Army ‘On Track’ to Field Hypersonic Missiles by 2023
6/5/2019
By Connie Lee


The Army is on track to field an experimental unit armed with hypersonic missiles by fiscal year 2023, according to the service official in charge of developing the technology.

“When I received that mission earlier this year, I immediately got the team together,” Lt. Gen. Neil Thurgood, head of the Army Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies Office, told reporters June 4 at the Pentagon. “We added some other players to the team and put together a strategy to do that and a timeline and a budget to do that.”

Now, “that program is on track to do what it needs to do,” Thurgood said.
