US Pentagon ensures hypersonic resilience
Three recent Pentagon contracts have enhanced the supply chain for hypersonic technologies as the US focuses on the arms race tilt of its competition with China.

This announcement follows President Biden’s recognition of the need to support and advance the development of the domestic hypersonics industrial base. This was outlined in the FY2024 budget, published 13 March 2023, which invests “in resiliency in key parts of the defence supply chain to ensure stability in the industrial base’s ability to produce what the Joint Force needs.”

The budget allocates $11bn toward a mix of lethal precision weapons such as hypersonic technologies among others.

The companies receiving the awards include General Electric (GE), Carbon-Carbon Advanced technologies (C-CAT) and Northrop Grumman.

GE was awarded a $7.9m contract to engage in a 39-month effort to increase capacity for the production of high and ultra-high temperature composites (U/HTC). It also modernises capital equipment to support the scale-up of aeroshell production.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Neville Chamberlain waved around a piece of paper signed by Herr Hitler and declared peace in his time.  Military agreements mean absolutely nothing without vigilance and careful monitoring.  Neither is a strong trait in the DOD.
