Story by Kris Osborn • Yesterday 10:52 AM
Here Comes HALO: The Navy plans to arm its F-35s and F/A-18s with a cutting-edge breakthrough air-launched hypersonic missile called Hypersonic Air-Launched Offensive to destroy enemy ships at sea from the air.
This is a critical ability designed to give maritime attack forces an unprecedented advantage to quickly track and destroy enemy targets from distances of several hundred miles away.
Next Phase of HALO
Two industry giants, Lockheed and Raytheon, are building prototype missiles with the hope of being selected for the next phase in 2024. There are not a lot of details available when it comes to the specific technologies enabling this platform, and little information about tests or progress for the HALO thus far, however, the prospect of such a weapon introduces potentially unprecedented tactical advantages
. Much of the weapon's success, however, would likely pertain to the effectiveness and sophistication of its guidance systems.
