remain a high development priority in the Pentagon's fiscal year (FY) 2023 budget. The Department of Defense (DoD) requested USD4.7 billion in research, develop, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) funding for several projects, according to documents released to reporters on 28 March.
In the FY 2022 budget, DoD requested about USD3.8 billion for hypersonic weapons projects.
In its FY 2023 budget documents, DoD said it aims to “field hypersonic weapons within the [five-year defence plan]”. This would include a land-based hypersonic missile battery by FY 2023, hypersonic weapons aboard DDG 1000 ships by FY 2025, and a hypersonic cruise missile by FY 2027.
In 2018 the Pentagon announced that the US Navy (USN) would lead development for a common hypersonic glide body (C-HGB) for use on hypersonic weapon programmes across the services. The common glide vehicle is based on the Alternate Re-Entry System that was developed by Sandia National Laboratories and the US Army.

DARPA and its U.S. Air Force partner recently completed a free flight test of the Lockheed Martin version of the Hypersonic Air-breathing Weapon Concept (HAWC). The vehicle, after release from a carrier aircraft, was boosted to its Aerojet Rocketdyne scramjet engine ignition envelope. From there, it quickly accelerated to and maintained cruise faster than Mach 5 (five times the speed of sound) for an extended period of time. The vehicle reached altitudes greater than 65,000 feet and flew for more than 300 nautical miles.
This is the second successful flight in DARPA’s HAWC program. Last September, a different vehicle configuration from another contractor team also reached hypersonic flight.

Brief Program Summary: The Mayhem Program is focused on delivering a larger class air-breathing hypersonic system capable of executing multiple missions with a standardized payload interface, providing a significant technological advancement and future capability. The standardized payload interface would create multiple opportunities for various payload integration within the same hypersonic system.

4. Schedule:
a. Overall effort:
- IDIQ Contract: The contract period of performance (PoP) will be 51 months. The ordering period will be 45 months
- TO 0001: The PoP for TO 0001 is 15 months, 12 months for technical effort and three (3) months for completing the final reports.

The Air Force is seeking a new, air-breathing hypersonic system, nicknamed "Mayhem," that would be larger than the AGM-183A Air-launched Rapid Response Weapon, and carry multiple payloads, perhaps performing an intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance mission in addition to attack.
...
The system is officially called the Expendable Hypersonic Air-Breathing Multi-Mission Demonstrator Program, but USAF refers to it as "Mayhem," or "Mayhem System Demonstrator" for short.
...
Though apparently larger than the ARRW, the Mayhem still has to be small enough to be carried by a fighter aircraft, according to the solicitation. In recent discussion of the F-15EX, the Air Force and Boeing have said a large payload of 7,000 pounds or so could be mounted on the jet’s centerline station.
According to the solicitation, the Air Force wants a "larger-scale expendable air-breathing hypersonic" system, "capable of carrying larger payloads over distances further than current hypersonic capabilities allow." The missile is to be capable of carrying "at least three distinct payloads" in a "payload bay" for "government-defined mission sets," and these payloads are to be modular. Given that USAF didn’t use the word "warheads," the other payloads are likely to be some kind of sensor or communications systems. The whole system is supposed to be expendable.

En 10 años quieren tener un game changer.
Alrrededor de 3500kg, entonces 250kg es razonable como limite superior para: buenos sensores, una cabeza convencional razonable aunque de caro vector y suficiente para una táctica. Aunque personalmente me iria a la mitad de esa carga en la realidad dependiendo del alcance que le metan, pero si va en línea de la competencia, 500kg son posibles.

No. Estamos hablando de otra tecnología y otra manera de hacer las cosas. Se trata de un "air-breathing" con cierta maniobrabilidad en vez de trayectoria balística, un concepto distinto: https://www.newsintervention.com/hypers ... paredness/
