Summary and Key Points: After years of struggling to adapt to new global threats, the U.S. Army has achieved a significant breakthrough with the successful test of its Long Range Hypersonic Weapon (LRHW), also known as the Dark Eagle, on June 28, 2024.
-With a range of 1,725 miles and the ability to travel over 3,800 mph, this ground-launched, truck-based system can strike targets while evading missile defenses.
-The Dark Eagle represents a crucial advancement in countering China’s anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) strategies and restoring U.S. military dominance. Congress is urged to prioritize funding for this program to enhance U.S. strategic capabilities in the Indo-Pacific.
