In May 2020, the Pentagon confirmed that it was developing a sophisticated hypersonic missile that was earlier touted by then-President Donald Trump as a "super duper" weapon.
The US Navy along with its industry team has conducted the first live-fire test of a rocket engine designed to propel the American military's Conventional Prompt Strike (CPS) offensive hypersonic missile and Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW).
According to a press release by the US Navy, the test of the first-stage solid rocket motor (SRM) was carried out in Promontory, Utah on Thursday.
